7/10
it's no Final Chapter, but it's no Jason X either
2 February 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Friday the 13th Part V: a New Beginning is often considered the worst of the Friday films. it isn't very scary and Jason isn't the killer, but, so what? It has an awesome body count, along with awesome kills and some above-average acting from John Shepard. Roy, the killer, racks up a high kill number, so cut him some slack, and Danny Steinmann is okay as director for this type of film. but think about it, is this a weak entry because of everything that plagued Part VII, which isn't really a favorite of anybody's? well, people don't like all of those killings, nor the nudity, or the whole Carrie thing. but this one is missing Jason, so what if Jason was the killer, what would be your opinion. would you change it? stop being so serious, its a Friday sequel, give the nitpicking a break! a few things I was unhappy with: Roy is very strong

at the end, when we see Roy in the mask, it's the only time we see him in the mask, never when he kills people

the final chase hints that the killer is actually Jason, but its obviously somebody else.

but that's about all I have against this film. also, check out this image on Google Image Search; Debi Sue Voorhees
