PLOT SUMMARY
Unconvinced that Jason is really dead, Tommy digs up his body and is
horrified when a bolt of lightning reanimates him. Before you know it,
Jason is up to all his old tricks and teenagers are dropping like flies
again at the newly re-opened Camp Crystal Lake. Naturally no-one believes
Tommy's story except the sheriff's daughter who springs him from jail
for a confrontation with his worst nightmare.
CAPSULE REVIEW
Desperation was clearly beginning to set in by now. Realising that
the fans weren't going to sit still for more Fridays without Jason,
Paramount went to extraordinary lengths to bring their anti-hero back.
The film contains a few nice self-parodic moments - the opening sequence
wherein Jason lampoons James Bond is particularly good - and director
McLoughlin makes effective use of the fact that Jason is now a zombie.
The climax, though nonsensical, is effective in that it brings the series
so far full circle; Tommy manages to chain Jason to a huge rock and
drops him back into the depths of Crystal Lake. Now, of course, Paramount
could get away with subjecting Jason to any indignity safe in the knowledge
that they can resurrect him at will. And they were quite prepared to
do just that. (Full
