This is not a fun stupid movie. This is a stupid movie that makes me want to claw my skin off.

The spiciest entry in the series, it boasts the most T&A, an incredible double homicide, a witty reference to A Place in the Sun, and yokels chopping chickens.

While it is safe to say none of these movies was particularly worth making, I believe Part 5 is the one that brought the least for our collective edification.

The worst Jason story, but the best nudity of the entire series!

Like most of the film's in this series, it's seldom more than just about adequate. Love the flare-in-the-mouth kill, though.

Jason's faux-comeback is a dreary and uninvolving affair.
