This is without a doubt one of my favorites of the franchise. It all begins when Jason tries to takedown an undercover FBI agent (whose footwear keeps changing as she's chased through the woods) and he's blown to bits in a spectacular, over the top fashion. The doctor doing the autopsy is seduced into eating his black heart and from than on it's a whole bunch of body switching like 1987s The Hidden but way amped up. The masked maniac is a demon parasite in search of a family member so that he can become his old self again. It's all a bit goofy and there are some unintentional funnies but who cares. The movie is fantastically gory and overly entertaining. Not only does it have the best kills of the series but also has the best kill of any slasher ever. The "tent split" is beyond amazing and needs to be experienced in it's full unrated cut like the rest of the glorious film. And as a horror fan how can I not appreciate all the homages and genre universe expanding. From the Halloween references to the Necronomicon from Evil Dead which makes Jason a full fledged deadite to freddy's glove dragging his mask into hell. It's all an absolute crazy, goretastic, insanely fun bundle of genre goodness.
4.25/5
