Friday the 13th, Part VI - Jason Lives (1986)

As a child, Tommy Jarvis did what many others died trying to do, he killed Jason Vorhees, the mass murderer who terrorized the residents of Crystal lake. But now, years later, Tommy is tormented by the fear that maybe Jason isn't really dead. So, Tommy and a friend go to the cemetery to dig up Jason's grave. Unfortunately for Tommy, (and very unfortunately for his friend), instead of finding a rotting corpse, they discover a well rested Jason who comes back from the dead for another bloody rampage in Friday The 13th - Part VI: Jason Lives.

Ahead of its time -- No, really

In "The Final Chapter," Tommy Jarvis "kills" Jason with a machete. Now two films later, Tommy tries to put his haunted past behind him by digging up Jason to make sure he's dead. In the process, a bolt of lightning strikes Jason's long-dead corpse and reanimates him. Doh!

From the premise, it's clear that "Jason Lives" isn't taking itself too seriously, and that the franchise has taken a badly needed tonal detour. (This is a full decade before "Scream" performed the full overhaul on the slasher yarn). But "Jason Lives" differs from the other Friday the 13th films up to that point in that it is Tommy Jarvis rather than Jason Voorhees who is the true protagonist in this story. In this respect, "Jason Lives" resembles the "Evil Dead" series more so than any other Friday the 13th film. Like the setup where Ash must vanquish the evil spirits he's unwittingly unleashed, "Jason Lives" is about a man who's opened a pandora's box, and spends the rest of the film trying to stuff the beast back into that box. Definitely worth watching for fans of the 80's B-movie and slasher genre. A killer-B all the way. October 5, 2008

Friday the 13th Part VI: JASON LIVES is the best sequel!!!

This is one of the better and one of my favorite Friday the 13th movies. It's different. It's not just horny teenagers in an abandoned house and Jason happens to show up and kill them which about 4 sequels are. Tommy Jarvis wants to make sure Jason is dead. (Pretend Part V never happened!) Him and a friend go to the cemetery to make sure, but Tommy accidentally brings Jason back to life. This is the one where Jason becomes more of a zombie and walks, instead of running. Tommy gets thrown in jail, and the Sheriff's daughter, Meagan begins to have a crush on Tommy. Camp Crystal Lake has been renamed to Forrest Green because no one wants to remember about Jason. Later, Meagan helps Tommy break out of jail so he can go to Crystal Lake and stop Jason once and for all!!! July 30, 2008

Behold!!!!!!!!!! FRANKEN JASON!!!!!!

The most worthless movie of the series, Jason gets brought back to life with what? A LIGHTNING BOLT???
You've GOT to be kidding???
As if they wouldn't have cremated him???
Oh yeah, they were supposed to but somebody overlooked it.
LOL Yeah right.
Some guy kills five hundred people and they forget?
Not likely.
Sickeningly stupid story, horribly directed, horrid acting.
Bad.
Bad.
Bad.
ENOUGH!!!!!!!!
But does Hollyweird stop after this utter disaster? Noooooooooo.......
Give it up!!!!
AVOID!!!!

GOOD MOVIE;JASON RULZE!!!

This movie was pretty good, expecially at the beginning where Jason Voorhees is now a corpse Zombie while Tommy & his friend OZ head to the cemetry to dig up his grave to be certain that after all those years, Jason is really dead. Or is he???
The sight of Jason is not an easy one to watch though with all the bugs and maggots/worms and cobwebs crawl all over his face is quite revolting(still an awesume effect).

Throughout the movie, Jason's kills are pretty good, but you don't see much gore unlike the rest of the series.

This movie is worth seeing as Tommy Jarvis battles Jason Voorhees to the finish at Camp Crystal Lake.

C.J Graham as Jason does an awesume job in this one. 3.5 stars out of 5 for me!!!
