6/06: The formula works for Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives because it's such a huge moneymaker.

11/14: It really rains a lot in Friday the 13th movies, huh?

In Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives, crazy Tommy Jarvis decides to dig up Jason Voorhees to convince himself that he's still dead despite hacking him into pieces with a machete over thirty times. I guess he should have gone for another thirty to make himself sicker than before.

Now, we can blame his idiocy and irresponsibility for bringing Jason back from the dead via electrocution and letting him claim a body count of 18, the highest ever for a Friday the 13th picture so far.

The killings are routine as ever, and the characters remain dumb as ever. The counselors don't look qualified to run a summer camp. Who in his right mind wants to reopen the camp at Crystal Lake after five separate series of brutal murders over a 29-year period? Because Jason is too much of a pussy to kill children, I've lost a lot of respect for him.

All in all, although it's leaner and more refined, Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives is still the same bullshit with Jason transforming into a supernatural, unstoppable lethal killing machine.
