5/10Still to this day, the entry with the creepiest looking Jason. _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._

6/10Decided to get in one more Friday the 13th movie and this one reminded me why it's not high on my list in the series, though I liked portions of it, just nothing involving Shelly and watching it in 2D, the shots made for 3D are pretty annoying. I will say, I did like the lead actress and I'm a fan of the hockey mask Jason. **3.0/5**
