What about Gremlins? (For the record, they both qualify.) And what about horror movies? Can a movie designed to frighten and disturb you really embody the holiday spirit? Well, with its focus on family, friends, and a mysterious man sneaking into a house to give gifts in the form of bloody murders, I say Black Christmas certainly qualifies as a film fit for holiday consumption.

It is a story about Eric Draven, but it is just as much a story about the actor who brought him to life, Brandon Lee.

This film is definitely a modernized reimagining of the series and characters, but is it any good? Does it feel like a Friday the 13th movie or is it just a part of the Voorhees legacy in name only?

2017-10-1147 minThe Last TheaterJason X – Podcast Episode 13Where do horror franchises go when they run out of good ideas? Apparently they go to outer space. Although, a slasher movie on a spaceship isn’t the worst idea. The potential for claustrophobic tension built in endlessly twisting corridors with no escape is pretty great. It’s been done previously, and it’s been done well. Does Jason X deserve to be in the same sentence as some of the great sci-fi horror movies like Alien? You probably already know the answer to that, but it could still be campy fun, right?

That seems entirely appropriate given that Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday barely feels like a Friday the 13th movie at all. Instead, this is a movie about magic and body swapping that invents all sorts of new things about the character they call Jason Voorhees despite the fact that Jason is barely in the movie at all.

Sure, Jason Voorhees winds up in New York City for a portion of the movie, but the majority of the film (and murder) takes place on a cruise ship.

Unfortunately for the people of Camp Forest Green (formerly Camp Crystal Lake), Tommy screws up in a major way and brings the man behind the mask, Jason Voorhees, back from his grave. Friday the 13th Part VI is the debut of zombie-Jason, and he brings some very obvious comedy to the series in a way the movies haven’t really attempted before.

For one thing, this movie features the debut of the iconic hockey mask.
