Friday The 13th Part III - 1/2 star

I saw the first “Friday The 13th” picture and was left feeling incredibly bored but “Friday The 13th Part III” is somehow even worse. Originally shown in 3D (that accounts for the weird angles where it looks like everything is sticking out of the screen) and the first film in the franchise to feature the iconic hockey mask, “Friday The 13th Part III” is a whole new dimension of dullness.

In this film, more drug-taking, sex-obsessed and irritating teens find themselves being hacked up by Jason Voorhees. There isn’t much to the plot besides the hacking up of teens but then these slasher films never really did understand how to handle things such as the plot. Let’s just say the plot is more or less the same as any entry in the “Halloween”, “A Nightmare On Elm Street” and of course “Friday The 13th” franchises.

Jason Voorhees kills and he kills in a lot of different ways. He crushes people’s skulls, he slits their throats, he uses machetes, harpoons and he’d probably kill somebody with a bike pump if he got his hands on one. At the same time manages to take repeated blows to the head from just about everything. He’s not much for conversation but at least he’s not as irritating as the teens he murders.

“Friday The 13th Part III” would be best if used by school teachers to teach kids to stay away from drug and sex-fuelled lifestyles because it might mean you get sliced by a serial killer (or even worse, you might star in a “Friday The 13th” film). I bet if you took a bunch of friends to a campsite to make a horror movie over a weekend, you’d probably make something more entertaining than “Friday The 13th Part III”. Maybe it’s better if you saw it in 3D (along with “Jaws 3” in 3D too).
