Are YOU having a Tommy Jarvis moment?
Dear Horror Fans,
Are you suffering mental brake down from being Corey Feldman as a child?
Are you haunted by a serial killer that killed your whole family(and your dog)?
Do you carry around random masks to each halfway house/mental institution you visit?
Do you like to dig up graves just to mutilate the corpse because you have Jason issues?
Do you kiss with your eyes open? (extremely rude if you ask me!)
If you answered yes to any of these questions you maybe Tommy Jarvis.... Sniveling little puke that has plagued not one but three Friday the 13th movies. At the end of Jason V they hint at Tommy picking up where Jason left off and hence becoming the new "Jason". When he is in the hospital and finds the (ahem, wrong) hockey mask in the dresser only to put it on and crash out the glass window letting the credits roll.
Cut to a few years later(now the beginning of Jason Lives) Tommy Jarvis and his friend ,friggin Horshack, are driving out the the cemetery where Jason is buried to you guessed it. Dig up Jason! (super smart plan there Tommy) Once they open the casket Tommy has one of his moments and starts to stab the corpse with a metal spike. (during a thunder storm) Lightning hits the pole and reanimates Jason.(nice friekin' play, Shakespeare)
The town of crystal lake has apparently moved on and changed there name to Forest Green and are opening the camp again. fulled with the usual camp staff but this time 90's style complete with crimped hair, sweat pants and suspenders for that classic camel toe look. Little do they know that Jason is coming back.
Now this Film takes a different formula than the other classic films where you have the teens away from any adult that can possibly help them. Here they have adults to help, well in the last half of the movie they do. Not only that but we have a few characters that you can feel an attachment to and don't want to see die. (but if they have to die you want it to be EPIC)
The movie defiantly had a great feel as well and a good story progression. It tried to be a little but more comical than the other movies but still hold true to the mythology that was set down by the first four movies. I will say go ahead and watch it, perfect end of summer, date movie, or first time horror flick.
