Here again, a terrible sequel. But again, one I enjoy despite its every attempt to fail. Entertaining in the basest way.

The first appearance of Kane Hodder as Jason. Still better than it gets credit for, but not one I enjoy all that much.

I know this one is bad, I know that. And yet I can't help but enjoy it. I get a kick out of the fact that people show up to die independent of the plot. Plus, it is the birth of zombie Jason!

Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (1985)

Speaking as a fan, I find this to be the second worst of the entire franchise; second to the deplorable Jason Goes to Hell. Unbearable characters, shitty directing and photography, an the ending is painfully facepalm-inducing. If it weren't for the dark, surprisingly adept performance of John Shepherd as grownup Tommy Jarvis, this would be a totally worthless entry.
