Amazon.com video review:
The tender, tragic saga of Jason Vorhees,
the world's unhappiest camper, continues when yet another batch of
hormonally advanced teens decide to ignore past history and spend some
time at the woodsy, pine-scented slaughterhouse known as Camp Crystal
Lake. It may be a bit of a stretch to describe any of the entries in
this interminable series as "good," but this creatively grotesque
installment manages to come surprisingly close with a welcome sense of
humor and some quick glimmers of real menace (courtesy of director
Steve Miner, who would later go on to helm the far more accomplished
Halloween: H20). Originally presented in 3-D, which explains
the never-ending slew of objects (knives, pitchforks, yo-yos, cats,
eyeballs, etc.) that are repeatedly thrust in the viewer's general
direction. --Andrew Wright
