As far as I'm concerned Jason should have stayed dead and buried until 1986 when Tom McLoughlin gave us one of the best films in this roller coaster of a franchise. After four films the fifth decided to present us with a new beginning of the franchise... by doing exactly what the previous films did only with inferior results. If I recall correctly A new beginning actually has the highest body count of any film in the franchise, this is apparently because some of the higher ups felt that there should be a scare of some sort every few minutes. This results in most of the death scenes feeling incredibly rushed and put together haphazardly in the name of exploitation. Obviously the previous films were made with similar intent, but for my money they were better in nearly every aspect. With so many kills all back to back the tension of Jason being on screen is quickly diminished. It doesn't help that he is killing off some of the worst characters in slasher movie history. Thank god most of them die because I never want to see them again. Even Tommy Jarvis, who is meant to be our heroine in this film, is horribly acted and not at all convincing. The film's ending only makes these problems even worse. I suppose I shouldn't spoil it but rest assured you will be disappointed. Perhaps the biggest sin is that with a better written movie with more convincing characters such an ending could have been very effective. I would hope that no innocent man, woman, child or pet goldfish would ever watch this film with any expectations whatsoever. But what bothers me more so than the film itself is that I've hear some call it a hidden gem, a film so horrendous that it is actually entertaining. I call it trash.

I'll be honest, this film gets a 2 simply because some of the scenes are so horrendous they can be enjoyed in a so bad its good way. That is not an endorsement of this films horrid writing by any stretch. In fact I would ask that anyone who considers themselves even a casual fan of this franchise pretend that Freddy's dead doesn't exist. Yes it is that bad. This film makes a mockery of Freddy Kruger and his fans. Here he is reduced to a strangely comic villain instead of being an evil serial killer. Would you like to see Freddy kill a teenager with the power glove? If so then this is the film for you. But I suspect that most of you will be taken aback by that revelation. For the love of god don't watch this piece of **** it will haunt you for the rest of your life.

Batman forever does its best to right the wrongs of the last film (at least in the studio's eyes) but in the end it created what is the least offensive and extremely dull comic book film of the era. The more comedic tone and family oriented atmosphere is rather off putting when one considers the relative success of the previous installments. Jim Carrey has an amazing performance as Edward Nygma, and even Tommy Lee Jones has his moments, but in the end Joel Schumacher is simply not the director that Tim Burton is, regardless of the latter's mixed output.

Michael Keaton manages to make an unnecessary and rather forgettable sequel into something far more entertaining than it has any right to be. It's a shame that his fellow costars didn't do the same.

Batman and Robin is the perfect example of how not to make a comic book film. This film is so horrendous that it enraged not only hardcore fans of the caped crusader, but the entire human race.

Tim Burton's Batman may have established both Batman and the superhero genre as mainstream blockbusters, but the dark knight is the film that perfected superhero cinema. The Dark Knight is a rare example of a film that manages to stray a little from the source material but still be just as effective as the stories it is based on. The Dark Knight proves that Batman and the Joker are timeless characters that we as a society may never forget. LETS PUT A SMILE ON THAT FACE!

The Disaster Artist is one of the most memorable comedies in years. Fans and those familiar with the room will find an enjoyable and rather informing tale of ultimate failure. Best of all, the disaster artist has lines that are arguably just as memeable as the original film.

Brightburn manages to deliver on its amazing premise and adds a few twists and turns that make the film even more disturbing. With great gore and psychological scares Brightburn is one of the best horror films of the year thus far.

Friday the 13th part III hasn't aged nearly as well as it could have without it's gimmicky 3D effects, but it still manages to be one of the most iconic films in the franchise not only because of the introduction of Jason's infamous hockey mask, but because of it's fun atmosphere. Do not take this film or any other slasher film seriously (for the most part). Although I will say that the film's reliance on cliches can often be downright annoying.

Olympus has fallen is a offensively average action film that never uses it's star power to its advantage. Although this film can be mildly entertaining, in the end it is nothing more than another mindless action film.

There are few films as genuinely entertaining as Stuart Gordon's lose adaptation of H.P Lovecraft's famous serial. Thankfully, Gordon makes the story his own and the film ultimately becomes more of a tribute to the tale rather than a adaptation. Re-Animator is campy, and it revels in it.

Jason Lives may be the sixth entry in the series, but that doesn't stop it from being one of the best, with self aware humor, likable characters, and memorable deaths, this is one of the best slasher films from the 1980s

Friday the 13th may have started one of the longest running franchises in horror history, but it unfortunately has not aged nearly as well as the films that followed.

Halloween the curse of Michael Myers is so **** that the studio was forced to drastically overhaul it before its theatrical release, but that didn't help things much. Both versions of this atrocity are quite simply disrespectful to the work that John Carpenter and co. put into the original classic. Do not watch this film under any circumstances. It is dreadful.

Avengers Endgame will go down in history as one of the best comic book films of all time. The film is both amazing fan service and a satisfying end to the MCU's long overarching plot.

An underrated sequel that makes an amicable attempt to recapture the same magic that made the original so famous, and although it may have ultimately failed, it is still an entertaining slasher flick.

Gone is the subtly of the 1979 classic, Now we have a film that attempts to be nightmare fuel with nothing but excessive jump scares. Quite possibly one of the worst remakes/reboots of all time.

This Movie is **** and I refuse to put more effort into my review than Michael Bay did in making it.

Pet Semetary II manages to be both one of the worst sequels of all time and one of the most unnecessary. It's great fodder for late night marathons of horrible films, but has little entertainment value on it's own.

An amazing performance from Fred Gwynne can't save this film. The screenplay may have been written by the master himself but this film misses the entire point of King's novel by turning it into nothing more than a generic zombie film.

A classic horror film that is absolutely nothing like the imitators. A Nightmare on Elm street is one of the most inventive horror films in history. Best of all, its actually scary without excessive jump scares.

A few minor mistakes doesn't stop Pet Semetary's successful attempt to be slightly more faithful to the novel and all new at the same time.

Don't listen to the village idiots of the internet, Captain Marvel is a fun addition to the MCU that will surely please both fans of the films and the source material.

Happy death day tries desperately to be a modern day scream,a and while it is nowhere near as good as Wes Craven's classic, it is still a fun ride that most slasher fans will find amusing.

Into the Spider-Verse is a real treat. An animated, family friendly film that manages to please general audiences and hardcore comic fans at the same time. All carried by a unique comic like animation style that puts the film in a league of its own.

Thought provoking and at times downright hilarious, Blackkkalnsman is the picture that modern audiences are in desperate need of, one that above all has an impact on its viewers.

The Last Airbender will go down in history as one of the worst adaptations of all time. A truly unforgettable series is butchered in pure Hollywood fashion.

One of the prime examples of classic "educational" film making. Reefer madness is one of the most horrendous film's ever created. It also somehow manages to be one of the few horrible films that isn't entertaining when being mocked.

The room is somehow one of the worst films of all time and ridiculously entertaining due to its awkward acting and downright horrendous script. Watch this with a group of friends if at all possible. You'll enjoy it for all the wrong reasons.

If you have somehow managed to avoid seeing this landmark film don't worry, it has aged like a fine wine. In contrast to modern slashers that are pure exploration Halloween features a slow and more methodical killer that still eerily enjoys his craft.

A fun Lovecraftian romp through an apocalyptic disaster that is both exciting and suspenseful.
