TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Sam Panico Presenting the scummiest, vilest Friday of them all - a film packed with more kills (22!), more nudity and more drugs behind the scenes than several of the other films combined!Years after killing off Jason, Tommy Jarvis has nightmares that the man he killed has returned. That's why he's in Pinehurst Halfway House, where Pam Roberts and Dr. Matt Letter (Richard Young, who gives young Indy his fedora in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade) are trying to help him to get over his violent past and the death of his mother.But are there a bunch of teens to get killed? Sure there are. There's Reggie, Tommy's roomate whose grandfather George works there as a cook. Plus, we have Robin (Juliette Cummins, Slumber Party Massacre 2), Violet (Tiffany Helm, O.C. & Stiggs, Reform School Girls), Jake, Vic (Suicide from Return of the Living Dead), Joey, Eddie and Tina (Debi Sue Voorhees, no relation). There's also rich neighbors Ethel Hubbard and Junior, who want the halfway house closed down.What follows is a bit of a mystery movie, at least for a bit. Is one of the kids the killer, like Vic, or has Jason come back from the dead? Even the end of the movie leaves that up in the air, to be honest. It's kind of a mess, but along the way there's a ton of blood and gore.Danny Steinmann is the director here, perhaps better known for The Unseen and Savage Streets. Well, maybe not by most people, but by me? Of course. He also broke into movies by directing and writing the adult film High Rise and probably would have created more films in the Friday the 13th saga, but a bicycling accident and long recovery meant that this would be the last film that he would direct. The working title for this film was Repetition. So what happens after this? Well, what do you think?

Stevieboy666 As a life long Friday the 13th fan, having watched all of the movies numerous times, I believe that the first four are by far the best & that from this point they did go down hill. However this is an interesting entry because - spoiler alert - Jason is not actually the killer (apart from a dream sequence). Although the gore has been toned down (MPAA, I believe), this one does move at a fast pace with killings coming thick & fast. Plenty of boobs on show for the lads too. I can not being too impressed with this entry when it came out on VHS back in the day but with repeated viewings on DVD it has grown on me, 7/10.

ivo-cobra8 Friday the 13th: A New Beginning is very underrated and a really good horror film. It is my sixth favorite Friday the 13th film. It grew on me Friday the 13th Part III 3D and this one really grow on me and they become my favorite films. I am big Friday the 13th Fan and I love mostly of the films. This is the good movie. I know it get's a lot of hate because it doesn't have a Jason in it, but Tom Morga who played the hockey-masked killer was fantastic. It has good kill's and it is really my favorite 80's horror film. This movie reminds me on The Blob (1988) the diner scene my favorite horror sci-fi film.I love this film this time around the fourth time in the row it become guilty pleasure of mine. Melanie Kinnaman was a good bad-ass heroine, she was good and her performance was decent. The dinner scene was a fantastic death scene. Rebecca Wood as Lana was a good victim and I like the death kill. When the killer beheaded that biker guy Junior it was a good kill I like it. Tom Morga was a fantastic hockey-masked killer. Juliette Cummins as Robin was a hot great sexy babe. I like her as a victim. I like this film it is an alright slasher film not that bad. Danny Steinmann R.I.P. who is no longer with us anymore. I respect Mr. Danny Steinmann and his vision of the movie what he was trying to do. Please my remorse goes to his family and rest in peace Danny you are really missed. You have my respect Danny Steinmann you were great director and your direction of this movie was solid and your writing ability for the screenplay was talented. Melanie Kinnaman as the blond Pam was good excellent heroin I loved her. I love that in this movie the hockey mask design in this movie fro the killer was blue. I love in which Pam fights off The Killer with a chainsaw really awesome climatic battle fight scene. I have enjoy this film and however I feel now it is better then Friday the 13th Part 2 because the killer wasn't so clumsy and the chainsaw worked in this movie. Just like the first movie it ravels about revenge. In the original film is Mrs. Voorhees and this movie has Roy paramedic the killer. I still love Part 2 to death but it does have confusing plot. Friday the 13th: A New Beginning grew on me and I didn't thought it was horrible. I still don't like John Shepard as Tommy Jarvis but the movie more revolves around Pam and Reggie which I like. It is a good horror film. A 10/10

angiris Title says it all. Now I'll explain why. 1st of all. Spoiler alert after 32 years. Jason is not even in the f###ing. His mother isn't here either. Only a dude who imitates him. Now. The 1st review I saw on this site said its the best of the Friday movies. Majority of up-votes too. Are people insane? Or have the worst taste and understanding of this franchise? The MAIN CHARACTER IN THE FRANCHISE NEXT TO HIS MOTHER.... IS NOT HERE. Its like making a movie about Dracula...WITHOUT Dracula. making a movie about aliens from mars. AND NEVER SEE ALIENS!I truly don't understand whats happening here. The apologists, the over-thinkers, the mad fanboys. The throwbacks to the original is the most lazy, insulting crap I've seen since I decided to watch Rob Zombies Halloween sequel, although I was avoiding it for years for good reason. In the 1st movie we didn't know who the killer was. That was scary, the kills were well done, showing a lot, satisfying gore wise and not quickly finished either. Well balanced and executed. In this film they try to copy the stealth things, but utterly FAIL doing so because: 1: The kills are super fast. 2: The kills aren't even properly shown. 3: Our non-supernatural killer acts the same way as Jason himself acts by appearing everywhere. THis is bullsh#t for so many reasons and non-sensical lore-wise. 4: We don't have a main character in this movie. There are huge sections of the film where Tommy Jarvis is just straight up missing. And he barely says anything the ENTIRE film. Nr 5: Kills happen that we Don't see. Multiple times. Why is this? haven't we gotten used to seeing them? Especially in the 2nd movie and 3rd. This film annoyed me. But what straight up gave me a migraine was seeing reviews on IMDb giving this a 8-9-10 and calling it the best ever. Is there a special edition I don't know about? Did we see the same movie? Was there some kind of directorial cut where it was ACTUALLY JASON IN THE FILM.... and not poor little paramedic dude who lost his fat kid that we didn't care about AT ALL because he literally had like 2 scenes before he died where he said something like 5 lines. Are people serious? This isn't just bad taste. This is downright dishonest reviews. Bottomline is this. Say what you will. But no matter your arguments... this is not Friday the 13th. For 2 big reasons. Nr. 1: Friday movies concern the date itself. Jason appears on his birthday. This is iconic. Nr. 2: Jason isn't even in the film. Only a dream sequence that doesn't matter because he's DEAD. he has been in a god damn grave the ENTIRE FILM. And furthermore. What makes you wonder things the entire film, is why the hell Jason would leave crystal lake, and murder people just because, randomly, all over, no connection, nada. We have seen this happen before. In highly criticized movies like Jason takes Manhattan. Or Jason goes to hell. It wasn't a good idea with this movie, nor with those. But that's beside the points mentioned above that weigh in the most. Say what you will people. I call bull#### on your reviews after having seen this film. Thank god the score itself depicts this film as below average regardless of the fanboy reviews. Because that is exactly what this insulting garbage is. Thank god part 6 brought us a repair of the Tommy character, making him strong, likable, courageous and determined. Instead of a spineless, confused, damaged and borderline USELESS character that we got in this film. Still not convinced? let me elaborate on the discussion between the producer, director and writer regarding this film's creation. "Hey guys. I have this amazing idea. Get this, okay? You ready?... Right. Lets make a Friday the 13th movie... BUT WITHOUT JASON :D! Doesn't that sound BRILLIANT?! We'll make it more like the 1st movie, except not show a lotta blood and death scenes. Oh. And we'll throw in an annoying, out of place kid ! " "But, who's gonna be our killer, man? No Jason? ""Get this, right?. Okay. Our killer... is gonna look almost the same as Jason, but instead be a disgruntled paramedic that had his fat son killed for some whatever reason by a dude with an axe in a lunatic asylum in the middle of nowhere!!! Isn't that great ?!" I'm so done. 3 out of 10. Worst movie that DARES call itself a Friday movie. And to the reviewers on here. I'm gonna choose to believe your reviews are bought and paid for. Because its easier to comprehend corruption, than the possibility that you actually enjoy this level of insulting crap writing and poor, copy and paste cinematography, plus steering a franchise in a direction where its OKAY TO REMOVE THE MAIN CHARACTER AFTER 5 FILMS!WTF, people... just.... What the F.Edit: I almost forgot. Whoever thought it was a good idea to throw in a redneck half-wit screaming idiot who serves NO OTHER PURPOSE than to make us wish for him to die, as well as his mother, deserves an award. He spends around 3-4 minutes without any cuts, screaming whilst driving around on his bike, screaming at his mother because Jarvis beat him up. Its more retarded than the worst chainsaw massacre scene with Rene Zellweger. It's the most annoying, horrific, mentally incompetent, loathsome family I've ever seen in movie history. It was like chainsaw massacre, but with an IQ of 30 on happy-pills. It was annoying in a way that redefined the definition.
