Danny Steinmann's Friday the 13th: A New Beginning

by Mike_Bracken Mike_Bracken is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Nov 06 '00
Pros: Sleazy gory fun
Cons: not exactly high art, as witnessed through the flat acting, formulaic script, and unsubtle direction
Friday the 13th: A New Beginning: Paramount Pictures
Rating: USA: R/ UK: 18/ Australia: R

In 1984, Paramount gave us Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, a film that supposedly would wrap up the popular slasher...

FRIDAY THE 13TH V: A NEW BEGINNING - New beginning, bad movie

by desslok desslok is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, , Jun 07 '08
Pros: One really good and unexpected death!
Cons: The rest of the movie bites.
And so here it is, 1985, and paramount found themselves in a bind. Their famous masked psycho killer was just about as dead as you could possibly be, having had his head cleaved in two by a machete, and then hacked to pieces by an enraged Corey Feldman. ...

The Low Point Of The Series

by JiggyJay Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Oct 13 '03
Pros: zip
Cons: everything
There are many bad movies in the Friday The 13th series, but none (besides Jason Takes Manhattan) are more stupider than Friday The 13th: A New Beginning. This is the worst of the worst and way too experimental. You can tell that the ...

"A New Beginning": Better Than The Real Beginning

by dbcint , Sep 27 '05
Pros: Blood, mystery, acting, fresh idea
Cons: Universally hated for no good reason
Jason Voorhees is one of the biggest slasher icons in cinema history. It doesn’t matter if you’ve seen any of his movies, most people at least know the very basics. Jason Voorhees. Guy in hockey mask. Kills people. Many sequels. At the ...

You Can't Keep a Good Psycho Killer Down

by KingpinLJC , Sep 11 '09
Pros: see below
Cons: see below
Jason took a machete through the head at the end of The Final Chapter, an indicator the series should indeed be coming to a close. On the flip side, the introduction of Tommy Jarvis offered the opportunity to develop a whole new character, not to ...

If Jason Still Haunts You... You're Not Alone

by head-driller , Jun 14 '06
Pros: Lots of slasher mayhem, what more could you want?
Cons: If you hate slasher movies you'll definitely hate this.
The Friday The 13th series, along with A Nightmare On Elm Street, took the popular slasher sub-genre by storm in the 1980s, with a series of sequels that quickly followed the previous installment, and each sequel featuring the saga's misanthropic mass ...

A new beginning to the final chapter

by musicc , Jun 03 '06
Pros: very bloody, different angle, more of a mystery
Cons: Most characters are dumb
I rented this because I’m interested in seeing all the movies in the series. This film receives lots of bad ratings and is looked upon as one of the worst films in the series. I decided to see it anyways and I didn’t think it was too bad. Plot ...

I would rather see THE END than witness A New Beginning.

by shadow8 , Jun 04 '00
Pros: Debisue Voorhees is sexy; there are also some creative murder scenes.
Cons: Let me see…a vapid plot, overacting, ridiculous characters, awful performances, pointless violence, pointless boredom, and much, much more.
It is “a new beginning.” Jason Voorhees is back! He is out to wreck divine retribution on all the naïve teenagers who engage in the following activities: Having sex, drinking, smoking, going to dark places, saying “I’ll be back,” causing trouble,...

"Friday the 13TH Part V: A New Beginning"

by matt2050 , Oct 23 '01
Pros: Good n' gory f/x; cool chase scenes; an ending that throws you for a loop
Cons: Butchered for an "R" rating
"Friday the 13TH" has long been hailed as one of the first
slasher films. Slasher films are usually about a faceless
killer slicing his or her way through a dozen or so teens
until he or she meets their death at the hands of the hero ...

Jason or pseudo-Jason?

by Andrew_Hicks Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Mar 31 '00
Pros: If you like bad slasher movies, you'll love this
Cons: It is a really bad slasher movie
Maybe it was the excess testosterone, but I went through a brief Friday the 13th phase around the age of 15, after watching the first two movies back-to-back for the first time. There was something about the bad acting, horrific violence and...

Friday The 13th Part V: A New Beginning

by brodieman , May 23 '01
Pros: There are worse slasher movies out there....
Cons: ....but not many
After the relatively (that's RELATIVELY!) watchable Final Chapter, Friday 5 is not so much a step in the obvious direction (a Savini-inspired "Hey can you top this?" gross out would be a good idea) but more like five steps backwards into the lake. It is,...

Friday the 13th part V

by moviebuff88 , Sep 24 '05
Pros: T&A, good gore scenes, great acting.
Cons: A little predictable.
I own this movie, because I bought it at the Flea Market, for three bucks, it was cheap so I bought it. It had been a while since I had seen, so I went home and watched it, and I said to myself, "this is pretty good." I liked it because its like a ...

We dont want New, We want Original Jason!

by Augdawg , Sep 30 '00
Pros: I thought this was a Friday the 13th sequel?
Cons: Very, Very, Very, Poor Idea!
It is a sad thing to say, but there is always a bad movie in any set of movies. In the Friday the 13th series, this is the bad one. The only thing going on in the plot that makes this movie watchable is the fact that the character of Tommy returns as...

Friday 5: Jason takes a Vacation

by evilghost , May 04 '00
Pros: highest body count in the series
Cons: no Jason
When someone says Friday the 13th, I immediately think Jason. So when they make a Friday the 13th film and not even have Jason in it, there's a problem. I'm not one for stepping on toes here, but a Friday without Jason is like a Nightmare without...

Only a little better than Part 8

by fattyjoe37 , Mar 16 '01
Pros: some nudity and blood
Cons: stupid, one of the worst movies ever
After the ultimate slasher in Part 4, the F13 series just couldn't decide where to go.
In this entry, Tommy Jarvis,Part 4's hero, is sent to a halfway house. As soon as he arrives, murders begin to happen in a very Jason-like fashion. Has Tommy...
