Friday The 13th Part III - How do the writers keep it so fresh, time after time?

In the original Friday 13th, you had a bunch of horny teenagers in the woods being stalked and killed. Whereas in the second part, you had a bunch of horny teenagers in the woods being stalked and killed. Now (and wait for it) you have part III, where a bunch of horny teenagers are in the woods being stalked and killed. I can’t wait to see what part IV has to offer!

So, is it any good? Well... if you liked the first two it is, as it’s basically the same movie (again). However, if you didn’t like the first couple then this one won’t win over any new fans. It’s not violent enough to compete with today’s slasher offerings, so it might seem a little tame to today’s youth.

At least Jason finally dons his infamous hockey mask, making him look more like the killer we’re eventually going to love (well, recognise anyway).

5/10 a hard trek, a bit like unicycling to Mordor and back
