User Review
Big, dumb and stoopid, but fun
Rating: 5/10
Let's face it, if you're going to rent one of the later movies in a
slasher movie series, you'd be an idiot to expect high art. The fact
that this is the tenth movie in the Friday the 13th franchise, the most
knuckle-draggingly, ball-scratchingly cretinous 'horror' series of all
time AND it's set in space doesn't exactly suggest that this'll be an
all-time classic, but it's a good fun way to kill an hour and thirty
minutes nonetheless.
Okay, the plot is so thin even a slight breeze would make it
disintegrate and the horror element is practically non-existent but
then Jason movies abandoned that long ago in favour of just providing
dumb escapism with inventive and bloody death scenes, which this film
certainly provides. People are sliced in half, impaled on large spikes,
blown up, one poor woman even getting her head dunked in liquid
nitrogen and shattered on a desk, but the characters are so
one-dimensional and it's so cheesy you're more likely to laugh than
scream. And I defy you to watch the scene when Jason gets transformed
into 'Uber Jason' for the first time and not have a colossal grin
traverse your face. There's even a later scene which pokes fun at the
earlier movie's clichés with a hilarious "beating one camper to death
with the other" sequence.
This is not The Exorcist, it's not The Omen, it's even a very long way
away from the original Friday The 13th, but as director James Isaac has
said, "it's just fun." Get your mates round, pop open a beer, disengage
brain and you've got a very entertaining ninety minutes.
