Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning (1985)


We flash forward 5 years and Tommy Jarvis (survivor of Part IV) has been in and out of mental institutions. Despite Jason seemingly meeting his end last time, the killings start up again. This one is more violent than ever (the body count is in the 20s), even though the MPAA toned it down so much that they ended up cutting most of the gore out of it.
This installment is ranked as one of the least favorites among fans for reasons I won't spoil, but you have to give them credit for attempting to break out of the mold.
