That motherfucker Jason just won't stay down. This one is actually my favorite of the series because it feels like an iconic '80s movie, right down to the soundtrack featuring Alice Cooper. They've got this formula down to a science at this point. There's even a Bond-esque opening sequence, as if Jason is the hero of this franchise. It's fun and self-aware and embraces the stupidity of the genre, which I find charming.
Again, the MPAA neuters some of the sequences which would easily fly today. I always find it weird how violence became more commonplace in movies, while sex became more taboo.
