Though not impressed with the iconic Friday 13th franchise I've not found any of the films "Bad" up until now. New Beginning however has sadly changed that.
Following on from 1984's Final Chapter we see Tommy Jarvis all grown up and loonier than a loony toon on the looniest day of their life with an electrified looney machine! Traumatised by his butchering Jason 10yrs before he is now in a home for similar mentally broken individuals and as you can imagine they start getting picked off one by one.
The movie teases a twist, doesn't deliver but then tacts it on the end anyway for good measure and it simply doesn't work.
Know what else doesn't work? The film! After Final Chapters competent delivery and excellent death sequences this feels like a huge step backwards. I'm not sure if the budget was cut, the director was poor or they just couldn't be bothered anymore 5 movies in but this was granny pants.
The Good:
Follows directly on from the events of Final Chapter
Couple of decent characters
The Bad:
Death scenes have taken a step backwards
Film simply isn't very good
Ending is really bad
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
When a movie advertises itself as a final chapter, maybe they should stick to their word
It really doesn't take much to make you snap and become mask wearing machete swinging serial killer
