Comments: I know the first thing I would do after a handful of teens were unmercifully slaughtered by a crazed maniac the police haven't caught yet is go to a cabin with my teen friends a few miles down the road. And that's what the cast of Friday the 13th Part III does, which is great for us, because they get the shit sliced out of them too! Jason apparently had some time on his hands as well, because he decided to shave his head and hit the gym, adding what looks like 50 pounds of muscle in a week since the last film. He healed up pretty damn well from the machete chop to his neck as well. However, Friday the 13th Part III delivers in terms of the "slasher" aspect of the film, which is why I enjoyed this installment. You just have to ignore the errors in logic, like at the end when the main chick is sitting in the boat, and she has a nightmare where Jason's mother comes out of the lake and attacks her. Why would she dream this? She has no prior knowledge of Jason's mother or the events of the first two films. But, the rest of the film isn't half bad, and overall it's a decent sequel for what it is. I believe I hear the fourth installment spinning up in my DVD player now...
