Comments: Jesus fucking Christ. I was watching Mythbusters the other day, and they were testing a myth from Jason X, where Jason dips this chick's head into liquid nitrogen and the smashes her face. That gave me the urge to watch the film, which is one of the last few Friday the 13th films that I haven't seen. And what a horrible mess it is. Everything about Jason X feels like a horrible SciFi (er, I mean SyFy) film. The acting, the sets, the incredibly horrid score - it's as though Kane Hodder stepped onto the wrong set and they just decided to go with it. While the concept of Jason in space is awful, the creators could have at least made a fun film (the only funny part was the simulation where Jason was beating one chick in a sleeping bag with another chick in a sleeping bag - "we love premarital sex!"). Unfortunately, we're treated to complete cinematic drivel (has Sean Cunnigham seen Leprechaun 4: In Space too many times?). At least they brought in Freddy Krueger for the next film. But anyway, your time is better spent elsewhere. But you knew that already.
