“Jason X” (2002) – Earthbound Horror Goes Cosmic!

Very enjoyable, further adventure of hockey mask wearing, unstoppable serial butcher, Jason Vorhees. Jason is being studied at a government facility in the 21st century. After some murderous mayhem, he is cryogenically frozen along with one of the doctors studying him. Flash forward to the 25th century where another research team find the two iced over specimens and take them aboard their vehicle and rocket off back to their space habitat. Eventually the doctor is revived and warns that it is best to leave Jason on ice as once he is active, all proverbial Hell will break loose. Accidents happen and Jason comes back to life and starts systematically murdering whoever he comes into contact with. You know the story.

Interesting reconfiguring of the death defying Beast in a new environment, namely, The Future, and the application of science fiction concepts of nanobots, virtual reality and high tech havoc raising.

“Friday The 13th Part 3” (1982) – Watch out or Jason will poke your eye out

Three dimensional film effects highlight the hijinx in the continuing adventures of slasher Jason Vorhees. The filmmakers trot out a new batch of interchangeable teen characters and proceed to have Jason creatively dispatch them in novel ways. It all becomes tedious and nauseating before long as objects like spears and knives thrust into the camera on their way to impaling and destroying said teens.

Jason himself receives a machete to the cranium but never fear, he cannot die and his useless spirit continues on for at least seven more film adventures. Similar in nature to the “Halloween” franchise that lumbers on to this day with its equally unstoppable central character.
