- Gory return of a series that could only offer a repetition of its previous killings, poverty-stricken in imagination and everything else.

  average
  
  Fairly ok but suffers from poor and predictable script, and lack of jason at times. Good in parts and certainly not the worst in the series.

  Dated!
  
  Not particularly scary & really dated. However, worth to watch it mostly to see how the old classsic horrors used to be.

  The last decent one before they went down hill
  
  For me this is one of the better sequels. I enjoyed this film a lot and it is well worth watching.

  This film is almost as funny as the previous one. Its so dated but you have to love it. A little bit of mystery in this film. Really good film however.
