    A witty parody of a James Bond credits sequence immediately sets the tone for director Tom McLoughlin's slick and exuberant Jason sequel. Cleverly mining the undercurrent of humour inherent in the gory series, McLoughlin makes sure Jason's roller coaster tracks are well-oiled and run smoothly in this vigorous, vivid and creepy instalment. When Tommy Jarvis (Thom Mathews) digs up his grave to prove Jason's really dead, a bolt of lightning hits the corpse and turns it into a zombie. Cue inventive deaths galore and textbook scares that still elicit a shiver or two.

    • Radio Times
  • Tedious re-run of previous movies in the series without even a hint of originality to be discovered.

    The best of the worst!

    Well he's back the man behind the mask,jason voorhees is back,and he's bigger badder and meaner than ever,and dont we know it.

    Somebody actually wrote a decent script for this movie and the director Tom Mcloughlin(director of creepy horror movie mausoleum) cared enough about the direction of this to make it stand out,even though its 20yrs old its still better than any of the later sequels and some earlier ones,with lots of violence some gore and enough menace to have me hiding under the bed,this works to a T.

    with some cool set pieces of action,and great lighting,the stand out piece is jason in the rv and standing on it after the crash,eerie well lit and jason serveying his domain like he owns it.

    this came out in 1986 it took 2yrs before it hit the video shops i used to have them all in big rental boxes the art work has changed again,and only the theatrical trailer as xtras,what about the Alice Cooper video,yes the song at the end is sung by Alice Cooper,the makers cared enough to have a song for this film too,so wheres the video,doh

    just watch and enjoy its even got tony goldwyn in it he's the bad guy in ghost.

    this is a definite horror franchise high enjoy!

    "Jason Lives" - yes we know, there have now been 11 of these films, I think it's safe to say Jason is very much alive, and that's the problem, you just know that at the end he'll "die" only to be brought back in the next one by yet another well-placed bolt of lightening. If you like seeing teenagers with big hair killed, then go for this (and i do wonder if there are still any youngsters left in America with all these serial killers on the loose), if not at least go for Freddy vs Jason, Freddy at least adds some much needed humour.
