DarkSideOfLucca
02.06.19 | Thanks! Also check out my Nightmare one too because tbh I like that series more aha

02.06.19 | The final chapter is so good man. I still need to see 6 though. |
DarkSideOfLucca
02.06.19 | Fuck yeah dude, Final Chapter rules!
Please see Jason Lives as soon as you have beer. That’s one of my favorite drinking movies. |
wham49
02.06.19 | stupid list, final chapter is up there, but 2 is probably the best of the series, and goes to hell, is at least better than vii and manhattan |
DarkSideOfLucca
02.06.19 | I mean 2 has sort of a pudgy Jason tho, doesn't really make sense in terms of the plot, gets rid of the final girl from the first one for like no reason, etc.
I dunno, I think 4 and 6 are lightyears better, plus Betsy Palmer is far more terrifying than anything in 2.
You're prob right about Jason Goes To Hell but all 3 of those movies are kinda shit so |
ScuroFantasma
02.06.19 | Agreed the remake was good, agreed Freddy V Jason was heaps of fun. |
Gallantin
02.06.19 | Man people are way too harsh on Jason Takes Manhattan. It has some of the best kills in the entire franchise. It's a fucking riot from start to finish. |
Gallantin
02.06.19 | Part 2 is my fave tho. It has such a tight atmosphere, some really nice direction that references a lot of the style in giallo films, it's like the secret arthouse entry of the series. |
Gallantin
02.06.19 | Agreed Goes to Hell is the worst tho. Jason is barely in the film at all, all the kills are boring as fuck, and it's the only one in the series that felt tedious to watch. |
Divaman
02.06.19 | Re #4 - Why? Why. |
BAT
02.06.19 | nice ranking, i gotta give the top spot to the final chapter thoo. i stilll haven't fully seen the remake buuut couldve been worse i suppose. surprised 3's kinda low, thats like the first 'tru' jason movie, aside from the fact he just gets pushed over by the heroine. 100% agreed that jason goes to hell is the worst, my joke is that it wouldve made for a better anime. annnd yeah much like elm street 2, i looove jason x, new beginning, and jason takes manhattan. i'd really love to see an extended cut of friday 2, paramount cut it up around the same time they did my bloody valentie. |
Gallantin
02.06.19 | The remake is great, don't get why people hate it. Has plenty of great references to the original series, has lots of great kills, and story-wise its amalgam of the first three films makes it thoroughly enjoyable for plot alone, whereas the originals had to stand solely on kills for entertainment. |
wham49
02.06.19 | The plot is a Down syndrome kid drowns, years later his mom kills all innocent counselors, she gets killed, the Down syndrome boy comes back from the dead as a grown man, hunts down his mothers killer, and all the others counselors from where he died,
How doesn’t a “pudgy” Jason fit in that, what? he was supposed to grow to adulthood while dead, come back from the dead, AND be ripped too, that would be missing the plot |
BAT
02.06.19 | they were on a lotta cocaine starting with friday 2, cunningham (and salvini iirc) refused to do it because the studio demanded the jason angle. also doesnt jason guard a buncha weed in the remake |
deathschool
02.06.19 | Nice Freddy vs. Jason placement. Love that movie. Pretty underrated. Honestly, it might be my favorite on this list. Idk, the Friday the 13th series just never did all that much for me in general. |
Iamthe Nightstars
02.06.19 | How is Jason Goes to Hell too dumb to be entertained by but FvJ isn't? |
Yep321
02.06.19 | Jason goes to hell is great. I dont get the hate. So much better than Freddy vs Jason, Jason X and Friday the 13th(2009) combined. |
deathschool

neekafat
02.06.19 | Dude part IV is one of the worst movies I've ever seen and Part 2 is miles better than the original
That being said, 1 is 1 |
Yep321
02.06.19 | lol buddy thinks freddy vs jason is the best.lol |
DominionMM1
02.06.19 | 1 is 1 for sure
dyk all the “new york” scenes in part 8 were actually filmed in vancouver bc |
DarkSideOfLucca
02.06.19 | @IamtheNighstars - "How is Jason Goes to Hell too dumb to be entertained by but FvJ isn't?"
Robert. Fucking. Englund. Also just seeing those two collide in one movie was INFINITELY more entertaining imo. Also, props for them for actually finding an interesting reason for them fighting. Freddy vs Jason gets a lot of shit, but I love that movie and will always defend it.
@neek - Disagreed hard on 4, man. That has some of the most badass Jason moments in the entire franchise, plus Savini + Jason for the first time ever.
@Dominion - m/
@Yep - Damn, I mean I guess different strokes for different folks but I found like a million more kills/one liners/etc that were infinitely more enjoyable in all three of those movies than in Jason Goes To Hell.
@deathschool - Fuck yeah dude m/ I would totally get why that would be someone's favorite. And yeah, this isn't my favorite series - Nightmare will always be my #1 and I'm a sucker for Halloween as well, but this is still a way more enjoyable series than I initially gave it credit for.
@Gallanton - Agreed hard man, I never understood why a Friday fan would not enjoy the remake. It has Jason at every stage, the kills are fucking awesome and I thought it was actually scarier than the majority of the series. It's a mystery to me why more fans don't love the remake. |
TheSonomaDude
02.06.19 | Part 8 is easily the worst imo. Jason X is hilarious, I love it. Part 5 is def underrated. Good list |
Divaman
02.06.19 | I like Jason X. If you ever watched the show Andromeda, it's sort of Jason vs. Andromeda - the female lead in Jason X played an android/ship's AI, and the female android from the film played the human second in command on Andromeda. |
budgie
02.06.19 | darksideoflucca more like darksideofLOSER am i right boys? hahahahaa check please! |
Gallantin
02.06.19 | How anyone can hate 8 but like 9 and 10 is beyond me. The kills in 8 elevate it so hard. |
DarkSideOfLucca
02.06.19 | budgie just DESTROYED me with FACTS and LOGIC
Gallantin - agreed hard, man
Divaman - nah man, never saw Andromeda but now I'm curious |
Rowhaus
02.06.19 | hey Lucca you should do Halloween next |
Hawks
02.06.19 | Freddy vs Jason is corny but it’s also super underrated. Love that one. |
neekafat
02.06.19 | Don't think you got to peep this but these are my opinions when I went through them all with my roommate like the Nightmare movies (:

BigPleb
02.06.19 | Series is mostly terrible.
IV and VI are the only ones worth a watch imo. |
budgie
02.06.19 | iv&vi are def the best but 1-3 are totally fun. & the 2009 remake was a solid popcorn slasher
imo imo imo |
Divaman
02.06.19 | Andromeda had a couple of good years, although the last season or two weren't good. |
Zig
02.06.19 | Jason X is so bad it's horribly hilarious. |
ConcubinaryCode
02.06.19 | Props for the remake being so high. It's super decent for what it is. It's not like a slasher flick genre is going to make a citizen Kane. |
TheNotrap
02.06.19 | Jason's mom ftw, but Michael Myers >>>>> |
neekafat
02.06.19 | IV isn't even remotely a watchable film I don't understand you guys, II is where it's at |
wham49
02.06.19 | agree neek, always thought II was the Scariest when I was younger, after that it got much more campy and humorous even in the kill scenes, II stays close to the original model of the slasher bible or more specifically Halloween,
and yes there is a citizen cane of slasher and it is HAlloween
the remake was good I thought but, newer horror or slasher flicks more specifically go for the gore factor more instead of the scare |
neekafat
02.06.19 | I actually really liked the new Halloween movie, the original never did it too much for me because the characters were all ass imo |
TheNotrap
02.06.19 | "and yes there is a citizen cane of slasher and it is HAlloween"
That's a fact |
wham49
02.06.19 | neek the characters in Halloween are perfect horror characters, one sided personality who get killed, Laurie Strode is the template for all surviving horror characters for all time |
Divaman
02.06.19 | >Jason X is so bad it's horribly hilarious.
Oh come on, it's fun. Plus, it's pretty cool when Jason gets the upgrade. |
wham49
02.06.19 | I like JX, they are all watchable, even Manhattan which is be far the worst 13 made, remember that they are made to be fun, nobody is looking for any Oscars here, just a hour and a half of fun |
budgie
02.06.19 | "I actually really liked the new Halloween movie, the original never did it too much for me because the characters were all ass imo"
weird thing to say neeka.. i really enjoyed the new halloween (except for the third act) but most of the characters in it were pretty trivial. as far as i'm concerned, halloween og is flawless |
DarkSideOfLucca
02.06.19 | @Row - When I'm done with work, I'm gonna make my Halloween ranking ;-)
@neek - The new Halloween movie is half really fucking good, but the subplots are some of the worst I've seen in any horror movie and there are some missteps which really bother me. The OG is a horror classic - the stalking scenes in the beginning are haunting, every single Laurie vs Michael frame is straight up classic, and tbh the characters are fine for slasher fodder. Laurie is a motherfucking bosssssss. Plus the music and cinematography are just unebeatable in that movie.
Also your list fucking rules, man. Much more thorough than my explanations aha although I obviously disagree with some of it.
Basically, yeah the original Halloween is the Citizen Kane of horror flicks.
@wham - Agreed, they're all incredibly watchable. I probably should have put 2 above 3 now that I'm looking at it, but it's still not my favorite.
@Concubine - m/ fuck yeah dude |
