Favourite line:"Die! Die! Die! Die!"

Well, as you would expect this is just more of the same, though it's done effectively and, I have to say, this could well be my favourite of the bunch.

Jason is mysteriously resurrected with no explanation and continues his killing spree as another gaggle of hapless, horny 'teenagers' (they all look about 25) pay a visit to Camp Crystal Lake that they won't forget in a hurry.

The death scenes are well handled, the characters actually quite restrained, and for the last ten minutes the tension is ratcheted up very stylishly, making for some quality horror.
I'm worried that it can only be downhill from here for the franchise....
