I honestly wouldn't mind seeing Sarah Silverman or Patton Oswalt getting killed by Jason.

The holographic camping scene alone makes it better than Jason Goes to Hell

Unpopular opinion but I actually liked Jason Goes To Hell, Jason X, and Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare all unironically.

Granted, I appreciate Jason X and Freddy's Dead for the same things that everyone else hates them for, namely that they're both meant to be self-parodies from the get-go.

Jason Goes To Hell is unique because it did something different and the scenes with the actual hockey mask Jason are actually really cool as well, with one of the more interesting designs for Jason.

Gentlemen, gentlemen... they're BOTH total shit

Hey, they're both better than the 2010 Elm Street remake or Freddy vs. Jason at least. Damning with faint praise, but still.

Bro.

I mean Jason X definitely is not good, but it's nowhere near as bad as those two.

... Freddy vs Jason is awesome. They have a literal scooby doo van. The only problem was that there wasn't much of a fight between them, but it was entirely enjoyable.

And I would much rather watch the Elm Street remake than Jason Goes to Hell past the bazooka scene.

I hated JGTH but I liked it better than FvJ. I can appreciate what they tried to do but at the end of the day the movie just wasn't a home run.

As far as potential good news go, we might be getting a new Friday the 13th movie next year!

A Return to Crystal Lake? Producer Roy Lee Teases ‘Friday the 13th’ Franchise News Very Soon [Exclusive]

It has now been a full 13 years since the release of the last Friday the 13th movie, with the franchise trapped in a messy legal battle ever since. You can read all about those legal issues right here, but the basic gist is that Sean Cunningham, the original movie’s director, and Victor Miller...

It kind of scares me that it's happening in current year, but even the last Reboot was decent, and F13 is the best horror franchise (with more than 4 entries) and only fucked up once (Jason Goes to Hell) so I'm definitely pumped for a new one regardless.

Mean next October has a Friday the 13th date, would be idiots miss that. But don't be too hopeful with all the issues they had, better to believe it happening when the cameras start rolling.

JGTH and Jason X are practically in their own weight class of crap. They're "leaked ashcan copy"-tier. I'd really have to strain my brain to think of a movie with an American theatrical release that I would consider worse than either of them. JGTH is an unfinished movie and a massive cancerous growth of genuinely retarded ideas. Jason X is like Chinese water torture, only instead of waiting in dread for the next water drop to land, you're waiting in dread for the next shitty joke that doesn't land. God and Satan alike have mercy on anyone concocting apologetics for either of those crimes against humanity.

Don't get me wrong, I get why people hate them and I don't fault the many people who do hate these films. I just personally like both of them despite their myriad flaws.

Jason X comes off as an obvious self-parody since it was done both as a way for New Line/Warner to keep the rights to Jason Voorhees and was done in a post-Scream landscape. I'm a sucker for when a franchise intentionally parodies itself, which is why I liked Gremlins 2.

I liked that they tried new concepts in Jason Goes To Hell and while I still think that the best Friday the 13th film will always be The Final Chapter, I still give them credit for trying. The movie's opening and the final fight with Jason are both sort of cool even if you don't like the body-hopping plot.

Part of why I like Jason Goes To Hell is also admittedly nostalgia. The first two Friday the 13th films I ever saw were Jason Lives and Jason Goes To Hell.
 
Guys, guys....Jason Goes to Hell is my fav F13 movie, aside from part 2 of course. It's just a really fun fucked up splatter flick. It's like if Hellraiser and The Hidden (1987) had a fucked up butt baby off a movie. It has a surprising sadistic streak for normie mainstream horror.

My hotter take? The Burning (1981) is better than any of the F13 movies in general, a top 5 slasher movie for me. Amazing score by Rick Wakeman too.

Opinions aren't supposed to be wrong, but here we are.
 
Okay, I like Jason Goes to Hell but Jesus Hussein Christ I wouldn't say it's the best one. Obligatory: "Why do you like Jason Goes to Hell, Bruno? That movie sucks!" I like the gore, the characters are fun, it changed things up for better and worse, and for fuck's sake it has Kane Hodder cameo'ing as a security guard where he calls Jason a pussy and is killed off camera. It can't be that bad if it's the only one that has Kane Hodder without the suit on.

I will agree with The Burning. It might be my favorite slasher.

I have a major soft spot for Jason Goes to Hell because of the DVD release that had the Director's Cut and commentary track from the writer and director. I remember the Director's Cut having some genuinely gruesome gore effects and the commentary track made the writer and director seem like likeable guys who were honest about the movie's shortcomings and their inexperience, but genuinely had a good time shooting the movie. The middle of the movie is just such a slog though.

The Burning is also probably my number one slasher, if Maniac Cop 2 doesn't count because that is almost just a straight up action movie.

I only ever saw the director's cut version, so I don't know how truncated the R cut is. Seeing how they dirty they did the seventh one (the one with the psychic teenager - New Blood, right?) I can't imagine its worth seeking out in that form, lol.


That all being said, some underrated slashers I really like:
Slaughter High (1986)
Splatter University (1984)
Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984)
Silent Night, Bloody Night (1972 - violent pseudo-arthouse proto-slasher with some of Andy Warhol's people in it - if you liked Paul Morrissey's Flesh for Frankenstein & Blood for Dracula it's got a similar vibe)
Just Before Dawn (1981)
The Final Terror (1983)
Hospital Massacre (1982)
The Mutilator (1985)
New Years Evil (1980)
Blood Beat (1982?85? - total fever dream shit, not much else like it)
Blood Rage (1987)
Truth or Dare?: A Critical Madness (1986)
Killing Spree (1987)
Don't Go in the House (1980 - Patsy Parisi from The Sopranos sets bitches on fire!!)
Christmas Evil (1980)
Edge of Sanity (1989 - Anthony Perkins as coked up goth rocker Jack the Ripper)
Pieces (1982)

If I had to pick a favorite slasher ever though? Probably The Burning or the OG Black Christmas. John Carpenter's Halloween, too but that's a given at this point.

Change it up a bit for my KF peeps: anyone seen the Shaw Bros horror flicks from the 70s? They're pretty fucking rad. Black Magic 1 & 2, Human Lanterns, Corpse Mania, Boxer's Omen etc. all awesome. Black Magic 2 really is the fucking best tho. First one is pretty good if slow at times, but the sequel is just balls to the wall shot out 70s insanity from start to finish. On mobile rn and I forget how to embed videos, but here's a trailer:


Fun fact: Beastie Boys' "Staring Down the Barrel of a Gun" is built upon a sample from this movie's soundtrack. :D

I'm pretty fond of Slaughter High. Probably mostly for the jester mask.

Mutilator 2 is supposed to be coming out this year. I figure, what the hell, I'll watch that if it's convenient.

Yeah, Slaughter High is pretty rad. The hi-def rip of it I saw made me really appreciate the cinematography. The colors pop like a 70s giallo.

I had no idea they were making a sequel, that's dope! I love the juxtaposition of sadistic gruesome violence and goofy 80s teen hijinks in the first one. It's very unique.
