This movie is ridiculous. Many good horror series get weighed down with attempts at humor. For instance: Nightmare on Elm Street. The first film is pure cinematic genius, and it established Wes Craven as a talented horror mogul worth watching. Then a bunch of hacks turned it into a comedy show, the scares disappeared, and so did everybody's interest.
Then Halloween had a dreadful turn with Halloween 5, in which latent homosexual police officers, complete with "wacky" sounds effects and terrible riffing dialogue, turn a piece of crap into a steaming piece of crap, and thus, one of the worst films ever made. An anti-film, if you will.
Now Friday the 13th. Yeah, there was always something funny about this series. The bad acting. The fact that, no matter how many different titles they gave each film, they were all basically the same. And the undying fans. They are the funniest of all. But in Part 6 they go for the humor, and, well, when it's INTENTIONAL, it's just not funny.
So this film sucks. It's goofy and lame. The final showdown sequence takes forever and actually manages to become very boring. What's the point? The acting is terrible -- terrible! Is Tommy supposed to be a cool loner now? He sounds like he's afflicted with a bad speech impediment. See, it's never a good idea to put speech-impaired actors in films. It just doesn't get the performance across. |
