By far the best. Fast-paced and well directed. Cory Feldman is excellent and Crispin Glover's dancing is not to be missed.

Incredibly, I really enjoyed this one. Great fun from beginning to end. Tongue firmly in cheek of course.

The immediate sequel to part 2. Good fun although the 3D effects spoil things somewhat. Odd ending to an otherwise atmospheric and disturbing episode.

Jason's debut. Creepy throughout and far better than the first one.

A bit silly this one but all the better for it. Jason is brought back from the dead.

I was expecting this one to be awful but it was surprisingly good. Very fast with a good sense of a chase.

Not a bad little film but hard to believe it spawned ten sequels. Nothing wrong with it but it isn't a 'classic' horror in the mould of Halloween or Nightmare - Elm Street. A young Kevin Bacon appears

Nothing special here. Often dubbed Jason v Carrie for obvious reasons. The ending is daft.

Not a particularly poor film - it simply doesn't fit. Copycat killer - yawn. The events of this one are totally ignored in the next one.

Not as dire as I had expected. Jason in space. Perfectly watchable and a good bit of fun but too far fetched and OTT to be taken seriously.

The worst of the lot. Makes very little sense. Clearly the series was parodying itself by this point. The Creighton Duke character is just plain annoying.
