Review |
It was bound to
happen, it usually does. They take the charter from a long running
horror/slasher series and stick them in space. It happened with
Hellraiser, Critters, Lepracun, and the curse of space travel has finally
fallen on my favorite day: Friday the 13th. You would think this movie is
going to suck but it doesn't, it kicks ass. Too bad it is Kane Hodder's
last appearance as Jason. But anyways lets dish out the goods and bads on
Jason X.
I have never really been a big fan of putting horror movie charters in
space, unless that is where they belong. But this movie has changed my
outlook on that subject. Jason is now over 500 years old, and like a fine
wine he only gets better with age. Jason X contained the right amount of
violence (lots) which I have come to expect from the Friday series. With
plenty of gore to go along with it.
But there are a couple of flaws of course. First of all, New Line Hyped
the hell out of uber Jason, with the trailers for this flick. Evil gets
an upgrade my ass. Uber Jason didn't even kill anybody, unless you count
two cyborgs (which is funny as hell). Shouldn't uber Jason mean bad ass
mo fo who is going to kill you on all levels of pain? I thought so, but
it doesn't happen, instead we get a zombie Jason wannabe who doesn't even
look that cool.
Second, there is no charter development in this film. Which is kind of a
bummer because I like not wanting charters to die, because when they
finally do bite the dust it makes it all the more fun. (Heh... I just
realized that I might have some problems, oh well.) But we do get a few
likeable charters, mostly Kay-Em. She is a cyborg that looks and
functions exactly like a human, that is if you over look the fact that she
doesn't have nipples. But kay-em is one of the best charters in Jason -
X, next to Jason of course. Especially in her S&M getup.
Overall though Jason X is a great installment in the franchise. With
gore, violence, and gore, you will not be disappointed. Unless you are
offended by robots who's nipples fall off. |

Gore |
| Being a 500 year old
maniac doesn't stop Jason from his usual bloodshed. We get a couple of
impaling, a hardcore frozen and smashed face (which was when my dad
decided that he didn't want to finish the movie), a wicked awesome snapped
neck, and a sick beating taken by Jason. |
