Content warning: blood, gore, worms/maggotsTommy Jarvis (Thom Mathews) barely survived his encounter with Jason Voorhees (C.J. Graham) but managed to finally kill him. That's not enough reassurance, however, so Tommy and his friend Hawes (Ron Palillo) dig up the killer's grave with the intention of burning the body. Unfortunately, they accidentally turn Jason into an undead revenant --oopsies-- and set him loose on the unsuspecting inhabitants of Camp Forest Green née Crystal Lake.
God, I love dumb, hilarious horror movies. Full disclosure, I watched this out of order. I've only seen the original Friday the 13th, but I didn't want to get left out of Movie Club so I skipped 2-5. It's not a big continuity problem but I will probably go back and watch the ones in between at some point because I'm a completionist.
This isn't just so-bad-it's-funny, although there are plenty of cheesy moments. It's actual meta-humor. There's a fourth-wall break, two camp kids that are pre-pubescent Statler and Waldorf, and at least one character that explicitly mentions being in a horror movie. It's really fun and requires zero brain power. The entire franchise is streaming on Paramount+.
