Meurtres en 3 dimensions

The third film in the Friday series demonstrates the fact that Jason cannot be dispatched with ease. In fact he seems pretty damned indestructible. There is a group of friends hanging out at a cabin around Crystal Lake, and Jason is not having it. This was originally in 3D, but it works just as well in 2D. You will have to overlook the obvious attempts to make the most of the 3D film though. A very solid entry into the franchise and we get to see Jason claiming his hockey mask.

Set shortly after the events of Part Two, Jason in still in the area and another group of young people are about to get slaughtered. This time rather than camp councillors it is just a group of friends staying in a farmhouse in the foods not far from Crystal Lake. Once there they begin to settle in and two of them quickly cross paths with a small group of bikers who follow them back to the farm... and 'meet' Jason in the barn. It isn't long before he begins picking off the unexpecting young people.

This instalment to the series doesn't start to well... the opening scene is just the closing scene of the previous film; if you've recently seen part two the first chapter of the DVD can be skipped. Once the story gets underway it is solid enough; a couple of shopkeepers are murdered before the main cast are introduced. It quickly becomes apparent that one of them has a slightly warped sense of humour and another had encountered Jason before. Once there we get a few false scares and some laughs. Once the murders start the killings are fairly inventive, without Jason resorting to using things that wouldn't be found on a farm. The fact that this was originally in 3D is pretty obvious with lots of objects pointing out of the screen for no plot-demanded reason; it might have looked okay in the cinema but watching now on DVD it is just a distraction. Overall I'd say this was a solid addition to the series; fans should really enjoy it, especially when Jason gets his famous hockey mask.

as one of the first horror movies i ever viewed(and the first friday movie i ever saw!!)it is still my favourite horror movie to date! although the friday movies have taken a battering over the years,being typcast as a typical slasher movie or an immataion of halloween,friday the 13th 3 is reccomended viewing for any horror fan(as are the first 4 movies in the friday series) it starts were part2 leaves off then enter some funky music(hot ice)and the 3-d images and you certainly dont think your watching a friday movie!until the movie starts!grainy and dark adds to the atmosphere as does the excellent sound track(along with the traditional ki-ki-ki-ma-ma-ma!)then the killing begins!!!this is the one were jason gets his hockey mask,this is the most intense friday and this has the best ending of a friday movie! i strongley recommend that if you have seen any of the friday series this ones a must!or if your just a horror fan in genral then check it out!put in the dvd,dim the lights,grab the pop-corn and join jason in the woods!!!

In "Friday the 13th Part 3: 3-D", Jason has returned again for more teenage slaughter. This time he's targeting some teenagers who are spending the weekend in a summerhouse near Camp Crystal Lake, like he does in almost every sequel that follows this one.

I will say that I haven't seen this movie in it's original 3-D format, I saw it on DVD, so I'm guessing it was much better in 3-D than it is in 2-D. I enjoyed "Friday the 13th Part 2" better than "Part 3". This film does have some slightly suspenseful moments, and the acting is downright awful, which really doesn't matter because this is a "Friday the 13th" sequel. But still, this one didn't work for me.

When I see these movies I don't expect top notch acting. Also some of the killings have horrible effects jobs and they look worse than fake. It has the horror elements in there, but it still isn't nearly as good as Part 2. I think the best thing about this movie is that it was the first of all of the sequels to introduce the infamous "hockey mask", which is now iconic. Not to mention, the original theater release was in 3-D. 5/10.

There's so much I love about this movie. It's definitely a step up from the last. The setup is the same as Jason targets a new group of druggie, horny teens but this time in 3D. The kills are great. The eye popping scene is the best and the effort put into the 3D effects is really impressive and goofy. From the get go I absolutely loved the disco theme. The acting is pretty bad but in a fun campy way. The final girl is mostly useless but hilarious as she faces Jason down. I love the bikers and the movie is overly entertaining and highly successful mostly because it's not aiming very high. Plus this is the one where he finally gets his iconic mask

3.5/5
