Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (part V)

This may be the worst Friday the 13th I have ever seen, save for one thing: the awesome robot dance done by Violet near the end of the film.  Only redeeming feature.  Jason is not even the killer in this! Sorry, that was a spoiler.  Tommy Jarvis, Jason's killer from part 4, is now grown up (but unfortunately not played by Corey Feldman) and living in a halfway house for troubled teens.  He keeps having visions of Jason, and when people start showing up dead, Tommy and the audience begin to wonder if Jason is really dead at all!  A New Beginning features one of the most annoying final girls in all of film history: Pam.  Pam fights back and can kick ass, but there is so much screaming and crying that I was really hoping she would take a machete to the face.  I actually cheered when the redneck Junior bought it, but not as much as I cheered when the final credits came up.  Because it was over.  Now enjoy this awesome trailer featuring the robot dance sequence.  Thanks to Dread Central for bringing it to my attention.



In case you didn't see enough...

I am a big fan of the series but I really can't get into V. On my last viewing I was pretty annoyed by it. But yeah, that violet dance is something else! Thanks for posting those!

You are welcome! Really, the movie bored the hell out of me, which is why I latched on to the Violet dance: it was the only thing I liked about it!
