The bogeyman is back. Thirty years have gone by since Sean S. Cunningham launched the "Friday the 13th" franchise and the first series of grisly murders took place in the woods around Camp Crystal Lake. And wouldn'tcha know it, party-loving 20-somethings are still going out to the old camp to screw and smoke weed and get drunk and be killed in various horrible ways. Yes, Jason's still out there, the misunderstood kid who grew up to be every camper's worst waking nightmare, with his machete and his hockey mask. He's unkillable, too. By my unofficial count, in this movie alone, he gets clubbed with a stick, stabbed with a sickle, jabbed with a poker, hanged, burned, drowned and dragged head-first into a wood-chipper. It barely slows him down. Think he'll be back to terrorize another gang of campers in a year or two? You can bet on it. There's no end to this hell. There's just more hell.
