i give this movie five stars because it starts an era of fear to the man they call JASON a man who terrorises camp counselors (and anyone who gets in his way) for letting him drown as a boy in the lake. whats really great is noone ever finds out how or when this demon came back to life it is all a complete mystery whhich just adds to the what will he do next factor. this movie also brought back the great sequel never in the horror industry have we seen such a great sequel which led to other great sequels eight of them to be exact. noone has ever lived that long in a line of sequels not freddy not micheal nobody not only that this creature has another movie in the works and if you miss out on this great movie you will never know how why when or where this all started find out why people cower at the sound of chchchchc hahahaha why people cringe at the mere mention of the name JASON if you dont see this one you cant watch the others that would just be blasphemy
