Movie review - "Friday the 13th Part 6: Jason Lives" (1986) **1/2

 A moe slick entry - done with intelligence and polish. Tommy is back as a tormented adult, determined to wipe out Jason's corpse.. instead he brings him to life accidentally via lightning. Thtat's not bad. The cast includes Jennifer Cooke, who is spunky as the local cops daughter, and a young Tony Goldwyn. There's no nudity which is weird just the one sex scene; some little kdis are at camp but aren't harmed - one girl is praying when Jason decides not to kill her a little Mike Myers style.

Jason's more a spernatural figure here. There's a nice line in self referential humour which doesn't go overboard and one or two memorable kills (a neck breaking). I wasn't wild about the paintballers being killed. The fil lacks the craziness and dodginess of the earlt 80s efforts.
