Ian West’s review published on Letterboxd:
Handstand kill for the win!
At one point in the mid 1990's this and Part VI were in a toss up as to which one was my favorite and I would constantly watch both of them over and over, I’m pretty sure VI won that battle for a while but when I think of Jason I usually think of this movie first. I love the Higgins Haven setting in this, the barn—the cabin—the cabins cool spiral staircase! Extra special thanks to Shelley for bringing the hockey mask, and to unmasked creepy Jason at the end… the way he looks in that barn window still gets me.
One of my ‘anywhere, anytime’ movies.
