And with the Paramount entries in the series out of the way, I’ll list everything I like about them:
- The atmosphere in the first five movies
- The aesthetics of Human Jason (Zombie Jason looks like literal shit)
- That (most of) the final girls are strong, resourceful, likable women
- Harry Manfredini’s music
And that’s it, really.
I’m tired of watching these movies – and I’m in no great hurry to watch Jason X or Freddy vs. Jason again – so I think I’ll take a long break before continuing on with the New Line sequels.
