Friday fans it's been at the very least several or seven months since I last spoke about a Friday The 13th movie and well I thought that it was about time that I reviewed another movie in the Friday The 13th film and multi-media franchise. As such i've chosen a film that was very recently covered by Dead Meat and so join me as I review the film that got slaughtered by the censors with the film in question being called simply just "Friday The 13th: A New Beginning" enjoy.
The plot of this film is several years after he last faced Jason Voorhees a now teenaged Tommy Jarvis finds himself in a mental home and while he's there people start getting killed by a very familiar looking killer and Tommy has to find who is killing these people and put astop to this massacre once and for all or even before it's to late. Now then in all honesty I really did find the plot of this film to be rather enjoyable since even tho it does indeed stick to the Friday The 13th formular quite a bit it also dares to try something new with the Friday The 13th formular in my opinion anyways / at least.
Starring in this film is John Sheperd as Tommy Jarvis , Corey Feldman as Young Tommy Jarvis and Melanie Kinnaman as Pam Roberts. Also starring in this film is Shavar Ross as Reggie Winter , Richard Young as Dr. Matthew Letter , Marco St. John as Sheriff Cal Tucker , Juliette Cummins as Robin Brown , Carol Locatell as Ethel Hubbard , Vernon Washington as George Winter , John Robert Dixon as Eddie Kelso , Jerry Pavlon as Jake Patterson , Caskey Swaim as Duke Johnson , Mark Venturini as Vic Faden , Anthony Barrile as Vinnie Manalo , Dominick Brascia as Joey Burns , Tiffany Helm as Violet Moraine , Richard Lineback as Deputy Dodd , Suzanne Bateman as Nurse Yates , Bob DeSimone as Billy Macauley , Jere Fields as Anita Robb , Ric Mancini as Mayor Cobb , Miguel A. Núñez Jr. as Demon Winter , Corey Parker as Pete Linley , Rebecca Wood as Lana Ardsley , Ron Sloan as Junior Hubbard , Debi Sue Voorhees as Tina McCarthy and Dick Wieand as Roy Burns.
Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's featured / presented to us in this very film in all honesty I all honesty thought / felt that the actual acting that's featured / presented to us in this very film was decent at best. This is simply because the director of this film just allowed his actors and actresses to do whatever the heck that they wanted to do which results in a lot of very mixed performances in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then this film has a very freaking similar ending to that of Halloween 4: The Return Of Michael Myers in that by the end of both films the person who was the protagonist of there respective film is now set up to be the antagonist of the franchise moving forward. However just like with Halloween 4: The Return Of Michael Myers this film ditches it's twist ending in the very next film due to negative fan feedback which is a shame because having Tommy Jarvis is the main killer of the franchise is a fairly good idea in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then I think that this is something that anyone who has seen this movie can very easily agree but Ethel Hubbard (Carol Locatell) is very easily the best character in the whole damn movie in my opinion anyways / at least. Since this character just doesn't take any kind of s*it from anybody and this character just such an entertaining character to watch and heck she very easily makes this movie all the more enjoyable in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then this film was the last film ever directed by this films director and co-writer Danny Steinmann. Who like I said earlier in this very review allowed his actors and actresses to do whatever the heck that they wanted to do with there performances and heck in keeping with the tradition of the Friday the 13th films at the time he also allowed drugs to be used on his set while the movie was being made which honestly explains why he let his actors and actresses do whatever the heck that they wanted to do with there performances in my opinion anyways / at least.
So now then when it comes the victim characters in the Friday The 13th films the victim usually aren't that good or even memorable in my opinion anyways. However that does infact change with this film since the victim characters are honestly alot more rounded and some of them are indeed alot more memorable then the victim characters in the other Friday The 13th films and this is because of the fact that the actors were allowed to do whatever they wanted with there characters performances even tho that very fact does infact hurt the actual actors and actresses performances in my opinion anyways / at least.
So now then this very film has / had an exact running time of exactly one hour and thirty two minuets and seventeen seconds and which in my opinion anyways / at least is the perfect running time for this film. This is simply because this film doesn't really have enough there in terms of either plot or story and so it would be foolish to even attempt to make this film be anywhere close or even anywhere even near to two hours in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then since / because this film is a slasher film after all that means that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are featured / presented to us in this very film and well in my opinion anyways / at least the kills that are featured / presented to us in this very film just aren't good and well alot of this comes down to the fact that. All of the kills that we see in this film were either cut down , removed or changed and so the kills can't be as good as they possibly could be because the censors just won't let them be as good as they possibly could be which is a shame because when we do indeed get a decent kill in this film it really a nice and good kill in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.
Overall this was a really entertaining film and it's one that I highly recommend fans or even none fans of the horror genre watch just simply due to how entertaining that this film and plus Miguel A. Núñez Jr. is just simply awesome to watch in this film in my opinion anyways / at least however tho please note that this film isn't anywhere even close to being a perfect film tho it's just an entertaining film and nothing more then that. Now since i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this film in this very review that means that this film gets a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out 10 from me.
Now then as for where I got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Halloween fandom wiki page , the official Friday The 13th fandom wiki page Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Images actually has images from this film up on Google Images and pus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all fairly high quality and as well as being as fairly high definition and so then horror fans we ends this review as we always do with our ne and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some very unpleasant dreams.
