A rainy resurrection: Jason Lives

Purposely mimicking Frankenstein, director Tom McGloughlin decided to have some fun with the Friday the 13th franchise, and this sixth film in the series set of a string of "Zombie Jason" movies which allowed the deranged mama's boy to do things and withstand punishment that could defy logic. The tone of this film is intentionally comical and over the top. There is little serious beyond straight-faced Thom Matthews but it works because the human hero, hoping he'd rid himself of the hallucinations of Jason Voorhees if he once and for all burned his remains to ash, isn't "in on the fun". To have Jason undead and in defiance of death, resurrected by lightning (his "other mother"), and still as coldly homicidal as ever, there's plenty of places to go.
