Jason Takes Manhattan

I saw this on tv when I was a kid, it turned off of all horror films until I saw Saw in theaters back in 2004 due to the quality of it

[zombie no.one]

haha, Graduation Day and The Mutilator are in my top 10 slashers. love them both. I mean they're super crappy, but I love them...in fact they're the first 2 blu rays I bought after finally getting a blu ray player last year. and Jason Takes Manhattan is my favourite F13 instalment! heh

least fav slasher is possibly SPLATTER UNIVERSITY. boring, badly mic'd...trying too hard to be quirky/funny. can't stand it

least fav giallo.... probably RINGS OF FEAR aka ENIGMA ROSSO. the lame third part of the 'schoolgirls in peril' trilogy that had, in my opinion, a brilliant first 2 instalments (WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO SOLANGE?, and WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOUR DAUGHTERS?).

Good replies thus far.. UNHINGED is awful (and was filmed in my hometown of Portland OR), GRADUATION DAY is really bad too (and that band Felony.. ugh!)..  A BLADE IN THE DARK was pretty overrated IMHO.  THE PREY with the giant mutant with an axe is awful but unintentionally funny in a few scenes.  2000 MANIACS is so dull and stupid, much worse than Lewis' BLOOD FEAST.  PIECES is so bad it's funny.  For the crowning turd, though.. MIDNIGHT I cannot hurl enough insults at.

The one with Cropsy and George Costanza

zombie...words cannot describe how absolutely HORRID Splatter University is.

Hard to determine the worst slasher as there are so many bad ones. Happy Birthday To Me was painful. As was Horror High. And agreed, Jason Takes Manhattan and Jason Goes to Hell suck on toast.

Speaking of which, I just rewatched Friday part III last night (after many years) ...and it was worse than I remembered.

The Gripper, or possbily Gipper. Its been a while since I watched it. You have a serial killer obsessed with Ronald Reagan killing people with an axe.

Wow. You don't like HBTM? Easily one of faves in a very good way, but that's me i guess. I dig F13th pt 3 because of the cheese.

Is this an unpopular opinion thread? 

It's hard for me to dislike most slashers. I even found entertainment in Scream (1981) and Satan's Blade (1984).

I did have issues with the Friday the 13th remake because I wasn't getting any Jason/Camp vibes at all. It felt more like another Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake to me.

Yeah, I'll have to rewatch it at some point and give it another chance. I just remember it was a painful viewing, but then, I've sat through Blood Freak (1972) a few times and survived lol. I did like the motorcycle death, but the ending ...ehh.

I'm a major F13 fan...but parts 3, 8, and 9, although high on cheese, just irked me. Part 3 has the intro to the iconic hockey mask, but what dull cheese it was. Now, part 4, on the other hand, was probably the best (that or part 2).

re: Friday remake: yes it was way too much like the TCM remake. They really dropped the ball on that one, although I do love Jason being more sadistic, running, and setting traps (but the tunnels can go!).

I'm gonna add Saw 7 to this thread. It's the only movie I considered walking out in the theater --- during the f**king opening credits where they gave away the god damn  ending. I kept getting angrier and angrier as the movie progressed.

[major jay]

Agree with zombie#1 about JASON TAKES MANHATTAN.
Remember being disappointed with THE HOUSE WITH LAUGHING WINDOWS.

[Slinkyturd]

ANYTHING by Bruno Mattai. He makes complete garbage so bad, it cannot even be enjoyed for being inept.

[voltron]

Short Night Of Gkass Dolls and Black Belly Of the Tarantula didn't really keep my attention for too long. Not BAD per se, just kinda mediocre.
