Jason Rising, once again proof that fan fiction is what keeps this franchise alive throughout crappy remakes, crossovers and the bickering between the creators.
The idea of the headless mother is a bit wonky at first, but if you keep the other silliness in the franchise in mind, you get over that pretty quickly.
The film has many qualities. It ventures into the relationship between Jason and his mother, building on the shrine from part 2. It sets up the characters and their motivations and the way they evolve throughout this relatively well and the kills are pretty damn good. They have the creativeness of the original series and get to be more graphic. The upside to the MPAA not breathing down your neck.
And the kicker of course the cameo by Adrienne King. Knowing her history, especially between parts one and two, it makes you wonder how this came about and how she agreed to return to the series. Guess bygones are bygones?
Anyway, a good watch and well worth your time.
