I'm a filmmaker and Friday the 13th The Final Chapter is the reason why. I was 12 when I saw it and it was the first time I noticed the relationship between the movie and the audience and I noticed how the movie manipulated the audience.
As such I'm a HUGE fan of the series but with a caveat. To me, the series ends with The Final Chapter. I never cared for the movie's as a whole or as part of the franchise after part 4. Mind you, I've seen every single one on opening day since part 3, including the remake (save for Jason Lives because it came out the day I was moving), so I have given the series a chance, but I think zombie Jason is a joke and as such the series went down hill, FAST. Part 5 has some great kills though.
Here's how I rank 'em.
The Final Chapter
Part 2
Friday the 13th
Part 3
As for the rest of the series, the only one that has any merit is Jason Lives and for the kills I tolerate A New Beginning, but 7-FvJ are all terrible. To qualify which one is better than the other would be an insult to the word "better" and would be like comparing having diarrhea to throwing up.
