Jason X: Critic Reviews

Jason gets a futuristic makeover and annihilates someone using a giant screwing tool. After sitting through Jason's latest exploits, the audience may find itself identifying with that victim in particular.

A protracted and only sporadically imaginative menu of ways to be murdered.

Jason X conjures up more giggles than scares, assuming you make it through the first 15 minutes.

Truly terrible.

Everything else Jason X tries to do has been done too, and generally a lot better.

As far as B-horror movies go with camp, and cheese, this is a good one...

Jason follows the ol' tradition of monsters going into space.

An underdog classic of camp.

Exuberantly crappy bad fun.

This film manages the extraordinary, almost mythological feat of surpassing all that came before it to stand proud as the worst of all ten Friday the 13th movies.

...for what it is and what it sets out to do, it works.

The original films were cheap and nasty, a bit like a venereal disease I suppose.

I never saw any of the films between III and IX in the bloated FRIDAY THE 13th series, and JASON X doesn't exactly have me running to the video store to play catch-up.

Low rent from frame one.

Well, Jason's gone to Manhattan and Hell, I guess a space station in the year 2455 can be crossed off the list of ideas for the inevitable future sequels (hey, don't shoot the messenger).

There's not a single jump-in-your-seat moment and believe it or not, Jason actually takes a backseat in his own film to special effects.

This newest puritan-pukefest is as joyless as they come...you can count each shock-moment down to the millisecond.

Jason X was made 2 years ago and I'd have been happy if its release had been delayed by another 453 years.

Although trying to balance self-referential humor and a normal ol' slasher plot seemed like a decent endeavor, the result doesn't fully satisfy either the die-hard Jason fans or those who can take a good joke.

As far as the Friday series goes, this is more fun than anyone had any right to imagine.

Can there really be 10 movies in the "Friday the 13th" film series? That's at least nine (cough, 10) too many.

truly a last-gasp effort

I have to admit that I am baffled by Jason X.

Producer Sean S. Cunningham and cronies have wisely given up trying to scare us with this series.

This franchise has not spawned a single good film. The crap continues.
