So Bad it's Good Rating: 5/5
I have a hard time deciding if "Friday the 13th part 3" is better than "Part 2", or if this third instalment is the worst chapter yet. The story is completely non-existent this time, with characters placed at the Crystal Lake Campground just so they can be slaughtered. There's barely a reason for them to be gathered in the location except for the fact that Part 2 made a lot of money. It's largely without any genuine scares but at least the characters present are entertaining, so their deaths have a greater emotional impact (which is good) The saving grace of this slasher film is the 3D. It’s the cheesiest, most shoehorned, stereotypically bad 3D you will ever see, and that bumps the movie into "So Bad It's Good" territory faster than a machete through a horny teenager. You get yo-yos, juggling, geysers of blood, eyeballs and more coming towards the screen thanks to those cheap cardboard glasses, and the credits are so ridiculously over-the-top you can't help but be entertained. As a horror film, it's completely inept but as a fun movie that just happens to star a lot of dead teenagers and a maniac with a thirst for blood, there’s a lot of entertainment to be had. Just make sure you watch it in 3D (or pretend that you do) so you can come up with some witty comments to make your friends laugh. There's a lot of entertainment to be had at the expense of “Friday the 13th Part 3” so if you're a fan of the series (which is not a serious of good horror movies, it's just bad gory fun) this will be quite entertaining. I’d probably go as far as to say that it’s my favourite instalment. (On Dvd, July 13th, 2012)
