Keith's Horror Show Episode 5: Friday the 13th franchise ranking

You know the drill by now if you've been following along. Ranking: 12th: Jason Goes To Hell - This used to be higher ranked for me but it's not a very good movie, I don't particularly care for most of it, it's not what I want out of Friday the 13th. 11th: Friday the 13th part VII: The New Blood - It's awful honestly, the kills are basically non existent and cut down to hell, the cast is all unlikeable and the Carrie vs Jason antics at the end are fun, but it's barely any of the movie spent doing that. 10th: Friday the 13th part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan - Jason takes a boat ride to Manhattan and spends maybe 5 minutes there is a more accurate movie title, but overall the film was fine with some really fantastic kills like the boxing kill, I just had more fun with this one than the ones ranked below it. 9th: Freddy vs Jason - I wanted to like this a lot more because I love Friday the 13th and I adore Nightmare on Elm Street, but this movie is not great. The Freddy stuff is mostly excellent but Jason is just kinda there in the movie and the overall kills are incredibly bad because of a over reliance on CGI and aside from Jason killing that guy in the bed then breaking his spine in half using the mattress, no kill sticks out to me as particularly good in a series that usually has excellent kills. 8th: Friday the 13th (1980) - The original Friday the 13th is here in 8th because it's just kinda boring for a large portion of it. When the kills start, all the kills are pretty much great, I love the Pamela Voorhees actress, she is doing a fantastic job, but the movie itself is pretty bloated and doesn't get going for a long time, which isn't bad if this were a slow burn mystery, but Pamela Voorhees isn't even mentioned by name a single time until she shows up in the last 10-15 minutes. 7th: Friday the 13th: Part 3 - The most goofy movie in the series, I love it, it has some excellent kills and some terrible effects that are also just super fun to see. I love the terrible acting for the most part, but this is the movie that gives Jason his iconic hockey mask, so there's that. 6th: Jason X - Jason X is a ton of fun, with terrible characters, terrible acting, it's the most B movie shlocky Friday the 13th movie but also has excellent kills like the liquid nitrogen kill and some incredibly fun sequences especially when he's uber jason. 5th: Friday the 13th: Part V: A New Beginning - I love Part 5, I think it's one of the best films in the series because it doesn't take itself too seriously, has some of the best kills of the entire franchise with stuff like the tree kill and the beheading of the biker son. Some of my favorite characters of the franchise with all the actors ad libbing their lines, a ton of fun. 4th: Friday the 13th: Part 2 - I love Part 2 as a darker faster version of the original with more kills, better kills, cooler chase sequences and one of the scariest Jasons of the series. I love sackhead Jason, it's an awesome version of him. 3rd: Friday the 13th: Part VI - I love Part 6 for being more self aware, it's fantastic. 2nd: Friday the 13th: Part 4: The Final Chapter - The best of the original run of movies, but not my favorite friday the 13th film as that title goes to... 1st: Friday the 13th (2009) - The best remake of any classic horror movie aside from maybe the platinum dunes version of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I adore the Friday the 13th remake, faster pacing, amazing kills, a shocking kill of who I thought was gonna be the final girl and some of the best chase sequences of the entire franchise with a Jason that scared the shit out of me, that scene when he throws the axe into the guy's spine then uses his screaming in agony to try to lure out his friends is genuinely creepy, it's a fantastic film.
