Synopsis: Tommy Jarvis returns to the cemetery where Jason is buried, with a friend from the mental institution. They dig him up, and a bolt of lightening revives Jason. Tommy tries to warn the sheriff of Crystal Lake, which has now been renamed to Forest Green, but the sheriff believes its Tommy's craziness talking. 

My Review: It was nice to be able to see what was happening to Tommy Jarvis since he was in F13 Part 4 & 5 where we really got to know his character. Many believe that Friday The 13th Part 5: A New Beginning is the worst movie to hit the series, and while I tend to believe it wasn't the best storyline, I think it helps to lead up to this film. In Friday The 13th Part 4: The Final Chapter we get to see that Tommy comes from a nice loving family, that all changes as soon as Jason arrives. His mother is taken away from him, and its believed that his sister is somehow dead. Friday The 13th Part 5: A New Beginning shows the effects of Part 4 to us. Tommy's mind is playing tricks on him, so when the murders begin he doesn't know if he's doing them or if Jason has really returned. In Friday the 13th Part 6: Jason Lives, Tommy is really screwed up, but he's working his way back to being sane. He just needs to make sure Jason's dead, and in doing so, he revives Jason. 

I believe this is by far one of the better films in the series, but definitely not the best of the series. 

Gore: What I really don't like is that a lot of the killing is shown off screen. Many of the Friday The 13th films have had lots of gore cut just to avoid an X rating. But if you watch some action films there is more blood and gore in those then in a freaking horror movie. Not only that, but the other day I watched this other horror movie, really low budget and really stupid, the gore looked pretty fake, but there was so much gore it was great. With the Friday The 13th films they need to apply more gore, and not have it cut. 

Sexual Content: Yes, there is a sex scene, but nothing is really shown. 

Soundtrack: Awesome songs by Alice Cooper. Teenage Frankenstein & The Man Behind the Mask. 

Character Development: The characters don't really develop too much in this film. Tommy's character doesn't really need much, because we already know him from the two films before this. Megan's character is developed more then any of the other's but we still don't know all that much about her.  We know she's the sheriffs daughter, and that she takes and immediate interest in Tommy, she's a counselor, and she's good friends with the other counselors. Sheriff Garris is the guy everyone loves to hate.  He loves his daughter a lot, but he lies to Megan about Jason, and Tommy. 

Acting: Great job on the acting if you ask me. Horror movies are known for bad acting, at least older horror movies. In fact Tony Goldwyn just like Kevin Bacon made it big after appearing in this film. Tony played Darren, remember him? He's the one of the head camp counselors along with Lizabeth, Jason gets in the path of the car, and Tony tries to stop him. Well Tony went on to other movies such as 1990's Ghost with Patrick Swayze, and Demi Moore, 1992's Kuffs with Christian Slater & Milla Jovovich (who currently stars in Resident Evil as Alice), and more recently he was in Bounce, with Ben Affleck and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Overall: Overall its not a bad film for the series, and it brings Friday The 13th Part 4 & 5 to a close.
