Plots(1)
Jason Voorhees (Richard Brooker) returns again to Camp Crystal Lake, where he drowned nearly three decades before while some negligent camp counselors made out on the beach. Understandably upset by this turn of events, Jason continues to haunt his old stomping grounds, dealing death to those thrill-seeking teens who venture into the woods. This time around, Jason faces tougher victims in the form of a motorcycle gang and dons what is to become his trademark hockey mask. (official distributor synopsis)

Miner learned from the mistakes he made like a little schoolboy in the second installment, and his only weakness in this film is his lack of control over the pace (the protracted opening, the drawn-out ending). Jason finally puts on the goalie mask and also finally lives up to the legends that surround him. The kills are spectacular, even almost an exhibition (the harpoon), but the script prescribed a kill list in a predictable package, which in the end (along with the annoying epilogue) forces me to give it a less-than-perfect rating.

It’s better directed than the second one, tense and atmospheric. The best Friday.

Friday the 13th Part III does have that one privilege it holds. It's a privilege within the series that Jason first dons the hockey mask in this installment, which then becomes iconic and easily recognizable throughout the rest of the series. But it's probably the only thing worth mentioning about the film. That's quite a shame.
