I really like the film, but it's interesting to see the things you don't like about it (apart from the last lot, anyway) are exactly what I don't like about Tarantino's recent films.
Back on topic, as the last two nights I've watched all eight
Friday the 13th films, with the first three on Monday and the last five last night. They really are a mixed bag when it comes to the acting, stories, direction and scares. I found
Part V: The New Blood to be weaker than most, but nowhere near as bad as
Jason Takes Manhattan!
