FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VI: JASON LIVES DVD
*** ½ Out of 5
THE MOVIE
This was a really fun sequel and in my opinion the last great Friday the 13th movie; this one goes in a slightly different direction without straying from the formula; this one is sort of the Scream before Scream and the movie while a legit horror movie also spoofs itself and other horror movies while still paying homage to the series and horror flicks.
PACKAGE DESIGN
Not as cool as the original artwork, but far better than the old DVD, but that isn't saying much since the old DVD cover was horrid and this one isn't very good either.
AUDIO COMMENTARY- Tom McLoughlin, Bruce Green, Vincent Guastaferro
This is a newly recorded track and not the same as the one on Crystal Lake to Manhattan; Tom McLoughlin appears on the previous commentary and records a new one with the editor Bruce Green and co-star Vincent Guastaferro. This track is entertaining and a lot of fun it's informative and there aren't any lulls on the track, which sometimes happens.
LOST TALES FROM CAMP BLOOD PART 6- 7:16
Directed by Andrew Ceperley and I know a lot of people dislike these features, but personally they don't bother me. I'd rather this space be used for something with the movie, but it's not too bad.
THE CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE MASSACRES REVISITED PART III- 9:34
This is a spoof of the series done in a documentary style, but doesn't make fun of the movies; this one covers the events of Jason Lives and is a really fun feature, while not great it does serve its purpose and again is a solid feature.
JASON LIVES: THE MAKING OF FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 6- 12:55
Good behind the scenes look at the movie, but nothing new is really stated from other interviews in the past; like I said it's a good feature, but nothing great, but does cover pretty much the whole movie despite the running time, some good info here, but I'm sure most fans probably already know everything stated; interviews with Tom McLoughlin, Nancy McLoughlin, Bob Larkin, David Kagen, Gabe Bartalos, Chris Biggs. When David Kagen appears on screen Sheriff is spelled with two r's kinda funny if you ask me.
MEETING MR. VOORHEES- 2:45
The original ending had Jason's father make an appearance, this feature is of storyboards and Bob Larkin who played the caretaker Martin provides the voiceovers. Even though this was only storyboards and no actual footage its still an interesting feature.
SLASHED SCENES- 6:03
This is mostly gore that was cut out and this is a carry over feature from the Crystal Lake to Manhattan set; the footage is a little rough looking, but enjoyable, since the footage is available I wish Paramount would have reinserted it into the movie or provide an option like My Bloody Valentine where you can watch the uncut version or the standard R version.
ORIGINAL THEATRICAL TRAILER- 1:40
No need to explain this one, but this is more of a teaser than an actual trailer.
TRANSFER
Jason Lives was mastered in High-Definition and the new transfer is a very mixed bag; I have the first 3 on Blu-ray and the rest on the Deluxe Edition DVDs, which are mastered in Hi-Definition and in my opinion part 3, had the worst transfer and Jason Lives probably comes in 2nd. Here's the thing though by no means does the movie look bad or anything in many areas it's an upgrade over the previous DVD releases. The picture is sharp and clear and some of the color is restored to the way it's meant to look; the blood in some parts looked like jelly where as on this DVD release the blood is the proper color of red; clothes are also another spot where it's been improved, some of the shirts lose their color in the old DVD and here they look proper and the leaves and grass are a sharp green and not dull looking like the old DVD. But where the transfer fails is it's actually quite dark; for instance go to chapter 8 where the Sheriff is lecturing his daughter, behind the sheriff is a coffee maker and we can see the coffee pot where as in the new DVD you can barley see the coffee pot and this problem happens quite a few times. Like I said in some areas this disc improves quality over the old disc, but in some areas it hurts the movie. Grain and dirt are kept very low in fact I barley noticed any grain and at the time of the DVD release the movie was 23-years old. Like I said I'd rate this as the 2nd worst transfer, but by no means does that mean it's bad. In my opinion it's far better than the HD of Friday the 13th Part 3, but besides that transfer this one was the weakest. The transfer does look good though so 2nd worst doesn't mean that it's bad it's just too dark at times. So that's why I say it's a mixed bag in some areas the transfer improves over the old and in some areas the old transfer is better.
AUDIO
5.1 Surround
2.1 Surround
The new sound mix is alright, but doesn't really enhance the movie.
FINAL WORDS ON THE DISC
Overall Jason Lives was a fairly good release; like I said the transfer is a mixed bag, but I think most fans will be pleased with this release and odds are this will be the best we ever get. The Deluxe Edition is an upgrade over the old DVD since this one at least has features, but with the transfer being mixed you might wanna still hold onto your old DVD.
