Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe house, barn, and lake were all purpose-built on location. The man-made lake wasn't properly sealed, and, subsequently, the water drained into the soil during the first week of filming.
- GoofsJason has no wound in his shoulder, despite being stabbed deeply with the machete at the end of Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981), which took place the day before.
- Crazy creditsOpening credits leap out at you in 3D.
- Alternate versionsThe new broadcast television print, as seen on Spike TV, not only removes all references to Debbie being pregnant, but it also removes many of Chuck and Chili's opening scenes to omit the minor marijuana references. In fact, the first time we see either of them is when the whole group is standing over the old man in the road.

Featured review
Not the best
This Friday the 13th wasn't needed in my opinion. It wasn't original or any memorable scenes that stand out. It changes the formula a little bit by supplying Jason with a new mask and has him target a group of friends who decided to enjoy the outdoors for the weekend. The characters seemed more fleshed out with a comedian, an athlete, a princess and two hippies who look way older then anyone else in the group. How they met or if they were meant to be older then they look may never be known. It was the first to introduce a barn and gang members that will appear in different formats as the series progresses and does seem to be a staple even though it's the lamest of the bunch. Since the film was inspired by Halloween anyways they could've continued on from the second film and answered the unresolved questions it posed. But time for that has come and gone. Others may enjoy it, but it wasn't for me.
