A NEW DIMENSION IN TERROR… THERE WILL BE NOWHERE TO HIDE. WE DARE YOU TO TRY.

On the day after the gruesome killings in chapter two, Jason Vorhees attacks a local couple and then finds another group of teenagers to terrorize.

It seems natural for the producers of this franchise to have the third film full of 3D effects; that’s a shot in the arm for a series gone stale already. Another plus is the fact that this is the first time Jason dons a hockey mask.

Too bad though that director Steve Miner and his team keep mining the previous films rather than coming up with new stuff.

1982-U.S. 96 min. Color. Widescreen. Directed by Steve Miner. Cast: Dana Kimmell (Chris), Paul Kratka (Rick), Tracie Savage (Debbie), Jeffrey Rogers, Catherine Parks, Larry Zerner. 

Trivia: Followed by Friday the 13th – The Final Chapter (1984).
