A somewhat routine but still rather entertaining sequel.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 14, 2024

Although Friday the 13th. Part III 3-D works on an instant gut reaction level, I don't think it can really be recommended to anyone but hard-core dyed-in-the-wool fans.

More of the same.

Suppose that you're intrigued by the special three-dimensional effects but totally repulsed by the movie's mindless carnage. Then you've got yourself a problem.

No originality to speak of here. [Full Review in Spanish]

The Friday the 13th saga continues with this typically underwhelming entry...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 23, 2015

Not since Psycho has a movie taken such advantage of the phallic nature of slasher horror. [Blu-ray]

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 25, 2009

...the casting director continued to find young performers who were wonderfully cute people and woefully bad actors.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Jun 18, 2009

With this film, there's more sex, more nudity and more creative kills.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 5, 2009

The gore is surprisingly suggestive, rather than blatant, and therefore the audience doesn't quite get what it pays for.

| Feb 20, 2009

easily the worst film in the series up until that point, partially because it was so redundant, but also because it is the most technically clumsy

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 14, 2009

The funny thing is: as lame as the story and characters are, the movie actually works as a crowd-pleasing piece of junk entertainment.

| Feb 13, 2009

Shot in such a way to capitalize on the brief fad of Reagan-era 3D movies, there's less memorable POV shots from the killer and more images from the perspective of the victims.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 4, 2009

As a tried-and-true slasher film, it has its moments, but ... it grows tedious by the end.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 9, 2008

Friday the 13th was dreadful and took in more than $17 million. Friday the 13th Part 2 was just as bad and took in more than $10 million. Friday the 13th Part III is terrible, too.

| Aug 6, 2008

So appallingly, overwhelmingly stupid that it is stupid even by the standards of the Friday the 13th franchise.

| Original Score: 1/10 | Sep 14, 2007

Another lousy 3-D gimmick that is just plain laughable on home video.

Let's see...13th x 3 = at least 39 beheadings.

Eventually, the novelty wears off, and what remains is the now-familiar spectacle of nice, dumb kids being lopped, chopped and perforated.
