If you didn’t realize it, the Final Chapter wasn’t the final chapter after all (so shocked!).  The Friday the 13th franchise was reborn in 1985 with A New Beginning.  

The details:

• Made in 1985
• Directed by Danny Steinmann (Danny was set to direct 5 more but this fell through and then he had a horrible bike accident and couldn’t return to directing – this was his last movie)
• Written by Martin Kitrosser (who has had a long career as a Script Supervisor on many Tarantino films including Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Inglourious Basterds), David Cohen, Danny Steinmann (Victor Miller)
• Who did I recognize in this film? Corey Feldman (little Tommy!) 

**SPOILER ALERT**

Let me say this upfront – this was my least favorite film of the five.

Jason was killed by Tommy Jarvis (Corey Feldman) in The Final Chapter.  We begin this new beginning with Corey Feldman (his hair has grown back since the last movie) and he finds the grave of Jason out in the woods when two grave robbers show up and dig him up.  When Jason is uncovered, he is obviously alive, stabs the two guys then comes after Tommy (who is hiding in the trees).  At that moment, Tommy wakes up from this nightmare (10 years later).  He’s in the back of a van clearly from a Mental Health facility.  Poor Tommy has spent his entire life in an asylum.

My problems with this film is that the characters aren’t like-able.  The only character I really care anything about is Reggie, a young boy who’s grandfather is the halfway house cook.  Reggie reminds us of young Tommy in the last movie.  Even old Tommy isn’t like-able because he continuously loses his cool and beats the shit out of people throughout this movie. He’s disturbed and crazy.  He doesn’t talk much and he constantly hallucinates that Jason is standing in front of him.  I found myself just waiting for him to snap.

Finally the real mass murdering begins.  Jason is somehow back, alive now (after 10 years) killing people.  He’s is killing everyone in sight:  The hicks down the road (who are way obnoxious and over the top).  The leather wearing teens who break down in the woods (who are very angry for no good reason).

There is pretty blatant nudity (of course) when two of the patients, Tina and Eddie, sneak off to have sex in the woods. Afterward Tina lays naked on the blanket while Eddie leaves to wash up in the stream.  While alone in the woods, Jason kills Tina.  When Eddie comes back, he’s killed (by leather strap… hm…).  None of the kills really left an impression except for Tina’s.  Jason uses gardening shears to gouge out her eyes.  

Finally at the end when Reggie and Pam, the lady who runs the halfway house, are in the barn trying to get away from Jason (Pam grabs a chainsaw to fight him off… until it dies).  Then Tommy shows up and confronts Jason.  He’s paralyzed with fear and Jason cuts him across the chest with the machete. Luckily Tommy has a switchblade which he stabs into Jason’s groin.  After a struggle they finally defeat Jason and he falls onto a spiked piece of farm equipment which punctures his body all over.  His mask comes off and it’s revealed that it hasn’t been Jason all along.  It’s Roy, the paramedic from the beginning who’s been dressing up as Jason and killing people.  He did this because his son was the guy killed in the beginning by the other disturbed kid which made him lose his mind (an entire movie of mentally disturbed people and no real Jason – doesn’t seem like a Jason movie to me then).

In the end Tommy is really losing it.  He’s in the hospital hallucinating again.  He gets up and pulls Jason’s hockey mask from the drawer.  He puts it on and is about to stab Pam… but the movie ends. So, Jason doesn’t actually exist in the world of A New Beginning and we’re lead to believe that Tommy will be the new Jason.

Well this was a treat.  A sequel with a few big names in it!  I really enjoyed it AND it actually scared me a bit.

The rundown:

• Made in 1984
• Directed by Joseph Zito
• Written by Barney Cohen (& Martin Kitrosser, Carol Watson, Ron Kurz, Victor Miller)
• Who did I recognize in this film? Corey Feldman & Crispin Glover!!
• Jason played by Ted White (uncredited)
• SFX Make Up and Supervision by Tom Savini (when he’s not acting he’s behind the scenes doing some badass special effects!)

This film also started directly following Part 3.  At the end of Part 3, Jason is dead on the ground of the barn.  In the beginning of Part 4, the medics pack him up in an ambulance and ship him off to the local hospital.  In the same fashion as the other films, Jason is not dead and he ends up waking up in the morgue, killing a doctor and a nurse who are in the middle of a little lustful argument.  Jason then heads back up to Crystal Lake where…

One of these kids is Jimmy or “Jimbo”  (played by Crispin Glover).  I love the scene when the carload of them is headed up to the house and Jimmy’s friend is helping him figure out how to make it work with women.  He types something into “the old computer” – which is funny in itself because this is 1984. The computer acts almost like a magic 8-ball and Teddy jokes with Jimmy that the computer says he’s “a dead fuck” aka “a lousy lay.”  Nice foreshadowing… because we didn’t already figure he’d make it out alive.  

Speaking of Tina… she’s one of the twins in this film: Tina and Terri.  You can never go wrong with hot twins (note sarcasm). Tina is a slut and Terri isn’t but she tries her best to put up with Jimmy’s best friend, Ted, but she leaves him alone with a “Teddy” bear watching some black and white films from way back when of women at the lake dancing around mostly nude.  He gets killed obviously.  The rest of the teens get killed in the typical way of the other films.  

Let’s take a moment to talk about Tommy’s bedroom. Tommy has a hobby of making scary masks and creatures.  I suppose his room looks a lot like Tom Savini’s SFX house.  The room is littered with scary masks and limbs, etc.  The kid is obviously very creative and talented.  So they barricade themselves in the room but Jason hacks the door with an axe.  Luckily in a moment of panic, Tricia grabs a TV and bashes it over Jason’s head (she must have been strong since that 80s TV was probably heavy as hell).  The TV seems to electrocute Jason and he sprawls out cold on the floor in the hallway.  

But like the Jason we all know, he isn’t dead.  He wakes up and chases Tricia downstairs where he comes close to killing her.  Tommy is inspired (by the news clippings he found earlier) and soon appears at the bottom of the stairs with a shaved head and grey face.  He now looks like a young Jason.  Using this tactic he is able to get Jason’s attention and while he turns his back to Tricia, she stabs him with the machete.  Jason lays dead on the floor…  but then Jason stirs again, young Tommy grabs the machete and hacks away at Jason’s body in somewhat of a psychotic fit.

I’m happy to announce the screening of two great short films (yes I produced them both but I firmly believe they are amazing and you will be impressed).  This screening brings together A Boy’s Life by LA based Eli Benavidez and The Drought by NYC based Kevin Slack.  These two emerging writer/directors are creatives to watch out for in the near future.  They are doing inspiring and artistic things in the world of film.  

Join us tomorrow night for the screening – Monday, August 15, 2011 at 8pm at Raleigh Studios, Chaplin Theatre.

**RSVP Here**

Attendees will also get a sneak peek at something from Hopelessly In June, Replaced and a premiere of a PSA by Raphe Wolfgang.

We look forward to seeing you all there!

I decided to watch Parts 2 and 3 back to back and post about them together… because I heard that 3 literally picks up right where 2 ends.  

A bit about these two films:

Part 2

• Made in 1981
• Directed by Steve Miner
• Written by Ron Kurz (& Victor Miller)
• Who did I recognize in this film?Adrienne King (from Part 1!) who plays Alice Hardy
• Jason played by Warrington Gillette

Part 3

• Made in 1982
• Directed by Steve Miner
• Written by Martin Kitrosser, Carol Watson (& Ron Kurz, Victor Miller)
• Who did I recognize in this film? No one really.
• Jason played by Richard Brooker

In an earlier post I admitted to never having seen most of the early horror films that we now consider classics.  That includes the Friday the 13th franchise.  Since we’re making Love in the Time of Monsters AND I’ll be working with Kane Hodder (he plays Lou and he’s our stunt coordinator for the film) I figured there is no better time to do a little bit of horror film research.  Rob Gokee actually owns all 13 of them (at least I think there are 13 including the doc – which makes total sense).  So, I watched the first one.

The quick details for Friday the 13th 

• Made in 1980 
• Directed by Sean S. Cunningham (producer of Last House on the Left in 1972  - an extremely disturbing film)
• Written by Victor Miller (he has also written all of the others in this franchise… and he’s written for All My Children and a few other Soaps – I find this hysterical)
• Who did I recognize in this film? Kevin Bacon!

By the way, isn’t the art work for the film just awesome?  Gotta love it.

**SPOILER ALERT** (I’m just being nice.  I think 30 years is plenty of time to reveal spoilers so deal!)

My overall experience was really fun.  Of course after all these years I basically know the story of Jason Voorhees and his mother.  I didn’t really know details but I wasn’t surprised when Mrs. Voorhees announced herself.  I found the movie extremely entertaining, however, it was a lot more fun when the last girl standing was trying to escape Mrs. V.  All of the other characters who were killed earlier had no idea that someone was after them.  The creep-factor came with us knowing someone was lurking and watching them and would eventually kill them all.  But they all hung out, fooled around, ate, drank, got naked and then suddenly killed.  Not in that order but you get the point.  

When the last girl standing, Alice, realized that all of her friends were dead and that there was a killer, it was a lot of fun to watch.  I enjoyed yelling and laughing at her – she was so silly in her efforts to get away.  I would have bashed Mrs. V’s head in the first chance I got… probably with that frying pan or the baseball bat.  Why barricade yourself in a cabin and stand next to a window?  Silly girl.  And let’s talk about the killer.  She was an unrelenting psycho, wasn’t she?  She got around quickly and kept coming back for more despite her age and getting hit multiple times by Alice.  Also, how did she keep that baby blue cable-knit sweater so blood-free?  I’d love to know.

Creepiest part: when Mrs. Voorhees speaks as if she’s Jason, “Killer her, Mommy. Kill her.”

Funniest part: when Jason launches out of the lake and grabs Alice from the canoe.  (it’s not supposed to be funny mind you)

Cheesiest line: from Kevin Bacon’s character (a random camp counselor who was way more interested in hooking up with his girlfriend to really know anything about the weather). He said, ” Wind’s coming, shifted a whole 180 degrees.” before running up into a cabin to have sex.   What the hell?  Who says things like that or NOTICES things like that? Cracked me up.

Music laugh: At the end when Alice is in the canoe and the “happy” music is playing.  That music was awesomely horrible.  I was laughing so hard and it made the moment when Jason appeared even more hysterical.

Film Strategy: I really liked the POV camera angle as a device to hide the killer from us.  I loved that the hitchhiker in the beginning actually got in the car with the killer and spoke to her, looked at her, all the while we have no clue who it is… that was great.

Now to watch the rest.  Check back for more reviews of the entire franchise.  I’m serious.  I’m determined to watch them all.  Let me know what you think below!

I think back to the 80s and early 90s… my sisters and I were big into movies and had a huge collection of tapes (VHS) in drawers.  They were mostly recorded movies and shows off of the television.  We watched them over and over.  I know my parents wouldn’t let us watch scary movies – or at least they would attempt to keep us from watching.  ”No way!” to Friday the 13th, Halloween, Chucky, Gremlins, etc.  However, movies like Howard the Duck and The Peanut Butter Solution, Dark Crystal, Interview with a Vampire and Labyrinth were okay – though watching them now as an adult I wonder how these movies slipped past my parents. Other films I did see: Poltergeist I, II, and III, The Exorcist, Silence of the Lambs, Pet Sematary, It, Tremors, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Death Becomes Her, The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, Frankenstein, The Craft, Fear, Scream….  You get the picture.

So what draws me to Love in the Time of Monsters?  Well, it’s a great script for one (thanks to long time friend, Michael Skvarla).  Second, the leads are women and they rock.  Third, the themes of the movie are sacrifice, courage, forgiveness, and Zombie Bigfoots.  (Okay Zombie Bigfoots isn’t a theme but it should be!!)  Fourth, the amazing people we’re pulling together for this film.  It’s guaranteed to be fantastic. 

Introducing the director, Matt Jackson, a good friend and dedicated filmmaker – I’m so excited to watch him on this journey!  Andy Gunn – Producer and ring-leader – I worked with Andy and Matt on Background(ed) about 4 years ago and after numerous awards and festivals I’m happy to be making another film with them.  

Our Cast: So far we’ve got Kane Hodder – the guy who has played Jason in the last four Friday the 13th movies.  Kane is also our stunt coordinator and he’s bringing along a bunch of his best stunt guys to play a handful of other key stunt performing roles in the film.  We’ve got Doug Jones – the guy who has played a million creatures (okay a million is a slight exaggeration) such as Fauno in Pan’s Labyrinth and Abe Sapien in Hellboy.  The rest of our cast is growing – more juicy details to come in the near future.

Then we’ve got behind-the-scenes guys and girls with credits such as Thor, Hatchet, The Avengers, Transformers, Jeepers Creepers, and Dragon Age.  Every day we are joined by more and more skilled and gifted people.  And the best part – as if that wasn’t enough, they are all damn cool, down to earth people and I’m excited to spend a few weeks up in the redwoods with them all.  We may never return.

So just to recap: Love in the Time of Monsters is oozing awesome.
