Episode #295: Harvest Horror Fest - Friday the 13th Part III

All good and horror things must come to an end. Today is the end of our 5th Annual Harvest Horror Fest. For our last film we continue our tradition with Friday the 13th Part III. Not hockey mask related topics include dust spots, 3D for 3D sakes, and horror video games.

These movies just keep getting worse and worse and that’s hard to do! Friday the 13th Part III was an attempt to bring back 3D into the movie theaters. It might have been fun back in 1982 but it does not translate well today. There is just not a whole lot of substance to the story, the acting is really bad, and they don’t even shoot the film at Crystal Lake! There are bikers for some reason but plenty of blood and beast but what about our 3rd B? Nothing! There is maybe a little side boob but for the 80’s? Really? Side boob only? What a let down. 

Your hosts differ a bit on this one. Mike really thought Friday the 13th Part III was a bad movie awarding it only 2 out of 5 Reels. Matt on the other hand thinks this movie is bad-good. Basically the movie is so bad that it is fun which makes it good, get all that? This is also the start of what we think of when we think of Jason and the Friday the 13th franchise. Matt awards the flick an average rating of 3 out of 5 Reels.  

Next week Matt and Mike play catch up after a month of horror films. The guys head to the theaters to watch a film a couple of weeks old, Black Adam starring Dwayne Johnson and Pierce Brosnan. Thanks for listening and we will chat with you next week!
