Well, hello there, kind folks. If you’re visiting this blog of mine, I presume that you have a certain interest in the cinema. As for me, even since my early childhood, I have had a deep love of everything related to movies and television. As far as I can remember, I have been more at ease in front of a screen than in the yard, outside, playing. It is a great way to travel, though other people’s stories, without having to foot any kind of steep bill. Over the years, I feel that movie-watching has even fuelled my own creativity.

All that being said, I welcome you in my Cinephile’s Nest. I hope you enjoy it here, feel free to come back at any time. Here you will find reviews of current movies and older ones. TV shows also. Some classics that have remained some of my favourites, some that have disappointed me. I will use a very basic star (*) system to grade them from 1 to 5 (5 being sliced bread level). Remember, these are just my tastes. I will try to explain in each review what I liked about these particular movies, without giving spoilers.

Il y aura aussi des critiques en français pour les films francophones, car j'aime également le cinéma dans ma langue maternelle. Avant d'apprendre l'anglais, plus jeune, je louais des tonnes de films traduits en français, surtout ceux de Bud Spencer et Terrence Hill. Ma mère a eu le choc de sa vie lorsqu'un jour, dans la boîte d'un de ces films, Deep Throat avait malencontreusement inséré. Une expérience formatrice pour le jeune cinéphile que je suis.

Bienvenue à tous, amusez-vous bien.

I welcome you all here, enjoy yourself.

Friday the 13th Part III (1982)

 

Genre: Horror
Directed by: Steve Miner
Starring: Dana Kimmell, Paul Krafka, Tracie Savage 
 Running time: 95 minutes


 

After the events of the second film, an injured Jason Voorhees take refuge in the area near Crystal Lake. He kills a store owner and his wife for a change of clothes. When Chris Higgins and a group of her friends come to the area for a weekend away of partying and fun, Jason goes back on the hunt trying to kill them off one by one.

This is the first film where Jason Voorhees appears with the infamous hockey mask, that became a huge part of his look and of the mystique of the franchise. What a great choice it was. In the second film, Jason looked a scared kid sneaking around. Here, he looks like a true monster and like a dangerous predator. In terms of horror movie effectiveness, it was a solid move.

With this third installment in the franchise, they also managed to write better material and to have better actors to deliver it on screen. Overall, this is a very entertaining horror movie.
