Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe house, barn, and lake were all purpose-built on location. The man-made lake wasn't properly sealed, and, subsequently, the water drained into the soil during the first week of filming.
- GoofsJason has no wound in his shoulder, despite being stabbed deeply with the machete at the end of Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981), which took place the day before.
- Crazy creditsOpening credits leap out at you in 3D.
- Alternate versionsThe new broadcast television print, as seen on Spike TV, not only removes all references to Debbie being pregnant, but it also removes many of Chuck and Chili's opening scenes to omit the minor marijuana references. In fact, the first time we see either of them is when the whole group is standing over the old man in the road.

Featured review
So finally the Friday 13th franchise begins to take shape, Jason finds his signature hockey mask and appears to be a more competent monster like killer.
Another group of kids go out to the cabins and you know the rest. Sadly once again there really is no story at all and by the time anyone is aware of Jasons spree were down to the token "Final girl" I believe this third part to be a step up from the first two and you can see real development but ultimately these iconic movies are extremely dated and not far off being just another camp slasher.
Friday the 13th Part III was released when the 3D fad was going again and it shows, several scenes throughout the film are blatantly implemented for those with the ridiculous looking glasses.
As part of the franchise this is watchable stuff, but if you've seen the previous 2 or for that matter any camp slasher you'll know exactly what's coming.
The Good:
Jason Voorhees is taking shape
The Bad:
Very generic stuff
