I have to start by saying Jason Voorhees died drowning as a child, the killings at Crystal Lake were done by his mother who died in the 1st film and will be referred to as either "Jason", The Killer or Hockey mask. This film is similar to part 5 in that is doesn't start with a recap of the previous films and has a new actor playing Tommy. We are supposed to assume this follows on from part 5 as he is being taken by a nurse to destroy the corpse of "Jason". Clearly this nurse doesn't know he escaped hospital in the previous film and doesn't question why Tommy has the proper "Jason" mask (which he didn't have, he had Roy's mask with the blue stripe so they made a mistake already).
The lightning hitting the metal fence rod is VERY unlikely (so another mistake and the plot derailed from this point). 1st dead is Allen Hawes The Nurse. tommy drives to the local sheriff in Forest Green (formerly Crystal Lake!) and admits to grave robbery and is put in jail. The next people we see are 2 camp councilors on their way to Camp Forest Green and run into Hockey Mask, 2nd dead is Darren the male councilor. 3rd dead is Lizabeth the female councilor.
We are then introduced to a group of kids working at Camp Forest Green who come to tell the Sheriff (he is Megan's father) that the 2 main councilors are missing. This is the 1st "Friday" movie where The Killer has actually been seen in daylight. Filling the standard role of Crazy Old Man (there's one in every part) is Martin, The Cemetery Caretaker. Megan implies today is Friday The 13th (so his 1st 3 victims were all killed on Thursday 12th, the WRONG DAY, IDIOT!) and a bus full of kids arrive at the Camp.
We are then introduced to Larry & Stan who are paint balling in the woods of Forest Green, I assume the guy with the machete who is 4th to die is the "Bert" that Larry & Stan were talking about. Larry, Stan & the unknown female executive are 5th, 6th and 7th to die. (We never see if Roy dies) Tommy decides to go check the cemetery as the police are escorting him out of the county and he is captured and driven out of Forest Green by the sheriff & Rick, his deputy.
Right, the young adults working at the camp are Cort (the buff huge ego guy), Megan (the sheriff's daughter), Sissy (the feisty black girl) and Paula (the Molly Ringwald lookalike). We then meet Steven & Annette picnicking in the forest and Martin is 8th to die. Steven & Annette are 9th & 10th to die. Paula & Sissy go to check out a scream which turns out to be young Nancy (who thinks the monster was "real, like on TV" and deserves to die for saying that). Nikki (the girl Cort was screwing in the Winnebago) is 11th to die & Cort is 12th to die (pretty stupid of The Killer as he was driving, and where DID The Killer get that tool-belt he was wearing?). Deputy Rick finds the bodies of Darren & Lizabeth and The Sheriff leaves Megan alone in the jail to go join Rick.
Tommy phones there and Megan goes to join him. By this time The Killer has reached the camp. Some limbs of one of the paint ballers is also found by Rick. The Killer cuts the camp phone lines (pointless as The Sheriff's office is empty anyway) & Sissy is unlucky 13th to die. The Killer scares Nancy (carrying Sissy's corpse past the cabin window) & Megan & Tommy are corralled into a roadblock and caught by her father. Nancy finds The Killer's machete and takes it to Paula who takes her back her cabin. The bodies of Cort & Nikki are found and Tommy is finally given an alibi by Megan. Paula finds the phone out and the machete gone and is the 14th to die. (There are now NO live adults at the Camp to protect or watch the kids). Megan tricks Rick, frees Tommy and locks Rick up so they can escape to banish the soul of Jason.
Tommy does at least admit Jason died in Crystal Lake (In 1957 he says) and they intend to banish The Killer by sending him to the same place and fate. The sheriff and 2 other cops arrive at the camp to check things out. The Blonde Cop is 15th dead & the dark hair cop with the mustache is 16th dead after trying to comfort Nancy. The Killer is shot 6 times by The Sheriff (and had been shot by the dark hair cop at least 5 times) and runs into the woods as Megan & Tommy arrive. Tommy goes to the pier (finding the dead blonde cop) leaving heavy chains in a boat. Megan's voice attracts The Killer and The Sheriff attacks him (unarmed! idiot!) and is 17th dead for his troubles. Tommy ties the the chains on a huge rock & waits for The Killer who goes for the kids, spares Megan and goes out to Tommy wading into and under the water (which according to Tommy's theory SHOULD have killed him there and then). Tommy sets fire to the water (with gasoline) and fights with The Killer who jumped onto the boat.
Tommy gets the chain tight around The Killer's neck as the boat sinks and is strangled underwater, Megan dices The Killer with the boat propeller and he is 18th dead. Megan brings Tommy ashore and gives him CPR meaning Tommy Jarvis has now survived 3 movies. The film ends showing the chained body of "Jason" with an eye open so the undead is still undead and Tommy's idea failed. A weak ending.
So much for "Jason Lives", eh?
