Again as I always do with these sequels I have to start by saying this. Jason  Voorhees is dead, he died drowning as a child in the original, all the killings  in that were done by his mother who was also killed in that film. So I will not  refer to Jason unless in inverted comma's as he is dead.  Unlike it's 4  predecessors this doesn't start with a recap but with a very obvious dream with  Tommy (Corey Feldman) from part 4 watching 2 men exhume the grave of "Jason  Voorhees" (which really should be a much smaller grave for a child!) only to  wake up as an adult being transferred from a mental institution to a Reform  centre called Pinehurst. And the odds of a mental patient being allowed to keep  a knife as a possession is zero, OK? The mask adult Tommy uses to scare Reggie  is the same mask he wore in part 4 (when his mom told him to get a  haircut).
Our mental patients are Joey (the fat guy), Vic (the macho  tough guy), Violet (the punky girl), Robin (the cute girl), Eddie (an asshole  pretty-boy joker), Tina (the slutty girl) & Jake (the stutterer). Staff are  Matt (in charge) & Pam (2nd in charge) & George aka Gramps (the cook  & Grandfather of Reggie). They are hated by redneck neighbours Ethel and her  son Junior.  1st dead is Joey (killed by Vic for being annoying), 2nd dead  is Vinny (a local wise guy), 3rd dead is his buddy Vinny (another local wise  guy). 4th dead is Billy (an orderly from the mental institute), 5th dead was  Lana (A waitress & Billy's girlfriend). 6th dead is a drifter whose name we  never got. 7th dead was Tina and 8th dead is Eddie (we assume the strap around  his head killed him).
Pam takes Reggie & Tommy to meet Demon  (Reggie's older brother, who I recognised from Return Of The Living Dead) and we  also meet his girlfriend Nita. The guy beating up Junior in the long-shots  wasn't the actor playing Tommy (he was too tall). 8th dead is Nita and Demon is  9th to die.  Pam goes off to look for Matt, George, Tommy, Eddie &  Tina. Junior is 10th dead (decapitated in his yard) closely followed by Ethel  who is 11th dead. 12th dead is Jake (we assume, never seeing it). Unlucky 13th  dead is Robin (in her bed, doing nothing) and Violet is 14th dead (just dancing  in her room). Reggie finds all the bodies of the dead patients in Tommy's  bedroom. Pam's scream sounds very fake (she's very slow to react) and finally  someone dressed as "Jason" smashes into the house.
Outside on the road  they find a hospital van containing an orderly, 15th dead. (Good goof is how The  Killer was behind them but appears in front of them by the van without ever  passing them) Pam finds Matt's body, 16th dead. She runs back to the house and  the body of George (17th dead) is thrown through a window (this has happened in  2 previous "Friday" films and is getting old).  Pam is chased by the guy  dressed as "Jason" (the stripe on his mask is the wrong colour, it's blue but  should be red) and saved by Reggie driving a bulldozer into The Killer (which  would have at least broken his ribs if not killed him). Pam fights & cuts  The Killer with a chainsaw and then Tommy finally arrives (so we now know he's  NOT The Killer), gets slashed across the chest and stabs The Killer in the thigh  with his knife. The Killer climbs the ladder FAR TOO EASILY for a man hit by a  bulldozer, slashed in the arm by a chainsaw and stabbed in the  thigh.
Reggie & Pam work together to knock The Killer out of the barn  but it takes Tommy to chop off his hand and The Killer is impaled on a  hay-bailer losing his mask revealing him as Roy, the paramedic. Joey turns out  to be his son and his death sent him over the edge.  The "Fake" death of  Pam is shown to be a nightmare of Tommy's. His final hallucination is of the  real Killer (the mask from the previous film). I find it hard to believe Tommy  would have been allowed to keep the mask Roy wore (it'd be evidence, surely?)  and there is no way they would have taken a knife with a wounded patient  either.  The weak ending is supposed to make us think that Tommy's  delusions of the "Jason" Killer of the previous movie have finally taken control  of his mind and he has become "Jason".  Really awful ending.
