Jason may not quite be in it, but A LOT of people die in Part 5.
The fourth installment in the Friday the 13th franchise may not have truly been “The Final Chapter,” but it was the final film in the franchise that featured a living Jason Voorhees; when the masked maniac returned in Jason Lives, he was “undead”. In between those two films came 1985’s Friday the 13th: A New Beginning, which attempted to move on from the story of Jason.
Like Halloween 3, Friday 5 proved to be a one-shot deal, but you have to admire the franchise’s bold choice of releasing a sequel that didn’t actually have Jason in it. Or maybe it wasn’t so much a bold choice as it was a dumb one. The jury is still out on that one. But no matter how you slice it, A New Beginning ain’t too shabby – and it had the series’ highest body count to that point.
An impressive 22 people die in A New Beginning, giving it a kill every 4-minutes on average. But which kill was the best? The worst? Check out a full analysis of all 22 in the latest “Kill Count”!
