Has been a really couple of busy weeks, so I have fallen a little behind on reviewing the Friday the 13th films. So to start the catching up, I thought it would be a good idea to live tweet Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning (1985). Check out the results.
Have fallen a little behind on my Friday the 13th reviews. So I'm gonna live tweet FRIDAY THE13TH PART V – A NEW BEGINNING #13.5tweet

Wait do hashtags not work with numbers or something? How about #fri5tweet

There we go. Woah creepy Corey Feldman is back. We want a shaved head! #fri5tweet

Dead Jason with worms coming out of his eyes jumping out of the grave and stabbin folks was prob the coolest bit of the series #fri5tweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) June 2, 2014
And of course it was a dream. And creepy Corey Feldman is now creepy some other slightly older guy #fri5tweet

Cool little bit with the mask in opening credits. Two cool bits already… trying to keep my hopes exceedingly low #fri5tweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) June 2, 2014
Especially as the 13th series is the inverse Elm Street meaning all the odd numbered films are scientifically proven to suck #fri5tweet

Hey that doctor is really hip. And by hip I mean he wears jeans. #fri5tweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) June 2, 2014
Oh man, those two who were screwing their heads off in Ethel's yard are so dead. #fri5tweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) June 2, 2014
Wow… Junior just made Randy Quaid's performance in CHRISTMAS VACATION look subtle and nuanced. #fri5tweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) June 2, 2014
Ah all is in order. This film is frickin terrible. A parody of a a slasher, though it certainly isn't aiming for that. #fri5tweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) June 2, 2014
Every teen stereotype from history is covered here. Greasers just turned up. Fatty is dead. Tough guy axed him in the back #fri5tweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) June 2, 2014
Woah! Creepy not Feldman just hit John Cena's finishing manouvere #fri5tweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) June 2, 2014
This mother/son comedy relief duo is pretty much the worst thing ever #fri5tweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) June 2, 2014
Even for later entries in a slasher franchise, these films are cheap. Cats always friggin jumping out etc. #fri5tweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) June 2, 2014
On the slightly positive side, at least this one doesn't fluff about and just starts racking up the dead bodies. #fri5tweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) June 2, 2014
Accidentally saw my number of followers the other day. Now I realise I've lost some. It's the live tweeting shit movies isn't it? #fri5tweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) June 2, 2014
The number of totally unknown randoms brutally murdered in this film is mind boggling. #fri5tweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) June 2, 2014
Hey cool, a poo joke… at least I think it was a joke. #fri5tweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) June 2, 2014
There is literally no storyline linking these random murders. I can't remember anyone's name… not even Creepy Not Feldman #fri5tweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) June 2, 2014
I never exaggerate, but Junior is the literally the worst character in the history of film. Probably all of art for that matter #fri5tweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) June 2, 2014
YES! HE JUST LOST HIS HEAD AND THEN HIS MUM GOT STABBED INTO THE STEW #fri5tweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) June 2, 2014
This is the most awkward wooing scene since I drunkenly professed my love for someone in an insurance company elevator. #fri5tweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) June 2, 2014
For those playing at home, the score is currently: unnecessarily exposed breasts 27 – characters with no names mashed 27. Close. #fri5tweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) June 2, 2014
I think next week I will live-tweet FRIDAY THE 13TH VI but use the hashtag #qanda. Everyone'e doing it. #fri5tweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) June 2, 2014
The kid is still standing. You're gonna want to shave your head and go full Feldman if you wanna survive dude. #fri5tweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) June 2, 2014
This series has no care for horror/slasher film structure. And it really shows in the weaker films like this one. #fri5tweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) June 2, 2014
Ah cock. I know I'm meant to know who 'Jason' was. But it was just one of the innumerable characters they didn't establish #fri5tweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) June 2, 2014
Well that was quite simply the worst. Better than part III, but still the absolute worse. #qanda #fri5tweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) June 2, 2014

I dig this one. Stays true to the formula, but director Danny Steinmann aims for more of an exploitation feel
Thanks for commenting. Yeah I did like some of the more exploitation elements/feel. Just really didn’t work for me overall unfortunately.
C’mon, it’s not that bad. I agree with Last Road Reviews up there.
John Cena would “overcomes the odds” in a fight with Jason Voorhees, no-sell his moves and make him tap out to the STF in less than a minute. Then, he’d give a speech about never giving up, never surrendering, and doing it all for the cancer kids. Cos he loves this business, Jack.
Haha, love your breakdown of a Cena starring Friday the 13th film. Perhaps WWE films can get their hands on the rights?
“This is the most awkward wooing scene since I drunkenly professed my love for someone in an insurance company elevator.” — hahah! Thats always such a pain in the ass.
I think I’ll skip this one well and truly. Not even seen the original, good version of Friday the 13th (working on that).
We’ve all had our insurance company elevator moments.
I personally didn’t love the first one, but plenty do. If you are looking for really fun, slightly silly 80s slashers, then I have really enjoyed numbers VI and VII of this series recently. You could jump in there.
