Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning, 1985)

"Jason Voorhees? You're out of your fucking mind, you've been out in the sun too long! Jason Voorhees is dead! His body was cremated, he's nothing but a handful of ash."

"You know that for sure, mayor? Were you there? Did you see him cremated?"

NECA released a Jason Voorhees action figure based on Friday the 13th: A New Beginning last year, but at Toy Fair the company revealed one of the film’s imposter Jason, Roy Burns. It’s due out in the second quarter of 2019.

The deluxe 7" scale action figure features over 25 points of articulation and includes removable hockey mask, cleaver, hunting knife, machete, garden shears, road flare, railroad spike, and more. It comes packaged in a window box with opening flap.

Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (1985)

So here’s a bit of unfortunate news for you: Jason isn’t in this movie. They apparently tried TWICE to take these movies away from Jason and closer to “Friday the 13th” spooks and failed. This is the second movie where Jason is not the killer. In his own franchise! This movie is about Tommy, the little boy from the previous movie, dealing with murders in his halfway house. Jason appears in an opening scene nightmare. (So does Corey Feldman.) This movie is really not that bad. And the killer seems so obvious, until you realize you’re wrong. I was surprised. There was some humor in it as well and it made me uncomfortable.

Rating: F. In solidarity with Jason.

Can you believe we’re living in a world where NECA made an Ultimate Roy Burns? I know I can’t and I’ve had this figure for almost a year now.

With a STUNNING likeness to Dick Wieand, a great expression under the mask, strong articulation, and a unique look, I easily recommend adding Roy Burns to your Friday the 13th collection. On a shelf that’s probably full of Jasons, he’ll definitely stand out.

The One Without Jason: Re-Visiting FRIDAY THE 13TH: A NEW BEGINNING

This could be the first decade without a new Friday the 13th film since the original debuted in 1980. Fortunately, we can always re-visit the sequels that Paramount released over the 1980s and 1990s. Today also happens to mark the thirty-third anniversary of Friday the 13th: A New Beginning.

Five films into the franchise, Paramount asked the question to which no one wanted an answer: What if you made a Friday the 13th film and Jason never came? Now after over 30 years, it’s time to revisit a film that deserves more appreciation than it originally received.

A New Direction

Though the fourth film was titled The Final Chapter, it had the highest opening weekend box office in the franchise to that point, guaranteeing one more sequel. This time, Paramount made the controversial decision to move ahead without Jason Voorhees. John Carpenter took Halloween in a different reaction with Season of the Witch to poor results. Similarly, fans criticized Freddy’s Revenge for diverging too much from the original.

Audiences were just as disappointed with A New Beginning. The screenplay, credited to several writers, hinted that Tommy Jarvis would take over as the new “Jason”. It was an interesting premise that offered new potential for the franchise. Director Danny Steinmann also put more effort into character development than prior entries. Steinmann’s silent Tommy Jarvis is haunted by visions of Jason and institutionalized in a youth mental health facility. Replacing Corey Feldman, John Shepherd showed a lot of intensity and offered a real foil to “Jason’” for the first time.

“This time, Paramount made the controversial decision to move ahead without Jason Voorhees..”

Unfortunately, the screenplay never committed to Tommy as Friday’s new killer. The film’s ending felt appropriately creepy and open-ended. Nonetheless, Steinmann missed an opportunity with Shepherd’s more physical Tommy. In one scene, Tommy brutally beats Junior, a character who has regularly harassed the facility’s patients. This is arguably one of the best scenes in the film. In addition, the scene teased an exciting confrontation between Tommy and the “Jason” imposter. Regrettably, Steinmann never followed through on this promise for whatever reason.

youtube

A Flock of Red Herrings

With a larger cast than the earlier films, Steinmann did his best to introduce as many red herrings as possible. A New Beginning does try to include an element of mystery, distinguishing it from the other sequels. In this sense, A New Beginning feels a little more like the original Friday the 13th. Steinmann and the screenplay are just a little heavy-handed with their execution. Most of these red herrings involve comical close-ups of characters scowling or staring emptily into the camera.

Dick Wieand, who plays paramedic Roy, was very much ready for his close-up. He mugs shamelessly for the camera when he is on screen. However, I would argue that its these little quirks that make A New Beginning a guilty pleasure. It never reaches the levels of self-parody as Jason Lives, but it never takes itself too seriously.

High Body Count

According to Peter M Bracke, author of Crystal Lake Memories, A New Beginning was called “Repetition” during filming. As it turns out, this is an accurate title for a film that repeats its plot of “introduce a character”, “nudity and/or sex”, folllowed by “kill”, over and over. A New Beginning had the highest body count in the franchise until Jason Goes to Hell was released.

Despite its high body count, most of the butchering occurred offscreen in A New Beginning. With the growing number of slashers released in the 1980s, the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) got strict with onscreen violence. Not surprisingly then, the MPAA ordered heavy edits to most of the death scenes in A New Beginning. As a result, the MPAA seriously compromised Steinmann’s vision.

The MPAA may not have liked graphic violence, but they certainly did not have a problem with nudity. A New Beginning features a lot of sex and nudity, even by the standards of a 1980s horror film. Audiences may miss Jason, but between the frequent death and sex scenes, Friday fans will never be bored.

Unintentionally Fun Humour and an Unfairly Dismissed Sequel

An unexpected highlight of A New Beginning was some odd but unintentionally fun humour scattered over its runtime. A demented hillbilly and her dimwitted son provide some early laughs. Goth patient Violent does her best to outdo Crispin Glover’s dance performance from The Final Chapter with a little robot dance. A couple also serenade one another while using a porta-potty. These idiosyncratic moments make this sequel stand out a little from some of the subsequent sequels released in the later 1980s.

Overall, fans unfairly dismissed A New Beginning on its initial release. There was probably more chopping done in the editing room than on screen, but this Friday entry is still brisk and fun. At the very least, Paramount learned from its mistake, ensuring Jason was resurrected for the next sequel. With a Friday the 13th coming just around the corner in April, I would always still recommend including A New Beginning in any marathon you might be planning.

Franchise Guide: Friday The 13th

In the original Friday the 13th (1980), Mrs. Pamela Voorhees (Betsy Palmer) stalks and murders the teenagers preparing Camp Crystal Lake for re‑opening. She is determined to ensure that the camp does not reopen after her son Jason (Ari Lehman) drowned in the lake due to the negligence of two staff members. The last counselor, Alice Hardy (Adrienne King), fends off Mrs. Voorhees long enough to grab a machete and decapitate her.

In Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981), Jason (Steve Daskewisz/Warrington Gillette) is revealed to be alive and fully grown. After killing Alice Hardy, Jason returns to Crystal Lake to guard it from all intruders. Five years later, a group of teenagers arrive at Crystal Lake to set up a new camp, but Jason murders them. Ginny Field (Amy Steel), the last counselor Jason attempts to kill, finds a cabin in the woods with a shrine built around the severed head of Mrs. Voorhees. Ginny fights back and slams a machete through Jason's shoulder. Jason is left for dead as Ginny is taken away in an ambulance

Friday the 13th Part III (1982), Jason (Richard Brooker) removes the machete from his shoulder and finds his way to Chris Higgins' (Dana Kimmell) local homestead. Chris returns to her property with some friends, and Jason kills anyone who wanders into the barn where he is hiding. Taking a hockey mask from a victim to hide his face, Jason leaves the barn to kill the rest of the group. Chris seemingly kills Jason with an axe to his head, but the night's events drive her into hysteria as the police take her away.

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984) continues where Part III leaves off, with Jason (Ted White) found by the police and taken to the local morgue after removing the axe. Upon arrival, Jason kills the coroner and a nurse before returning to Crystal Lake. A group of friends rent a house on Crystal Lake and fall victim to Jason's rampage. After killing the teens, Jason seeks out Trish (Kimberly Beck) and Tommy Jarvis (Corey Feldman), who live next door. While distracted by Trish, Jason is attacked and killed by Tommy

Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (1985) follows Tommy Jarvis (John Shepherd), who was committed to a mental health institution after the events of The Final Chapter and grew up constantly afraid that Jason (Tom Morga) would return. Roy Burns (Dick Wieand) uses Jason's persona to become a copycat killer at the halfway home to which Tommy has moved. Tommy, supervisor Pam (Melanie Kinnaman), and a young boy named Reggie (Shavar Ross) manage to defeat Roy. They eventually learn that Roy had a son who was murdered by one of the patients at the institution, triggering Roy to take on Jason's likeness and kill everyone there.

Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986) begins with Tommy (Thom Mathews) visiting Jason's grave after being released from another mental institution. Tommy inadvertently resurrects Jason (C. J. Graham) with a piece of the fence surrounding the cemetery acting as a lightning rod. Jason immediately heads back to Crystal Lake and kills the people working at the new summer camp. Tommy eventually chains Jason to a boulder that he tosses into the lake, where he leaves Jason to die.

Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988) begins an indeterminate length of time after Jason Lives. Jason (Kane Hodder) is resurrected again, this time by the telekinetic Tina Shepard (Lar Park Lincoln), who is trying to resurrect her father who drowned in the lake when Tina was a child. Jason once again begins killing those who occupy Crystal Lake and is returned to the bottom of the lake after a battle with Tina

Jason is resurrected again in Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989) by an underwater electrical cable. He follows a group of students on their senior class cruise to Manhattan, where he kills the ship's crew and the majority of the students. Upon reaching Manhattan, Jason chases Rennie (Jensen Daggett) and Sean (Scott Reeves), the two remaining students, into the sewers. Jason eventually melts away because the sewer is flooded with toxic waste.

In Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993), Jason, through an unexplained resurrection, is hunted by the FBI at Crystal Lake. The FBI sets up a sting that successfully kills Jason. Through possession, Jason manages to survive by passing his black heart from one being to the next. It is revealed that he has a sister and a niece, and that he needs them to get his body back. Jason resurrects himself, but his niece, Jessica Kimble (Kari Keegan), stabs him with a mystical dagger and he is dragged into Hell.

Jason X (2001) takes place in the future, when Jason has again been inexplicably resurrected. A scientist, Rowan Lafontaine (Lexa Doig), decides that cryonic suspension is the only method of stopping him, but Jason breaks free and kills the army personnel guarding him before he can be again imprisoned. Rowan manages to lure Jason into the cryo‑chamber, but he ruptures the tank and freezes both himself and Rowan. Over 400 years later, a team of students studying Earth discover Jason's body and take it into space. Upon being thawed by the team, he proceeds to murder everyone aboard the spacecraft. He is seemingly killed, but is then resurrected via nanotechnology as a cyborg version of himself. Finally, he is ejected into space and incinerated by Earth Two's atmosphere, his mask falling to the bottom of a lake

The next Friday the 13th film, Freddy vs. Jason (2003), was a crossover with A Nightmare on Elm Street. Set in the contemporary period, Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) resurrects Jason (Ken Kirzinger) and sends him to Springwood hoping that he will create enough fear among the residents that Freddy will be strong enough to invade their dreams. Jason accomplishes this but refuses to stop killing. A battle ensues both in the dream-world and at Crystal Lake. The outcome is left ambiguous, as Jason surfaces from the lake holding Freddy's severed head, which winks and laughs.

In 2009, a new Friday the 13th film which restarted the film series continuity was released. In this film, after witnessing his mother being beheaded at a young age, an adult Jason (Derek Mears) follows in her footsteps and kills anyone who comes to Crystal Lake. Jason subsequently kidnaps a young woman, Whitney Miller(Amanda Righetti), who resembles his mother at a young age. Six weeks after her disappearance, her brother, Clay Miller (Jared Padalecki), comes to look for her. The pair reunite and work together to seemingly kill Jason.
