The Friday the 13th series is one of the most well-known horror movie franchises, with many considering it part of the slasher genre’s “trinity” alongside Halloween and A Nightmare on Elm Street. Despite this renown, the series isn’t exactly known for particularly well-received movies. Ironically, one of its more contentious entries was actually a great example of the franchise’s potential.Friday the 13th: A New Beginning was the fifth movie in the series, though its villain wasn’t exactly Jason Voorhees. This sullied the movie in the eyes of fans, but the film actually raised the bar in terms of overall grade. It and its follow-up were a brief bright spot in quality, making the Friday with the fake Jason a real gem.Taking place years after the events of Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (which was thus made into a far less than conclusive entry), A New Beginning followed a much older Tommy Jarvis. Still traumatized by his near-death experiences involving Jason Voorhees, he’s sent to a group home that soon becomes the site of several murders. These make some fear that Jason Voorhees has returned from the dead, with his latest suspected defeat seemingly not being permanent. Given that Tommy is still so afraid of the evil wraith of Crystal Lake, this threat makes a lot of sense.RELATED: Why Blumhouse’s Friday the 13th Can’t Follow the Halloween 2018 Template
