Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986)”,”photo-description”:”

Jason Liveswas way ahead of its time. A full decade beforeScream, it acknowledged and satirized the clichés of the slasher film genre after a series of Friday the 13th sequels that kept trying to top themselves with increasingly outlandish kills and gore.

The majority ofFriday the 13thmovies are so poorly made they’re often unintentionally funny. TomMcLoughlin’sJason Livesscript is genuinely clever, bringing some freshness to this franchise’s rotting zombie antagonist.

Jordan Peele’s ambitious Nope follows a horse-wrangling brother-sister duo who try to capture evidence of a UFO near their California ranch.
