X marks the terrible spot
by Nick Nance, reporter

    Just when you think movies can’t get any worse, Jason X comes along and shows us they can.

   Jason X is the 10th film in the classic Friday the 13th movies, one of the most prolific, enduring and successful horror series in the history of motion picture.

   Jason X (Kane Hodder) is a huge disappointment from the start, and besides the mass carnage inflicted by Jason once again, the movie is an embarrassment to the series.

   Jason X begins in present time with government officials arguing over what was going to be done with Jason Voorhees, the killing machine.

   Rowan (Lexa Doig) wants to see Jason controlled, and the only way to do that is to freeze him. Another official wants to study Jason and his ability to regenerate.

   While attempting to move him, Jason breaks free and begins his killing rampage.

   Rowan is able to lure him into the freezing chamber where she is able to begin the process.

   Jason is able to stab her, causing them both to be frozen. Time goes by, more than 400 years in fact.

   The year is 2455; Earth has become a contaminated planet, abandoned for centuries.

   Now a brown world of violent storms, toxic landmass and poisonous seas is what remains. A group of researchers has returned to study and recover ancient rusting artifacts of the civilization that once was.

   The group soon discovers something they will wish they had not.

   They discover Rowan and Jason both frozen in time.

   With their technology, they are able to bring them to life once again.

   What follows is boring, poor acting and a disgrace to the series. Jason X is little more than a bad teen movie.

   The scenes intended to be scary are funny and ridiculous at best.

   Do not disappoint yourself with this movie; it will only ruin the image the other nine created. Jason X is a disgrace to horror films.
