Tommy Jarvis is still plaqued by the memories of Jason Voorhees.  So, he and
a friend (Ron Palillo - that's right, he's "Horshack" to you) decide to dig
up his grave and make sure he's dead.  Sounds like a good plan to me.  So
they find his grave and dig it up.  Open up the coffin, and what do you see
...?   Jason's rotting corpse, complete with crawling worms.  yummy.  Then
Tommy gets upset and rips an iron spear out of the cemetery fence (?) and
stabs Jason's body repeatedly in the chest.  Leaving the spear in his chest
wasn't the best idea, as it has started raining, and lightning strikes,
sending tons of electricity right into Mr. Voorhee's heart.  And we all know
that lightning will bring a corpse back to life!  Jason awakens, offs
Horshack, and gets his mask back (that was nice of Tommy to bring it for
him).  Tommy quickly escapes, and now Jason is on the warpath.

Of course this beginning doesn't solve any of the questions we're left with
at the end of part V, but I guess we shouldn't expect any continuity in this
series.

Tommy reports that Jason is back to the local cops, who don't believe him,
and imprison him.  While trying to convince the police of their mistake, he
also has time to woo the sheriff's daughter.  Meanwhile, Jason is roaming
the woods killing anyone in his way - camp counselors, paintballers, a
couple in love (can you think of a more romantic place to propose than the
woods around Crystal Lake?), and of course the drunk caretaker.  Jason is
stronger now, and seemingly unstoppable (it's amazing what a little
electricity will do for you).

Tommy is able to escape and gets help from Megan (the sheriff's daughter) to
put his plan into action to get rid of Jason once and for all, by returning
him to his initial final resting place.  Jason has now made it to Camp
Crys... I mean Camp Forest Green... and the counselors and children are in
danger.  Tommy, Megan, and the police dept will have their hands full trying
to stop this undead killing machine.

Part VI introduces us to zombie Jason.  No longer a man or mutant, he is the
walking, stalking dead.  It's good to have him back after the boring part V,
but this installment is all that good, either.  They've attempted to put
humor into the movie, and for the most part it doesn't work.  The
tongue-in-cheek jokes are all pretty bad, and the goofy characters are just
asking to get killed (I guess that's the point).  There are some interesting
kills - like Jason beheading three people with one swing, or the
head-twist-off, or the human pretzel - but the gore seems to have been
edited out for the most part.  Booo.  But, it was entertaining, and this
Tommy Jarvis was better than the last one.  And CJ Graham does a good job as
Jason.
