Friday the 13th Part VII was awesome in my opinion. Was definately different to the rest of the series which IMHO worked better for it. I liked the fact that Jason got his ass kicked for awhile. I however HATED the ending with the dad jumping out of the water with the chain. Very lame.

The make up for Jason in Part VII was also the best of any of the series. They took into account all the trauma that Jason has endured and made his make up incredible, once again IMHO.

Part IV is still my favourite of the series (probably mostly because it was the first "real" horror/slasher film I ever saw and gave me nightmares for weeks), followed by Part III and then Part VII.
