This film is the first appearance of Jason Voorhees's iconic hockey mask, finally completing his transformation into a legendary cultural icon. The film itself is on par with the second, featuring much more grisly and inventive deaths. I did not like the unnecessary fifteen minute recap at the beginning, which I felt took away from the film. 

Jason becomes more of a crazy badass in this one, killing any stupid teen he can get his hands on in the most brutal way possible, from splitting a guy in half groin first to squeezing a man's head so hard his eyeball shoots into the screen (After all, this was meant to be seen in 3-D). I can see how some fans would view this as the beginning of the true Jason era, as I certainly do.

The film that not only cemented Jason Voorhees as an icon in the horror genre, but also gave him his signature head wear, the hockey mask. The film does a slight improvement over the second installment by giving us the Jason we know as an icon to this day and some of the most inventive kills in the entire history of the franchise. Some of these include a man's head being squeezed until his eye pops out, a man getting chopped in half groin first, and a harpoon shot to the eye; just to name a few. This was also the only entry to include the 3-D gimmick. 

For the most part it actually works pretty well, with tons of stuff popping out at the audience including some of the kills that happen onscreen. As long as you don't mind the red and blue glasses, then the 3-D experience can be a fun way to view the film. The only setback is that some scenes look a little fake when watched in regular 2-D. Still, this is one of my favorite entries with its highly inventive kills and giving us the iconic look of Jason Voorhees.
