Friday the 13th Part III (1982)

 The 3rd such film in as many years, both for the franchise and for me. Jason continues his killing spree and gains his signature hockey mask. The final girl from the last movie Amy Steel declined to return, so the script had to be rewritten to give new lead Dana Kimmell a separate traumatic back story. The films a little bit goofy, which I liked. In fact to my surprise I didn't hate this. Maybe it was a quirk of mood but it's badness struck me as enjoyable. Movie was  originally released in 3D so there are gimmicky shots very much composed with that in mind. *1/2
