IMDb Summary: Plagued by memories of his past, Tommy Jarvis, who famously ended the life of Jason Voorhees as a child, finds himself at a remote halfway house in the countryside. There, the murder of a young man sets off a terrifying spree of killings in the area.
According to Tomatometer ratings, A New Beginning ranks among the least acclaimed films in the Friday the 13th series, scoring a mere 18%. It finds itself in the company of other low-rated installments like Jason Goes to Hell (16%), Jason Takes Manhattan (11%), and the notably panned Part III (7%).
Interesting Tidbit: Corey Feldman had initially hoped to be a part of Friday The 13th: A New Beginning, but fate, and a certain legendary director, had other plans.
“Sadly, Spielberg threw a wrench in our plans because he decided he wanted me in a few of his films,” Feldman recalls in Crystal Lake Memories. “I was reluctantly pulled into a small project called Goonies and couldn’t fully commit to Friday the 13th Part 5 as I had hoped.”
