Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: The movie is concocted and carried out by folks worthy of scorn, and the nicest thing I can say is that I can't remember a single name responsible for it. Read more

John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: Expect the same-old, lame-old slasher nonsense, just with different scenery. Read more

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: The supposedly new, improved, futuristic Jason is just the same guy with a hipper hockey mask. Thumbs down. Read more

Robert K. Elder, Chicago Tribune: Jason X conjures up more giggles than scares, assuming you make it through the first 15 minutes. Read more

Dave Kehr, New York Times: Even the imaginative gore can't hide the musty scent of Todd Farmer's screenplay, which is a simple retread of the 1979 Alien, with a plucky heroine battling a monster loose in a spaceship. Read more

Melanie McFarland, Seattle Times: The 10th installment of the Friday the 13th franchise is, hands down, the worst of the worst. Read more

Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Read more

Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle: If you're a fan of the Friday the 13th series, its 10th and latest entry, Jason X, should not disappoint. Read more

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: It will come as no surprise that the movie isn't scary. But here's the real damn: It isn't funny, either. Read more

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: As we have come to learn -- as many times as we have fingers to count on -- Jason is a killer who doesn't know the meaning of the word 'quit.' The filmmakers might want to look it up. Read more

Gary Dowell, Dallas Morning News: It's a fanboy 'what if?' brought to life on the big screen. Read more

Paul Malcolm, L.A. Weekly: The gore comes with brutal regularity, so that, despite Farmer and Isaac's attempts to liven things up, the film still just wears you down. Read more

James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Murder and mayhem of this sort quickly becomes monotonous. Read more

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: A low-rent retread of the Alien pictures. Read more

Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com: Everything else Jason X tries to do has been done too, and generally a lot better. Read more

Jonathan Curiel, San Francisco Chronicle: The premise of Jason X is silly but strangely believable. Read more

St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Read more

Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: Truly terrible. Read more

Geoff Andrew, Time Out: Read more

Claudia Puig, USA Today: Jason gets a futuristic makeover and annihilates someone using a giant screwing tool. After sitting through Jason's latest exploits, the audience may find itself identifying with that victim in particular. Read more

Scott Foundas, Variety: Read more

Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: A protracted and only sporadically imaginative menu of ways to be murdered. Read more
