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
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
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
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: Truly terrible. 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
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: A protracted and only sporadically imaginative menu of ways to be murdered. Read more
