It's got a lot of great ideas, but the editing and pacing suck so bad that I find myself bored. It also doesn't help that there is no impact to some random dude you saw in two quick scenes be Jason. It should have been Tommy OR they should have actually built Roy up.

You make some good points...really, the reveal of Roy as the killer was total bullshit, as there was no way anyone would even remember that guy. Roy was nothing but a background player and nothing more. Yeah, he glares at the camera for a second which I guess is the director's brilliant way of dropping a "hint," but Roy was no Tyler Durden, I'll give you that. Building up Roy more or making the killer Tommy (which would have been fun but too obvious) would have been better.

Odd that no one really bitches about Pamela Voorhees being the killer in the first movie, however, especially since she doesn't appear at all until she's revealed at the end. At least Roy got a few scenes.

And yeah, the movie is campy as shit, but it also gives the most screen time to establishing the personalities of much of its very quirky cast, which makes the film a bit more endearing than the average F13 entry. The pacing, meanwhile, is about on par with the other F13 movies of that era, so I don't think you can single it out there.

I'll fully admit that Part 5 is a "love it or hate it" movie. I happen to love it. Your mileage may vary.

The hilarious thing about Roy, however, is that he ends up killing everyone EXCEPT that one guy that actually killed his son! Talk about fucked up priorities.
