10 Movies That Judge You For Watching

1. Friday The 13th Part VI: Jason Lives

The sixth Friday the 13th movie is probably the best entry into the series, honestly, with an unexpectedly self-aware sense of humour and welcome dispensing with many of the franchise's moldiest tropes.

Jason Lives offers up a healthy dollop of meta-commentary on the state of both the franchise and horror movies as a whole, best exemplified by an hilarious scene where gravedigger Martin (Bob Larkin) passes comment on Jason Voorhees' corpse being dug up.

Martin grumbles, "Why'd they have to go and dig up Jason?" before turning to the audience and quipping, "Some folks sure got a strange idea of entertainment."

Jason Lives is a film so tongue-in-cheek it almost seems embarrassed of its own existence, and this moment captures it perfectly. It's the movie asking why it's even a movie, while taking the audience to ask for keeping the franchise successful no matter how terrible the sequels have been.

For example, the widely-loathed previous film, Friday the 13th: A New Beginning, still grossed 10-fold its $2.2 million budget, hence Jason being "dug up" here for yet another sequel.

Sadly this is the only entry into the franchise that really bothered to look inward at its own tawdriness - and also the shameless thirst of its fans.
