13 Awful Movies With 1 Awesome Scene
6. Death By Liquid Nitrogen - Jason X
The Awful Movie: It's the tenth entry into a horror movie franchise...and it's in space. How good is it ever going to be? While Jason X might be ripe for ironic, boozed-up viewing parties, on any serious level it's probably the worst of the Friday the 13th movies, and that's really saying something.
Dialogue, acting, direction and visual effects are all sub-SyFy quality, and the much-advertised, metal-enhanced "Uber Jason" doesn't show up until the tail-end of the movie. How lame.
The Awesome Scene: One of the most legendary kills in not only the Friday the 13th franchise but horror history, this snappy send-off for a pretty young lab tech sees her accosted by Jason, who then dunks her head in a vat of liquid nitrogen, and after it freezes, smashes it into a bloody mess of pulpy ice on the worktop next to her.
Everything from the brilliantly gruesome effects through to the shot selection is pretty much perfect, enough to make you wonder where such ingenuity was during the rest of the movie.
