What You Need To Know:
The movie reeks of the humanistic agenda, and the character of Jason personifies a supernatural, demonic force. There is no acknowledgement of ANY kind of a supernatural realm…God only enters their vocabulary in the form of an expletive. Parents should be extremely aware that this movie is marketed toward their young teenage kids, even though the content would not even be suitable for adult viewers. A pervading sense of hopelessness emanates from the screen, leaving no real solution for dealing with Evil. JASON X is sadly predictable and offers nothing new under the sun to the horror genre, but succeeds in promoting helplessness and humanism

More Detail:
JASON X revives the Friday the 13th character yet again, this time in the future onboard a starship. Beginning in the year 2010, Jason Voorhees (Kane Hodder) is being prepared for cryogenic stasis under the supervision of Rowan (Lexa Doig). Although freezing him seems to be the only apparent solution to stop his ravenous, murderous rage, the military intervenes anyway, wanting to transfer him to a research facility to further study his regenerative ability. Upon entering the room where he is kept, they walk into a trap and all the guards meet their demise. The chase ensues and ends with Rowan and Jason frozen in cryogenic stasis. They are rediscovered in the year 2455 by scientists, and Rowan and Jason are revived, hence beginning the new chapter of “chills and thrills” in the Jason saga.
Within the first 10 minutes of the movie (including the opening credits), six people die, setting the precedent for the killing pace throughout the movie. The people who discover Jason begin to study him, oblivious to the threat that lays on their bio-bed. As the threat becomes real, the people (who soon become victims) draw only from their own abilities and resources, making a strong humanistic worldview pervade throughout the movie. The existence of God does not come up at all unless they decide to use his name in vain as an exclamatory phrase.
Everything the characters do to stop Jason is useless; the evil keeps on coming. Their futile efforts become very effective in creating an atmosphere of hopelessness against the forces of darkness (embodied in Jason), leaving the viewer with a sense of helplessness in the face of a present (almost supernatural) danger.
The character of Jason personifies a supernatural, demonic force to inflict pain and death to anyone who gets in its way. Only huge catastrophic events (always initiated by human effort) even begin to slow down its rampage.
The Bible makes it very clear that while we are not capable of overcoming evil solely by ourselves, Jesus has already been victorious over Darkness, and that victory is available to all who accept Him. In Jude 1:19, the example of dealing with evil is given, “Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!” This also demonstrates the power in the name of Jesus, which only appeared in this movie as a profane exclamation.
Parents should be extremely aware that this movie is marketed toward their teenage kids, even though the content of the movie would not even be suitable for adult viewers. The solution to the violence of evil is the violence of good in retaliation to it, not through means of big guns and lots of bloodshed. All sexual activities happen outside the marriage relationship and promote violent forms of sexuality such as sadomasochism. JASON X is sadly predictable and fails to breathe new life into a horror genre “classic.”
