* {{Sequelitis}}: Even with the BrokenBase formed in recent years, this film is held to be among the worst of the ''Friday the 13th'' films for its subpar writing, production values and controversial twist ending.

* {{Sequelitis}}: Even with the BrokenBase formed in recent years, this film is held to be among the worst of the ''Friday the 13th'' films for its subpar writing, production values and controversial twist ending. It isn't helped by the fact that it's the first movie in the series to be utterly slaughtered by the MPAA's cuts, while not the first entry in the series to suffer the wrath of the moral guardians, Part 5 began the trend of Friday the 13th films having kills which cut out the second they began, making it feel far less brutal and memorable than it's predecessors in terms of kills, despite having one of the highest body counts.

** Many fans wish the spunky and fun Violet was the final girl instead of the rather generic if well-meaning Pam, or at the very least had far more screentime.

** Violet, who many fans wish had survived and is still considered one of the most memorable characters in the franchise for her RiotGrrrl aesthetic.

* {{Tearjerker}}: [[spoiler: Joey's]] death is pretty sad when you really think about it. It's clear that he's not "all there" in the head but the fact that he's a completely innocent young man who's murdered just for offering someone a chocolate bar is just plain tragic.

** Is [[spoiler: Roy]] actually trying to avenge [[spoiler:his son]]? A lot of his victims have nothing to do with Pinehurst. Was he practicing? Is it possible he just decided to start killing and learned he liked it? Or is he actually possessed by Jason Voorhees like the novelization implies? There's evidence in the movie for both.
** Is Tommy [[spoiler: completely insane]] at the end or [[spoiler:possessed himself?]]
* BestKnownForTheFanservice: This movie is increasingly being remembered as "the one where Tina shows off her impressive chest with a sex scene and then lies on the ground naked as the camera gazes at her [[LegFocus thighs]] and ass for one frame". The fact that she's played by Debi Sue ''[[MeaningfulName Voorhees]]'' makes it all the better. The band ''Wolfe's Just Fine'' paid tribute to her nude scene with the music video titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG8iAtpavK4 A New Beggining]] itself, which Debi Sue Vorhees herself loved.

* ContestedSequel: While long regarded as one of the worst entries in the series, it has gotten more polarizing in recent years to the point of arguably becoming this. Supporters tend to cite CriticalBacklash as being in effect, pointing out that without the twist the film is perfectly serviceable as a standard ''Friday the 13th film'' and appreciate its trashier feel and attempt to return to the mystery killer aspect of the first film. Detractors tend to loathe the film for its subpar makeup effects accompanying the heavily trimmed down violence, Tommy Jarvis being heavily OutOfFocus despite being the protagonist, an abundance of bland or unlikable victims and a twist ending that suffers from CaptainObviousReveal and FridgeLogic.
* CriticalBacklash: Some viewers in recent years, particularly people new to the franchise, tend to be puzzled by the negative reception the film receives, noting that until the twist ending it plays out like a standard ''Friday the 13th'' film.

* CriticalBacklash: The film has been receiving a much warmer reception from fans over the years who appreciate the new inventive kills, the overall trashy, much more sleazy feel compared to the first 4 movies, and some even admitting that [[spoiler:the plot twist of Jason staying dead and a new character taking his place]] was a great way to expand on the series.

** The film's premise of being set in a halfway house for troubled teenagers could also have been better developed, considering that the characters behave as if they're anywhere but a halfway house. There isn't even a therapy scene with the characters trying to deal with their problems.

* CaptainObviousReveal: [[spoiler:Roy being the killer isn’t that much of a twist, since his very first scene shows him looking at the camera angrily after witnessing his sons chopped up body and the other ambulance making a [[DudeNotFunny rather tasteless and inappropriate]] joke in the process]]. The fact that just about every new potential red herring they introduced gets killed in an instant doesn’t help either.

* {{Narm}}:
** Intensive horror music plays when Pam, Tommy and Reggie drive to the trailer park.
** When a lightning strike reveals to Reggie that Tommy's dark room is filled with corpses, it's a good horror film moment. Then Pam goes in there and the ''exact'' same thing happens offscreen, it has been turned into a comedy film moment.
** When Pam closes in on the killer with a chainsaw, it suddenly runs out of gas.
** The blue markings in the hockey mask used in this film look like a mustache.
** When Reggie attacks "Jason" with the tractor, it moves too slowly to be taken seriously. It takes ten full seconds from the time he crashes through the wall to the time he hits "Jason". It's like the steamroller scene from ''Film/AustinPowers'', but here it's played straight. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9wWX8JKyeE Seen here]] in all its glory.
