My wife and I have had long discussions about 8, because in a way (or in most ways) it's the worst of the series. I mean, it's a bad film. But if yr a fan you can't help but like it. There's something about it. I dnt know. I think it feels like an end to an era of F13 films (and it was -- the beginning of the Jason films).
And I think the reason that most real fans of the series are so into part 6 is because that's a straight up fan-film. Y'know? It's like... high body count? Check. Awesome kills? Check. Hilariously unreal characters? Check. And then at the same time it's got tons of injokes to the series itself (the gravedigger? etc). It's really sort of an homage to the series itself.
