Which Jason Is The Smartest?

Which Jason Voorhees was the smartest? He’s got a reputation for brute force, but there are moments where Jason puts more thought into a kill than you might expect. I’m going through the Friday the 13th movies in release order, looking at how each Jason hunts, sets traps and reacts when people fight back, before picking my winner at the end. I’m leaving Jason Goes to Hell out. How much of that intelligence is Jason’s, and how much belongs to whoever he’s possessing? Plus, I think it’s a shite movie anyway. Which Jason gets your vote, and what scene makes your case? Let me know in the comments. Subscribe to Another Horror Nerd for more horror movie analysis.
