Friday the 13th Review

Nick - wrote on 03/22/2010

Ok this movie was just so so. I was expecting a badass movie and got a badass Jason Voorhees which isn't terrible. I know horror movies are made to scare and show gore but I think there should be some story behind it. Yes there was a story but a very typical one. When i'm talking story I mean a good story like what Rob Zombie did with Halloween. This movie just delievered to gore fans. Which I am one but like i said I like story to. Derek Mears did great as Jason if there's any sequels being planned make sure you cast him again. The only other character worth mentioning is Jared Padelicki he did good with what he was given. All the other characters just felt like they was going with the flow like all the other ones that was made. This movie was given some dumb cheesy scenes that could …

Awful!

Not so much a remake of the 1980 slasher but more an update of the whole Jason Voorhees legend, director Marcus Nispel and producer Michael Bay have once again teamed up to bring a horror icon from the video nasty-era to a new generation, following on from their success with 2003's 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre'.

Starting where the original 'Friday...' left off, in 1980 and the death of Jason's mother (Nana Visitor), this new version combines elements of the first four original movies, with Jason coming back for revenge wearing a sack on his head, to him picking up the iconic hockey mask and terrorising a houseful of 'teens' (or young adults, as they clearly aren't teenagers). The scene then shifts to the present day, where a group of five young people set up camp in the woods just …

There is absolutely no excuse for this movie.

This review will contain spoilers for this film, the original Friday the 13th, and Friday the 13th Part 2. It will also make you shake with rage and frustration, and cry out to the heavens in anguish.

Let me paint you a picture. Imagine if you will, a boy raised on all of the cheesy, schlocky horror films of the 80’s, a boy who grew to love all horror films equally, but who found a special love in his heart for the slasher films. And imagine that boy’s sadness and despair when, in the wake of Wes Craven’s Scream, he saw his beloved slashers, once R rated spectacles of violence, sex, and illicit drug use descend into stale, watered down, PG-13 shadows of their former glory. And one of the greatest heroes of the original slasher movement, the Man Behind the Mask himself, Jason …

A new begining or more of the same

trem - wrote on 03/14/2009

A new begining or a prelude to a loss of imagination? I always love a good horror flick, whether it's got a plot or just mindless violence entertainment is entertainment. The problem with our movies today is pure shock & gore which equals boooring. No suspense & absolutly nothing left to the imagination. This holds true to our good buddy Jason. Of course we get the obnoxious boyfriend, the friends along for the ride (hey, the movie does need a body count) & the hero brother looking for his sister & blah, blah, blah you must be able to guess the rest. While I must admit too actually liking the movie on a subhuman level it was basically only something to pass the time. The problem with this genre is that if you have seen one of these movies you have seen them all. Would I recommend …

Plays Like Sequel Rather Than Remake

Unknown - wrote on 02/23/2009

I wanted something new and not just a modern re-hash of the old. Here was a chance to start fresh with a completely different take, but instead we are left with no added backstory and some tired genre moments. However, taking this in as another sequel, I would consider this the best in the series since the fourth film. It pays homage to the first four films. It has great, brutal kills. Jason is actually menacing again and the whole thing has some camp to it. This feels more like a "same old" sequel rather than a full on redo. Have we been here and done it before? Yes. But has it been this good in a long time? No. Slasher fans and others will find some things in here to like. As a whole, it's not very good. But it does deliver a somewhat classic slasher feel and, for the most …
