FRIDAY THE 13TH - My biggest gripe, I think- even beyond the horrible characters populating this film, beyond the women as blow-up dolls, the guys as jerks- came at the end. I understand suspension of disbelief. I understand the "need" for Jason to pop up out of the water at the end. Though I try, however, I simply can't wrap my head around how they achieved that end. Upon enduring this horrible night, upon watching everyone get slaughtered, upon escaping Jason's lair after being held captive for a month, Whitney and Clay are going to loose the tangled chains around Jason's neck, freeing his mangled body from a woodchipper...then they're going to haul his 200+ body all the way to the lake just to dump him in? This guy- he's just a guy, after all, who killed all those people? They're going to go through all this trouble and destroy the evidence? No...no, they're not. People don't do that. Yes, people do stupid things in horror movies all the time- splitting up, investigating noises, etc- but sometimes, screenwriters need to stop and say "You, know, this is a bit much..." and figure out ways to make the characters' stupidity seem plausible. Even in its own shallow, ridiculous universe, the film has to make sense.

Am I being too hard on it? Maybe. It's just a slasher movie, after all, right? It's Friday the 13th. Jason gets his mask, he kills people. That's what folks want, mission accomplished.

The forthcoming Friday The 13th remake is directed by Marcus Nispel (Texas Chainsaw remake), written by the pair behind Freddy vs Jason, and produced by Michael Bays company Platinum Dunes (who brought us the remakes of Chainsaw, The Hitcher, and Amityville Horror).

Should we be worried its exec produced by Michael Bay, and co-produced by MTV? Probably.

Spoilers ahead

The remake will actually compact the key events of the first three Friday 13th movies. So, after negligent camp councillors let a young Jason drown, his mother comes to Camp Crystal Lake seeking murderous revenge. She is beheaded by a councillor, then Jason rises from the lake to continue her work.

Its also confirmed that Jason will don the burlap sack from part 2, then later the signature hockey mask from part 3. Young Jason Voorhees is being portrayed by Caleb Guss. Who was presumably picked because he looks a bit weird - good job. Platinum Dunes says the make-up is awesome, freaky and true to the original.

Jasons mother, Mrs. Pamela Voorhees, will be played by Nana Visitor, from Deep Space Nine.

Producers say the kills will be in the double digits, and that there will be tons of drinking, smoking weed and having sex. So the intentions seem to be noble at this point. The Friday 13th remake is released simultaneously around the world on Friday 13th, February 2009.

Excited?

  • Im looking forward to this movie, hopefully it lives up to the classics.

  • I love this movie I seen it on the 1st day it came out. This time Jason is way more faster and smarter than the other movies where he was slow moving and dumb, this time once he sees you theres no running away or escaping him hes gonna fuckin' catch you one way or another. He's like a crimson head now lol

see all

  • I agree. The killer cuts version is a lot better.

  • If anyone one has saw the killer cuts version, its ALOT ALOT better then the theater release. The kills are extended and it makes the movie better. I saw this opening day and i am still dissapointed on how they did it. If they showed the longer death scenes and the REAL way jason got his mask by cuttin the hicks head off, then this wouldve been a very good remake. 4 1/2 machettes out of 10 for the theater release. Killer cuts gets an 8.

  • i saw this also i really liked it its so awsome

  • Yea He was faster, and louder, like when he dropped down in his tunnle, and when he like stompped away. Also when he seen the bag, and he like threw all the cannoes, very cool.

  • This movie is BADASS!!! I saw it opening day and the day after.

  • I agree that it's not the best Friday the 13th ever,but it's still very good.The kills should have been a bit more widespread than a single machete chop.I think the beginning bit with the girl Whitney and her friends being attacked was great.

  • This is a very good movie, i seen it about 4 hours ago. Its a little bit more complicated, lots of death, a few sex scenes, but its not as scary as most of the old movies.

  • Just remember back then when your parents were young those films made them crap their pants Lol im 15 though so :P just think back then lmao
