Oh The Horror! - Friday the 13th (2009)

The final video for Friday the 13th week.

This is a video review of the newly released Platinum Dunes remake of Friday the 13th. The film was directed by Marcus Nispel with a script from Damian Shannon and Mark Swift. It stars Jared Padalecki, Amanda Righetti and Derek Mears as Jason Voorhees.

These are my initial thoughts of the movie, more so than a review. I'll have to watch it a few more times to really get a feel for it, but this is just some stuff that I riffed off the top of my head.

Also there's a special appearance in this review!

I hope you enjoy,
RyHo

PS - I'm sorry this isn't in the same quality as the rest of the reviews from this week. I didn't realize that I compressed it at a lower quality until I began upload.

your gf wife is gorgeous your a lucky guy.

[RyHoMagnifico]

Why thank you very much. You totally made her day, haha!

Oh and Ciscokid, he's not capturing his victims. It was just this one girl, that reminded him of his mother (her boyfriend said she looked like her in the locket, at the beginning of the film). I think it was a nod from part 2 (I think - was it part 3?) where the girl talks like Jason's mom, so that he wont harm her. But, yes the way he found his mask was silly, as most of the characters. We cant be scared when we couldn't care any less about the characters. Thats why I like Wes Craven movies.

[RyHoMagnifico]

Yeah, it's a nod to Part 2 when Ginny puts on his mother's sweater.

We definitely had the same opinion of the flick. It wasn't anything great, but it wasn't all that bad. Thanks for the comments!

I'm waiting for the Blu-ray. I really enjoyed this video series. The girlfriend shit here gave me douche chills but more power to you. I get a great nostalgic kick out of these films too. Got turned onto them when I was 12 and taped Jason Lives off First Choice/Superchannel. Canadian "pay TV' back then, remember it? Part VI is definitely the high point, IMHO, zombie Jason being much scarier to me than a mortal version.

[RyHoMagnifico]

I do indeed remember it, and I'm not sure what "douche chills" are, but I apologize!

To put it in one sentense: The Remake sucked.

[papajdizzzle]

I agree that CGI effects are OVERUSED and it is starting to lose its illusion. I hear that the new nightmare remake isnt very good either because people just cant get past Robert England not playing Freddy. While I am sure the new guy does the job well, Freddy isnt like Jason, replaceable from film to film. Freddy is a strong character. (not oscar material but you get the idea)

[PokeyBessie]

This movie is terrible. Jason behaves JUST LIKE PD remake of the Texas Chainsaw massacre. They move alike, they almost look alike, they kill alike, they have lairs alike. They dissed the entire first movie by making it in to a 30 second montage. I hated all the characters and as you said no redeeming qualities at all. I just hope they do NOT make another. Let my favorite series just stay as it is or sell Jason back to Paramount, at least I liked their movies

[Johnlindsey289]

This was barely a remake, it was more like the 12th installment then an actual remake.

[ramfan362]

It was better than parts 5,7-10
