The Friday 13th has always been an amusing franchise which never ceases to shock with all the creative ways to kill people. It’s the type of film you can stick on, shut out the lights, and sink into the sofa cushions; all the time feeling totally safe that no matter how stupid you are, you would never go upstairs, you would always be able to outrun someone walking slower than a crawling baby, and most importantly, would never visit Camp Crystal Lake.
So how would you feel if all those comforts were taken from you? What if the insane Crystal Lake loon, Jason Voorhees, had finally sprouted some sense? What if he had brand new skills including Olympic bow and arrow techniques? What if he decided running is more beneficial to maintain is gorenography fetish?
2009’s Friday 13th has unleashed a brand new Crystal Lake monster, more threatening than Micheal Myers and that big guy from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre put together. Jason has become sadistic, and rather than being the giant brainless muscle bound oaf, he puts a lot more thought into his killing to make sure his victims suffer through-out their last minutes. As soon as you see Jason come on screen…RUNNING…you know you’re in for a very different Friday 13th experience.
Marcus Nispels’ vision of this horror franchise is definitely taking a different route. All comforts are lost apart. Despite all the changes, you can still expect some great one liners, and a lot of teenage voyeurism. If you like Friday 13th, go and watch this. If you like sex in the woods…AVOID!
