Don't shun the film simply because it bares the title of an old favorite of yours and mine. It is instead a different look at our old pal Jason and one that can be appreciated greatly if given the opportunity. I say to those of you who bash this or claim it's a "rip off" or a "poor remake" consider this - It's neither. The action begins almost immediately and builds steadily throughout the hour and thirty five minutes it lasts, right up until the very last shot. This film is not a remake but rather a revision and one I came to appreciate much within the first 10 minutes. There's plenty of gore for the gore lovers, plenty of sexual explicitness for the perverts, and plenty of drugs for the stoners just like an old fashioned horror movie should contain. It takes quite a bit to frighten me and I counted a good 2 or 3 times I actually jumped throughout the film. It isn't so much the suspense but instead, the moments you know are coming just not when or how they'll be approached exactly. From start to finish the film keeps you on the edge of your seat. I'm a fan of horror movies - this includes good, bad, and indifferent so I figured why not? Being that Friday The 13th was one of my favorites, I didn't expect much. I've been a fan of the original Friday The 13th for many years now and was of course skeptical of this "remake" but decided to give it a shot nonetheless. It's rare these days I enter a movie theater to see a horror film and leave anything short of sorely disappointed but today differed from recent past experiences.
