what a thriller
this film was great to watch, however it scares you from head to toe.
Freaky Friday!
This film beats expectation by keeping you guessing, no matter how well you think you might know the series.
I had expected much the same sort of film as the 'Nightmare on Elm Street' series. I was relieved to find that Friday the 13th is a far more chilling horror film as the story closely resembles the kind you tell your friends in the dark with a torch illuminating just your face.
The film slowly unravels and keeps a rather big surprise back until the final moments of the movie. The acting is hardly the best I've seen, but then how well do you need to act if you only have a few lines and then get a knife in the throat.
I can't say anything for the most recent Friday the 13th films, but they definately started from a good place (or should that be a ba...
On par with the best of the F13 series
From the director of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Remake (and with a very similar look and style to that film), the Friday the 13th remake is a good horror movie and as good as the best of the other 10 films in the F13 series (which for me was the 1980 original), but not really as good as it could have been and I maybe hoped it would be. It has the required blood, violence and fun death-scenes, as well as the usual nudity and as always the sex-starved teenagers, Derek Mears makes for a very good Jason (even if Jason is not used enough in my opinion, only popping up here and there once every so often in the most obvious of ways) and the film condenses the first film into the time it takes to show the opening credits (i.e. Jason’s mother killing counselors off and getting her comeuppance...
Friday the 13th
Claudia PuigPerhaps there's not much that can be done, beyond the expected, with the Friday the 13th franchise. But it would have been fun to see someone try. The latest Friday the 13th has the requisite scares, jolts, nudity, debauchery and gruesome murders. This time it's all set in a world of iPods, cellphones and Girls Gone Wild. But nothing much has changed. Even the latest GPS device proves useless up against the maniacal determination of hockey-mask-wearing super-killer Jason Voorhees. More importantly, nothing has changed to enliven or expand the formulaic concept. This is certainly not the movie to propel the slasher genre forward. While it may sound strange to suggest such a thing, think of 2002's 28 Days Later. Director Danny Boyle took a pre...
Friday the 13th
Jason Voorhees, the scourge of Camp Crystal Lake, has made it through burnings, burials and drownings, changes of actor and director, plus excursions to Elm Street, outer space and the third dimension. Now the homicidal mute in his trademark hockey mask gets a Michael Bay-style reboot
Spanning 29 years, 12 films, numerous books and a completely unrelated TV spin-off, the Friday The 13th franchise is a strange phenomenon, a cash cow that somehow keeps on finding its way back from the abattoir. Pretty impressive when you consider that the original was a rough-and-ready Halloween rip-off with an Aran-sweatered Angela Lansbury lookalike as its antagonist and only a brief - not to mention nonsensical - appearance from the main man himself.
With a reputat...
