Friday the 13th (DVD, 2009, Extented Killer Cut)

This review, especially the next comment is from a guy who grew up on Jason and has been in a fist fight
because someone said "Jason movies suck." I loved this movie!! It is so old school it isn't even funny. Now
all you people who badmouth the movie (much like you did for the remakes of Halloween & Texas Chainsaw)
have either A: Never seen the other movies, or B: Have no idea what Jason is all about. Jason movies are
about cheap scares, nudity, blood and gore. That's it, end of story. They're not meant to be classical, epic
landmarks like "Lord of the Rings" or even the "X-Men" movies. It's meant to scare you, show you some
naked people and gross you out with the gore. This movie does all of those things. Now, the story is very
different in a lot of ways, than the previous Jason flicks. He's back at Camp Crystal Lake (thank God) but
this movie is the first 4 originals through the magic of science able to make a new "Frankenstein" of sorts,
throw him in a lake and then when he's P'd off, the fun starts. Simple. The new elements are 1: Jason can
think, he's not a mindless killer anymore, 2: The explanation of how Jason can get from point A to point B
without you seeing him do it, 3: Smarter teens and 4: A good, realistic story. Some parts I didn't like much
at the beginning, but as the movie progressed I caught myself hating things for no reason other than the fact
that they were new ideas. The only things I don't like about his one, and will not change my mind are how
small Jason is compared to the previous films, and the fact that yet again, Kain Hodder isn't playing Jason.
Other than that, it's fine!! There's lots of scares & shock, lots of blood & gore, and even some nakedness!!
I guess all I have to say is that if you give this one a chance, it's good. But if you don't let yourself like it
then you won't. I recommend it for fans of gore, Jason, nudity and Horror / Slasher movies.

Jason is back and Crystal Lake is as deadly as it was in the 1980's.

Director Marcus Nispel takes his shot at the remake of the highly successful series that first appeared in the 1980s and does a very good job.

When the original movie came out in theaters it scared the heck out of everyone who saw it. This movie does not quite rise to that degree of horror but it comes pretty close to it.

The movie starts out in 1980 with Jason's mother and Jason killing the original camp councilors then jumps to the present. This is not just another remake, there are a few good changes to the plot that make this one worth watching.

The sex scenes are rather graphic at times and some of the slasher scenes are also so if your not into that type of movie you will not like this one. However if you like sex, violence and gore then make sure you get this movie. If you do not like sex, violence and gore then you better skip this one.

Rated 4 of 5 for good entertainment from a good director.

After ninteen years of Friday The 13th, the genre of slasher films gets a remake. For fans of the series, this is worth seeing. This is actually the original cut, being that most of the edits for the theaterical version had certain scenes running too long. That would make this the only other horror film besides the remake of John Carpenter's Halloween, done by Rob Zombie, to go beyond the traditional hour and a half cut.
This version combines much of the material from the first four or five films and speeds up for the actual blood bath done by Jason himself. You also have to remember that the original Friday The 13th was completely different from the sequels and had Jason's mother stalking the counselors. The directors made sure this time to write out scene to bridge the gap between the first and the third film where the series really takes off.
Essentially, it is Friday The 13th with a slight twist. Die hard fans would m ore than enjoy this.

SEEN ONE SEEN THEM ALL. SAME AS THE REST, FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 39! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. IT STUNK!

Great movie, exceeded my expectations of a new Friday the 13th. Was in my opinion one of the best movies' in the series.

I really liked this Friday the 13th more than the others because of the modern setting and hot women. The naked scenes are terrific and the gore is great. I rate the movie good and and some scenes were better than others but for the most part it's worth buying. If you are a Jason fan, this movie is a must!

thankx.thanks thank you thank u thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was not empressed by this new Friday The 13th. For me it lacked suspense, fear, action, and where was the horror factor? In my opinon the classic Friday the 13th were much better. On my scale of one to 10 with 10 the highest I give it a one. Hey it was better than zero!

This was the best of all of them I think. But is Jason dead.What's next !!!!!!!!!! Who know's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this was a great movie because of jared padalecki. although some parts were unneceassary,there were some good actors in it.

I enjoyed the movie and I was moved by the detail of the events. Jason was as sacary as usual. The family loved it and it will stay in our movie collection forever.

'sighs' I'm almost as sick of hearing people complain about remakes as I am watching them. A professional critique of this film can go both ways. If you are, as I am, a maniacal fanatic of the Friday the 13th films then there's about a 99% chance you will have a seemingly endless stream of problems with this movie, all of which I am more than happy to detail below. If you've never really cared about Jason Voorhees and you're just in for a decent slasher flick then chances are high that you will have a great time watching this.
And now I must rant about all of my complaints: This film absolutely disregards everything you've ever loved about Jason, and all the Friday films. The first Friday the 13th doesn't even show Jason but for a brief second at the very end (and well played at that by Ari Lehman - now famous for that 2 second role)his mother was the killer and single handedly birthed one of the greatest horror films of all time! She's in the remake for about 4 seconds right at the start giving viewers absolutely no sense of the history behind her and her motives for killing.
Secondly, it takes Jason several films/resurrections to become the unstoppable seemingly immortal brute force that he becomes. In perhaps part 6:Jason Lives does he possess such awesome strength and cunning visibility as he does from the very beginning of this awful remake.
Jason was a "mongoloid". A deformed mentally retarded child who drowned in a lake. He later had a small beat up sorry excuse for a cabin out in the woods, like something a mentally retarded person on their own would build. And it's perfect!! Yet somehow in this 2009 film, he operates generators, builds cages, sets traps, hollows out caves underground, changes light bulbs, makes beds, and takes prisoners whom he brings food to to keep them alive and healthy. His childhood home still stands, neatly dusted and bed well kept with his camp trophies well in place next to his neat little bed with his name engraved on it. Absolute doodoo.
His killings are very precise and well organized almost in comparison with Showtime's Dexter. No no no. Jason kills mercilessly and without any care as to where his blade will fall. He'll punch your head off your shoulders, rip your heart out with his bare hands, hack you into pieces with his machete. Nope, not in this film - he shoots a guy in the head from over a quarter mile away with a bow and arrow. No, that's just stupid. Throws an axe from about 50 yards out and hits a guy right in the middle of his back perfectly. Also very stupid.
Jason wasn't the only thing wrong however. The actors were all the worst of the worst. Not funny stupid like all the original Friday's, just plain stupid stupid people that you can barely stand to watch. The boobies were all very large and extremely fake as well, no fun ones like in part 5.
The dialogue was awful. What the writers thought was clever verbiage was just over the top hogwash - like in Scream 2.
Final synopsis - I hate hate hate this movie, but for some strange reason I've watched it half a dozen times like I'm waiting for something I didn't catch to pop up. I'll watch it again too. Like there's some strange unexplainable addictive substance woven into the film. Put all your memories and love for the original Fridays aside and you actually have yourself a very decent slasher flick that's fun for all, unless of course you're a harsher critic than me. Then you can just abandon all hope all together.

This is a very good remake. If you are a fan of Jason then you have to buy this movie! 4/5 Stars!
Vote "YES" if you found this Review was helpful!

I am a big 80's horror fan and I must say that this was a disappointment. The OLD SCHOOL Friday the 13th is alot better. I know it is made for the new generation but come on. Jason does not run, move quickly as appears in this next generation flick. The movie is alright for the new generation of the Jason character but for The true OLD SCHOOL horror fan it does not cut the grade.
Yes, I purchased the flick for the only reason and that is to have because I have all the rest...

i wouldent buy nothing from this person ive been waiting for ever for my movie or a refund and i havent gottin anything back.

Friday the 13th is the best movie ever. I wasn't expecting to get the case and i was very pleased when i got it.I really enjoy it Thank you very much.

this is a remake of an old classic. I think it is better than the original it has alot more action and more graphics than the original, It it a plus for anyone who likes great horro movies

the movie was in good condition when i got it. after i bought it, i got it very fast. i was wanting to get the movie and it was a lot cheaper on here so thats why i decided to try to buy it. i love this movie and glad i purchased it.

I enjoyed the movie with different killing scenes with people. I have all Jason movies & all Freddy's. I only part of the movie I didn't like is when I was watching it. 45 min in the movie, the movie frozed up and wouldn't play.There is nothing wrong with my dvd. I finally restart it and it did it again.

The best parts wwas the girls.If you've watched one friday the 13th you've seen them all.I purchased because of the price .

While the remake of Friday the 13th remains true to the history of the 1980's movies Friday the 13th series. It does bring a fresh look at Horror classic, Jason is very quick, he doesn't lumber about like the 80's movies, he also hunts and lives off the land. But the main difference is in this remake, he has an underground tunnel system, which enables him to move quickly from place to place. Rest assured though the teens having sex and doing drugs die in a graphic and violent manner. The writers added a few twist in the way Jason kills his tormenters while he still uses his machete, he manages to kill several of the kids in new and inventive ways.
