Friday the 13th (Blu-ray Disc, 2009)

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.

I got this blu ray movie expecting for the EXTENDED VERSION but this option is not available on the menu only the THEATRICAL version is there...why?

Cant wait to see it on blu-ray.. I heard it looks really cool... I heard the graphs are better in this kind of movie..

Overall it was a good new take on the original movie. Seemed to borrow from the Texas Chainsaw remake a few years ago, considering it was produced by the same people. I find it very difficult to stay away from this series period! Typical slice and dice!...CHHHHHHH..HAAAAAAA....enjoy..

Friday the 13th. What a title. As we all know, Friday the 13th is the unlucky day, the one where you shouldn't go out, yet still do. But in 1980, a little super-low budget slasher film came out, quickly followed by it's sequels. To date, and including both this, and Freddy Vs. Jason, there are 12 Friday the 13th films, most of which are just profit, but this was the first new one in a while.
The series went dead in 1989 with part 8, and the three following films didn't do much for it. So, with no actual Friday the 13th movie after the '89 sequel, for 20 years we were Jason-less. Finally, with explosion master Michael Bay, the series gets a decent movie. With a record opening weekend box office tally, and featuring the (regular) cast of unkown 20-somethings playing 17 and 18-year olds doing drugs and having sex, this film is classic Friday the 13th.
Part 4, the Final Chapter, was the last one of the series to use the traditional style and setting. This film reveals that the style can still work. Above average acting, sudden jumps and scares, featuring all the cliches of the slasher film, graphic sex and murder scenes, this is old style done today correctly.
While being "technically" a remake, it isn't direct. It's a new movie that uses previous things from other films of it's series which makes everyone classify it as a remake. This film is not a remake, it's a reboot. The film is, however, just as entertaining as many of the classic horror movies. It pays tribute to all the Friday's, and is still original. The gore effects were good, but sometimes were CGI, which is the wrong way to do gore. It doesn't put down the film though.
It's exactly what you would expect, horror, scares, blood, naked people, and everything that comes with the horror package. The film is able to take all these things that have been seen a million times before and still be a good and entertaining film. Watch it if you like anything slasher.

IT WAS OK BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER , PERHAPS WE WERE EXPECTING A REMAKE LIKE, WHAT ROB ZOMBIE DID FOR HALLOWEEN.. I THOUGHT JASON SHOULD HAD BEEN SHOWN MORE WHEN HE WAS A CHILD LIKE MICHAEL MYERS WAS IN THE REMAKE OF HALLOWEEN ...BUT I STILL LIKE THE MOVIE ...IT HAD IT'S NORMAL KILLING WITH A LITTLE BIT OF COMEDY..I GUESS ALL OF THOSE FRIDAY THE 13TH. FANS OUT THERE , WILL ENJOY THE MOVIE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOT BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL...
