This terrifying movie delivers grisly horror, tension, mayhem, horrible gore and lots of blood and guts. Searching for his missing sister, Clay (Jared Penderecki) heads to the eerie forest of the legendarium Crystal Lake, where he stumbles upon the old, decrepit remains of a cabin covered in dense moss. Against police advice and warnings from local residents, Clay continues with the search, helped by a young woman (Danielle Panabaker) he has met among a group of young students ready to spend an exciting weekend. What they least imagine is that they have entered the domain of one of the most terrifying serial killers in history: Jason Voorhees (Derek Mears). Welcome to Crystal Lake !. Jason lives !. Many will die !. Prepare for the day everyone fears... You know his name. You know the story. On Friday the 13th, witness his resurrection...!. Bad luck? ...You don't know the half of what you're in for.
From the Producers of 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' comes the usual slasher packing thrills, chills, nudism, shocks and terrible deaths. The plot is plain, simple and well-known: A group of young adults visit a boarded up campsite named Crystal Lake where they soon encounter the mysterious Jason Voorhees and his deadly intentions. Unsettling gore-feast contains uncountable killings with lots of guts and gore, including impaling, stabbing, beheading, among them. Nor is it the best when it comes to dialogue. Much of it is very silly, crude, non-sense and cheesy. Or character development, while the roles are actually still easy to sympathise with to some extent they are stereotypes that we don't know an awful lot about generally. 'Friday the 13th' is far from the best when it comes to performance, excepting for the resourceful Jared Padalecki and the always charming Danielle Panabaker. The others: Travis Van Winkle, Aaron Yoo , Jonathan Sadowski, Julianna Guill, Ben Feldman, Arlen Escarpeta and America Olivo are mediocre at best, though it was interesting to see Amanda Righetti in an early role pre-The Mentalist.
The creepy screenplay and story, based on characters created by Victor Miller, was written by Damian Shannon , Mark Swift and Mark Wheaton. And lavish production by the great Joel Silver along with Sean S. Cunningham, Andrew Form, Hamada and Brad Fuller. The motion picture was professionally directed by Marcus Nispel, though with no originality because it copies the premises and situations that we have already seen many times earlier. Marcus is a video hits director and expert on terror and action genres as he proved in ¨Frankestein¨ , ¨Texas chainsaw massacre¨¨Friday the 13th¨, ¨Exeter¨, ¨Pathfinder¨, ¨Conan¨, but none of his movies have been based on original plot.
Since the first entry: 'Friday the 13th' (1980) directed by Sean S. Cunninghan (series' usual producer) one of the most famous and influential horror films, the franchise containing one of horror's most iconic villains in the already very long series, there have been many sequels, such as: 'Friday the 13 II' (by Steve Miner,1981), 'Friday the 13 III' (1982 Steve Miner in 3D).... The best Friday 13 are: 'Jason takes Manhattan part VII' (1989), 'Jason X' (2002,James Isaac), 'Freddie Kruger vs. Jason' (Ronnie Yu) and the last 'Friday, the 13th' (2009) with Jared Penderecki and Daniella Panabaker. Rating: 5.5/10. This film has images of graphic violence and may not be suitable for all audiences. Viewer discretion is advised.
