Out of all the horror slasher to be blatantly inspired by Hitchcock's Psycho, Friday the 13th felt the most uninhabited by an overall great story. And fun fact: the final twist was suggested by Tom Savini!Īnother fun fact: this made $200+ million dollars worldwide back in 1980 after adjusted for inflation.
The acting is uneven and it meanders a bunch between kills but all of that is made up with the utterly fantastic "double" twist ending. * Academy Award for Ralph the crazy dude! * Young Kevin Bacon in a speedo! (His kill after getting laid is my favorite.)
* Tom Savini rocks the kills! (I remember being totally spoiled as I peeked in a Fangoria magazine before seeing the movie). I've never been a big Friday the 13th fan as the double digit sequels put me off, but oh-man is this movie a nostalgia machine: It's definitely starts out more interesting on a re-watch given I know who the killer is. The date has a special place in my heart given I was born on Friday the 13th and generally am lucky those days. I haven't seen this in ages and I think this is the first time I've watched it sober. There's also an 11-minute featurette on the new movie and three deleted scenes (a different version of Jason getting his mask, the police response to the phone call, and a revised climax)."You're DOOMED if you stay here. If you're squeamish you might not want those things, but if you're that squeamish you probably don't want to watch Friday the 13th in the first place, right? The longer cut will give you more of the stuff that you probably watch this movie for. In addition to some more of Amanda Righetti and of Jason, the extra nine minutes is mostly more gore in the gory scenes and more sex in the sexy scenes. The extended Killer Cut is 106 minutes compared to 97 for the theatrical cut, and it's hard to imagine choosing to watch the theatrical cut if you have a choice. But if they keep coming, he'll keep slashing. How he's been able to live down there for 30 years (if the film's own timeline is to be believed) and had enough unwitting campers pass by to keep himself entertained is anybody's guess. The film's Jason is quite the athletic fellow, and he's assembled an elaborate underground corpse-hiding lair in the vicinity of Crystal Lake. You might even regret the slaughter of a couple of these young folk, which is an unusual feeling in Friday-watching. Bay and director Marcus Nispel, who collaborated on the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, are surprisingly indifferent to changing up the formula this time, although there's more care taken in building up a few characters, and for once the comic relief (mostly supplied by Aaron Yoo and Arlen Escarpeta) is pretty funny. Cue the hockey mask, and pass the machete. When the "lakeside" happens to refer to Crystal Lake, of course, there can be only one outcome.

Jumping ahead six weeks, the film introduces a carload of clueless teens headed for a weekend at a lakeside cabin, plus a lone motorcyclist (Jared Padalecki) in search of his missing sister (Amanda Righetti). This, the umpteenth sequel (nope, it's not a remake of the origin story) to the original 1980 movie, gives us a clever prologue that manages to fit an entire Jason Voorhees killing spree in a brisk and bloody 20 minutes. The indestructible villain of so many bottom-of-the-barrel shockers isn't about to change his shtick, and the 2009 Friday the 13th proves it.
If you thought a bigger budget and an A-list producer (Michael Bay) would go to Jason's head, well, forget it. Jumping ahead six weeks, the film introduces a carload of clueless teens headed for a weekend at a lakeside cabin, plus a lone motorcyclist (Jared Padalecki) in
