Friday the 13th (2009)
Okay before I get into my synopsis and the review, I know I promised and Exorcist 2 review, but that will have to wait. I can't decide whether I hated it or loved it so it's difficult for me to write a review for it, maybe I'll rewatch at the end of summer and then put up a review.
Before I get to into details, I must say that I am a huge fan of the Friday series. It's up there on my favourite list because they're so fun! Okay, so, the Friday The 13th remake really surpassed my expectations, an dI had no idea what and where the film was heading for. It's not really a remake. The killer is not Pamela. Pretty much it's just a sequel to the films, but say parts 1-4. The film is introduced with a bunch of teens who go to camp crystal lake for fun and to party and whatnot. One of the teens tells the tale of the woman who killed teenagers and was beheaded and her son Jason! So I thought the intro would be the whole movie, I thought it was a corny remake that was like the sequels and brought a bunch of teenagers to Camp Crystal Lake and killed them one by one. I was wrong. this is only the first 20 minutes, and four out of the 5 *SPOILERALERT* teenagers are killed within that time by Jason. By then I was confused and I had no idea what would happen next. I was really digging the flick. So the girl who survives the first 20 minutes has a brother. The guy who plays her brother plays Sam on Supernatural, and I can't think of his name right now. ANYWAY, he goes looking for her and while he does that, he comes across a group of partying teens. They're also at Crystal Lake, but on the opposite side of the camp. Jason doesn't seem to care where you are though! The brother eventually does find his sister [who Jason kept prisoner for no apparent reason]. In the end, pretty much everyone dies [like in most of the Friday films]. the only survivors are the man and his sister, but Jason comes back in the final second and it is unclear whether he killed them or not.
Okay I'll give it a 7/10. I expected it to be pretty awful, but it turned out to be pretty good. If you haven't seen it, it's definitely worth checking out. It seems to be in five dollar bins everywhere, and cheap at gas stations and whatnot. I don't regret buying it! It stayed fairly true to the originals, characters who drank, did drugs, had sex, or were nude even briefly died, and it was really fun! The acting was pretty solid, and the effects were pretty good. Two things I hated about it were that Jason ran, and he kept the one girl. Jason just... you can do a lot with his character, but you shouldn't make him run. It makes him less scary. He seemed to kind of care for the girl in some scenes, you could see it in his eyes. But I didn't like that, it's not his style, he sees, he kills. That's how it works. I'd describe this movie as a risk taker, some risks paid off, others not so much. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed it, and I'd recommend fans of the series to check it out.
