Friday the 13th-2009<\/strong><\/p>\n

Director Marcus Nispel<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scott’s Review #592<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Reviewed January 8, 2017<\/p>\n

Grade: C-<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a devoted and faithful fan of the Friday the 13th film franchise and I have many wonderful memories of Friday the 13th of the past, I was expecting better than this version.<\/p>\n

There was no reason for the producers to start from scratch with a brand new beginning- that makes no sense to me.<\/p>\n

There is nothing to distinguish this, 2009 Friday the 13th, \u00a0from other sequels. They would have been better suited to making a “Friday The 13th Part 11” since that’s what it was.<\/p>\n

An entirely new storyline was created- only keeping to the original Jason and Mrs. Voorhees characters and Camp Crystal Lake location.<\/p>\n

This movie is not scary, nor are any of the characters particularly likable. Several were quite unlikeable- way too many horror films do that.<\/p>\n

The film also contains very distinct stereotypes, which in this day and age seem ridiculous.<\/p>\n

Also, Jason has now graduated to “taking prisoners” instead of simply hacking his victims.<\/p>\n

There is also a “flashback” scene from 1980, which, inexplicably is a newly filmed scene. A wiser choice, and treat for loyalists, would have been to show this scene from the original Friday The 13th from 1980 instead of foolishly recreating one.<\/p>\n

The story is completely implausible in countless ways.<\/p>\n

I am giving this film a very liberal C- grade for at least giving us a new film and for being somewhat entertaining, even though there are many negatives.<\/p>\n

This film will be forgotten before too long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
