Last night I had the opportunity to go see the REMAKE of Friday the 13th, I went and saw.
Now, I must say that with the horror genre in the current state it's in (not a good one), I enjoyed the movie nonetheless. I might add, that it's hard not to enjoy any type of horror film especially if they're free, but I think that it still would have delivered the same amount of entertainment had I dished out the $10. I went in with a little bit of expectations for the movie ( I mean it's Friday the 13th, they can't fuck this one up like all the other classics) I was pleasantly surprised. They didn't really mess with the formula of making a Friday the 13th movie, it had all the essential ingredients; bad acting, gratuitous nudity, characters lacking in logic, violence and the unnecessary use of the word "bro". The only twist ( and I hope I'm not spoiling anything) was the fact that they gave Jason the ability to "run", rather than the usual creepy walking/pace.
All in all, I really couldn't complain about the movie much, a couple of plot discrepancies, but that comes with the territory of horror.
So if you find yourself with nothing to do on Friday the 13th consider watching women with fake breasts get destroyed by Jason Vorhees' machete...It'll be better than thinking about what to get the girlfriend for VD... I mean V-Day.
