In an attempt to revive the aging slasher series, New Line Cinema and Paramount churned out 'Friday the 13th' (2009) during a period that was dominated by similar films that were targeted at young adults. With Marcus Nispel at the helm, we see what happens when more college-aged kids head back to Crystal Lake and encounter the masked man himself, Jason Voorhees. Of course, all hell breaks loose, etc.

With 'Friday,' you really get what you pay for. Featuring a bunch of no-name TV actors (and what's Willa Ford doing in here?) and an assortment of gruesome deaths that feel like they were picked off a list of the "100 worst ways to die," there's not a lot to champion here. The plot is a retread of every film from this genre ever made, no one is likable and there are enough scenes to make you roll your eyes enough times to go cross-eyed (including perhaps the worst use of the word "stupendous" ever).

Nothing about 'Friday' is scary - it's just downright gross, and a reminder of the horrible movies that were released in the latter half of the previous decade. If you're looking for a movie to watch on the next Friday the 13th, pick something else.

After an exciting prologue involving your usual sex and pot crazed teenagers being dispatched by murderous woodsman, Jason Voorhees, Friday the 13th flies off the handle and populates the rest of the film with some of the most unlikable characters ever showcased in a slasher film and expects us to care when they're murdered one by one. We have no choice but to root for Jason and, I'm not sure about you, but I like horror movies where I feel bad for the people being stalked and killed.

If the characters aren't absolute morons or jerks, they're boring. We have the lead, Clay, who keeps trying to find his sister, but that's his only major character trait and it's hard to connect with him. Even worse is his sister who spends the entire film cowering in fear and screaming as she's trapped in the killer's secret underground lair.

Friday the 13th is yet another misguided attempt at remaking a classic film that forgets what made the original so compelling and watchable in the first place.

This is still one of the best horror remakes I've ever seen. It's got everything you could want in a horror movie, and they made Jason more beastly than ever! Good for die hard fans and newcomers!!

There's not too many movies I could watch multiple times and enjoy just as much every time. Great cast too! It might not necessarily be anything "new" but it certainly breathed new life into the franchise, modern Jason rules lol.

I don't know what else to say, anyone who hates this doesn't truly appreciate horror movies.
