    However, this film is (be)head and shoulders above the recently reanimated likes of "Prom Night" and "My Bloody Valentine."

    There's an itch for this kind of material, and here it is scratched -- to the bone.

    This new Friday the 13th, unquestionably savvier and snappier than the original "Friday the 13th," though just as useless, is a needed return to simplicity.

    This movie shouldn't be reviewed. During tough times people like to just watch someone take out they're aggresions. Especially when those aggressions are annoying college co-eds. This movie was everything I hoped for. Great killing scenes and no story. Perfect. Too many cheesy pot references though. But, Jason fixes this problem.… Expand

    The lousy remake "Friday the 13th" is only there for the ones who greatly enjoy slash-and-hack movies that includes boobs and blood. If your not one of them, don't even consider watching this.… Expand

    I'm a huge horror film fan and i liked most of the original Friday the 13th films. But in this modern age, filmmakers seems to have forgotten what horror is all about. Nowadays it's just lots and lots of dreadfully boring gore flicks. Horror films is supposed to be about suspense and scare but those things are almost completely abscent in todays films. And this new tradition continues on in this remake. This movie is a total bore and is not worth more than a rent at best.… Expand
