Friday the 13th (2009) Review

What can I say? Jason is back! As a fan of the series I was a little bit sceptical about restarting the series. However, with that being said, here is the low down. Take elements of the first 3 movies of the series, every cliché ever in a Jason movie and throw them together, what do you get? The best Jason movie since Part 8! First off, the premise is simple, Jason on a killing spree! No over thinking, no stupid ideas that looks good on paper, just a simple, predictable Jason movie! As a fan, this is the one we have been waiting for now for almost 20 years. I guarantee if you have seen any Jason movie from Part 2 on, you have seen this one as well! But that does not mean it is shit, in fact, its simplicity is what makes it so great! Hot chicks, debauchery, Jason kills everyone, simple yet effective. It is full of OH SHIT Moments, best deaths in a horror movie with some original ways to die that, shockingly although simple, have not been used yet in any other movie. If you want me to rate this I get it 9 machetes out of 10 for simply bring back some pride to a franchise that, although has a solid and dedicated fan base, some reason to believe that Jason is not dead yet.
