Friday The 13th (2009)

[Roxtar]

Comes out today (obviously), I'll be going to see it later on tonight when I get out of work. Figured I'd start a thread about it now in case anyone catches an early showing.

Discuss...

[mightybosch]

oh dear lord - Why Did They Have To Do This!!
can't they just come up with something new rather than go through the whole back-catalogue of old films and go "oh well, it was terrible the first time but if we shoot everything in the dark and have a bunch of c list actors it'll be fantastic *this time*"

I expect, based on the remakes of Amityville, texas chainsaw, halloween etc, that it'll be total arse. And that it'll make a lot of money, and that it'll just encourage them to do it again and again and again :-(

The TCM remake wasn't bad. I really don't expect much out of this but I almost feel obligated to see it. I loved the originals when I was a kid, so a new take on it makes me curious. It's not like it's intended to be some highly acclaimed award-winning film. It's a fun popcorn slasher flick - take it for what it is, there's no sense in complaining about it.

I guess if the only reason you're viewing it is to see Jessica Biel's ass in those tight, wet jeans.

Other than that, it's garbage. They made Leatherface a puss cake.

No, the reason I watched it is the same reason I'll watch Friday The 13th. It's fun to watch cheesy slashers on the big screen. I know what I'm getting going in and I'm okay with it. At least it's not pretending to be something it's not, like your favorite movie, Saw.

[LegendaryU2K]

I just heard about this movie about a week ago, seems kinda out of place, just a bunch of stupid misguided teens drinking and having sex, when the bad guy comes and slices them up, until someone figures out a way to kill him or stop him. Because the dude just can't die lol.

Am i am going to see it?

You bet! :)

I agree with the fact that it's fun watching all of the cheesy slashers on screen.

The only one I absolutely despise is the 'Halloween' remake. That film is a classic and it jump-started the entire slasher genre. Plus, it was actually insanely well made (and without a drop of blood!). That film wasn't about hacking kids to pieces, it actually had depth in its suspenseful techniques. Rob Zombie ruined that.

[atreyu_2020]

Zombies Halloween was about 3 times better than this garbage and every other new generation horror remake.

Atleast Zombie's Halloween had a few decent performances, Forsythe and Sheri Moon Zombie, and built up suspense in a few parts.

If you actually preferred this garbage film, I can't even pity you. It's your typical new age, senseless bullshit with your WB casting. I can't even put into words how horribly bad this film is. Probably one of the bottom 5 worst horror films I've ever seen...and no I don't include films like Troll 2 and Shark Attack 3. Those are actually entertaining in their awfulness.

The films are meant to be viewed in two different lights.

'Halloween' is meant to be viewed on a critical level. The suspense, atmosphere, directing, music, etc. were all phenomenal. It was (and still is) the epitome of what it was to be a horror film.

'Friday the 13th' is meant to be a slasher film and nothing more. The acting and the storyline are meant to be taken with a grain of salt. It's unfortunate that it is, but that's the way the entire franchise has taken. Why? Because it relies on the 'killing teenager' aspect. That is why people go. No one goes to a 'Friday the 13th' movie expecting good acting and a great story.

On the other hand, Rob Zombie's 'Halloween' had to live up to the original. And it definitely did not.

'Friday the 13th' living up to the original? It's not hard to top the sadness that was the original 'Friday the 13th'.

[atreyu_2020]

'Friday the 13th' living up to the original? It's not hard to top the sadness that was the original 'Friday the 13th'.

This film made the original a timeless classic...that's how bad it is.

You want to know the brutal truth? And I told this to my friend as soon as this film was over. I said that if they made this film the exact same way with 2 differences....change the name "Jason" and change "Camp Crystal Lake" then not only would this be a straight to dvd piece of garbage, but no one would see it and no one would claim how awesome it is. And yes, people are saying that.

That is the brutal truth.

Halloween remake didn't have to live up to the hype. They were two different films. The only hype surrounding it was if Zombie could keep up his track record. He didn't, but again, Halloween is a much, much better film than the rest of the new generation remakes. Easily.

You realize in my previous post I agreed 100% with what you said, right?

[atreyu_2020]

Yes, I did. I was basically just pointing out Halloween didn't have much hype because we knew it would be different from the original. The hype was because of Zombie, coming off a great film, and if he could do it again.

[hellnback]

before i even talk about what i thought about friday the 13th, let me first start by announcing the new freddy krueger for the upcoming nightmare reboot. the actor's name is jackie earle haley. jackie is playing the character rorschach as well in the watchmen movie. they also announced the director of the movie and well he's never done a movie ever before. but he's done some music videos, one of the videos is nirvana's "smells like teen spirit".

and now for what i thought about friday.
i went in psyched. i grew up watching the original movies so i went in hoping that they would stay true to the original first movies. well they didn't.. there were some elements but whoever did this movie didn't know jack about jason. everything went by so fast. and that epic moment where jason puts the mask on for the first time sucked. c'mon, it was a whole oops the potato bag on my head fell off and wait what is this thing on the floor, oh a hockey mask, guess i'll put it on. the mask was just laying about the floor of some old barn. stupid.

the first 20 minutes were great. people in the theater were loving it, then the main movie started and it couldn't live up to the start of the movie. i though i was watching a completely different movie series. jason was being spied on while he dragged a body to his hide out. there were only two kills that were...different, but the rest were lame death scenes. the movie was predictable, i knew exactly what was going to happen before it happened. maybe i've just watched too many friday movies and they no longer surprise me.
there were some parts i did enjoy. the boobs. especially the stupendous ones on that chick. i read reviews where they kept saying jason was some kind of pot farmer and that he just has this field of pot growing out there. nowhere in the movie is it mentioned that jason grew that pot, it's probably been there growing in the wild and idiots just happen to go looking for it all the time that jason just uses it to lure stoners in. the ending is predictable since it's obvious they wanted to have a jump scare at the end just like in the original. i saw it coming a mile away.

a nice gag thrown in during the movie was a tie in with the TX chainsaw massacre reboot. after jason scares everyone out of the house, the one blonde guy (can't even remember his name) runs through the woods, loses his gun, and then runs out to this road in the middle of the woods where he nearly gets run over by an old tow truck. the truck comes to a stop some yards away from him and the man inside sticks his arm out and waves to him. we don't know who the man is driving the tow truck and the blonde guy doesn't know if he can trust him. of course jason shows up and the old man in the tow truck leans out to look and quickly drives off. the old man happens to be old monty from the chainsaw movies and he's driving the tow truck. people in the theater recognized him and laughed.

[SatchVaiGilbert]

As far as Friday The 13th's go, I thought it was pretty good. The whole "intro" was actually really fucking awesome.

[Blood Shot]

i'm seeing it today. i cant wait. i heard he uses a bow and arrow.....

[atreyu_2020]

Basically, hellnback, the script took about 20 minutes to write because they probably wanted to meet some sort of deadline with their cheap marketing technique.

No matter what anyone says, that script was made in 20 minutes. I don't care. They didn't even try to build suspense with the "ending" of that piece of shit.

It's like, what can we do to have one last big scare? Well, let's have them randomly throw the "dead" Jason in the water for no reason what so ever, then in about 20 seconds later, have him POP UP!....Amazing ideas we have. We can't be more cliche and predictable even if we tried, it's great.

[hellnback]

at one point while watching the movie, my friend had to take a piss. so he took off. when he came back and sat down he told me there was a girl outside crying of fear. her boyfriend was holding her and trying to calm her down. i was like "damn this girl needs to get out more." there was nothing scary in the movie. not one thing made me jump. my friend made the comment that it was more humorous then scary. which it was. and then the entire time i'm watching the movie i'm like "where the hell is dean to save his brother sam?" i watch supernatural so i kept expecting dean to be there. weird. i did the same when i watched my bloody valentine 3d. i kept looking for sam to show up.

yes jason uses a bow and arrow. once. hell i didn't expect it when it happened but it's a quick scene. he's also good at throwing axes.

also i read that they're planning to do two more to complete a trilogy. if this is true than officially that would be a total of 13 friday the 13th movies. the original fridays part 1 through 8, then jason goes to hell, then jason X, then this remake, then two more and that's 13. in the dvd "his name was jason" it's mentioned that freddy vs jason is more of a stand alone movie. not really in those words but that's what they pretty much said.

[Roxtar]

***White text due to some spoilers***


Well, I went in expecting a cheesy slasher flick and that's is ultimately what I got, but I was disappointed. I was expecting it to be a little more stylized like the TCM remake while keeping the old 80's campy feel - not even close. Some of the dialogue was beyond retarded:

"You have perfect nipple placemant, baby."
"Your tits are stupendous!"

Etc., etc...

The hockey mask reveal was very anti-climactic, and you saw the ending coming a mile away. Why didn't Jason kill Clay's sister? Why did he hold her captive in that underground tunnel system? Where the fuck did that tunnel system come from? Too many questions, not enough answers. There was no character development whatsoever. The 20min. intro could have been time well-spent on that. But I can't be totally disappointed that it wasn't because the intro was the best part of the movie. I could go on...

One thing I did think was pretty cool was the wheelchair in Jason's basement as a tribute to Friday The 13th Part II.

Overall I'd give this a 4.8/10 because it felt like it took about as long to make as a peanut butter & jelly sandwich. It's worth a rental or download for one time viewing, but don't waste your money on a movie ticket.

[mightybosch]

I guess if the only reason you're viewing it is to see Jessica Biel's ass in those tight, wet jeans.

You got to admit - it's compelling viewing

Roxtar At least it's not pretending to be something it's not, like your favorite movie, Saw.

I dunno, I felt like a lot of the recent remakes were following the Saw concept.

Halloween: original - scary story about a boogyman chopping people up
remake - long drawn out description of a kid going mad

Texas Chainsaw: original - acid trip comedy horror
remake - serious dark terror

The Amityville remake was the closest 'modernising' of a 70's horror, but both were (imo) dull so the less said about that one the better. Or the Psycho remake, which was a shot for shot redo and more concept art.

Then again House of Wax worked, maybe they would do better improving on the real old movies.

[hellnback]

jason was holding clay's sister, whitney, captive cuz she reminded him of his mother. there's a scene where the guy with whitney sees the locket and mentions that she looks like the woman in the picture.

yes the dialouge was stupid. i think a simple line like "your tits are stupendous" would have been fine but the rest of the lines were stupid.

not saying that the unrated version will improve the movie but the dvd version is going to be unrated with a whole bunch of scenes left on the cutting room floor. some different death scenes, and by what i heard there's more backstory and one or two characters that got cut out. the crazy ralph character for example. although not called crazy ralph in the movie, the character in spirit is there, yet not even listed in the credits. this old man was supposed to show up earlier in the movie and tell the kids they were doomed paying homage to crazy ralph. they took it out but later we still see the old man anyway when he stops his tow truck when he nearly runs over that blonde guy. yeah the guy that played monty in TCM is the crazy ralph character. weird but even though i was dissapointed by the movie i do want to see the unrated version just to see if it's any different in some way.

you know i too wondered about the tunnel system. did they just reuse the sets of my bloody valentine 3d? was jason the one who did those tunnel systems. cuz they sure made it seem that way. he had them hidden all over the place. like in the bus. explains how he gets around faster than the kids. did he start doing these tunnels since way back in 1980 when he was a kid? that's 29 years of tunnel digging. although they looked they were done alot earlier than that. but could one person dig those tunnels alone. did jason kidnap pot smokers who tresspassed in the area and forced them to dig for him? killing them off once he had no more use for them. who knows. or were they built for the camp itself. there were airvents and fans down there and for what reason. the police mentioned they searched up there and found nothing, guessing jason was hiding down there in the tunnels when the police were searching around. maybe the unrated version will answer questions that weren't answered in the theatrical cut. but then again this is just a slasher/horror movie and nothing to kill off brains cells for.

[Roxtar]

Good call, I had forgotten about that.

did jason kidnap pot smokers who tresspassed in the area and forced them to dig for him? killing them off once he had no more use for them.

Think about what a ridiculous premise that is. Also, what was up with Jason having those lights? Who the hell is paying his electrical bill and why doesn't he kill the guy when he goes out there to check his meter?

[atreyu_2020]

What are your guys theory as to how Jason kept his "look-a-like" sister alive? I'm guessing McDonalds.

Also, pretty original how they had that one girl kept alive, when strangely enough, her brother is trying to find her. Good thing she looked like Jasons sister.....are you fucking kidding me? Oh, and to throw in the millions and millions of comic relief that not only wasn't funny...and not even "stupid funny" but annoying to hell and just plain ridiculous. It's like all these new age horror puss remakes are trying to follow the same formula. Have a WB cast, throw in terrible comic relief that only a 5 year old would find amusing, and have lame uninspiring killings.

Also how is it that the "best detectives" were working on the "case" yet this bike riding douche bag can find all these things on the ground and even find Jasons cabin? Like I said, you can suspend disbelief, but you cannot suspend common sense. Yes, it's a slasher film, but...strangely enough, not all slasher films are typical, cliche, and fucking retarded like this one.

Honestly, I think See No Evil brought more to the table than this shit, and that's saying quite a lot.

[yureeka47]

I wasn't a huge fan of the movie.. Jason changed a lot.. He was no longer a mindless killer.. he actually sets traps and even uses some torture tactics. It's unusual, but watchable.

For once, there was actually some suspense in a Friday film. Usually they are so lame, that you actually cheer for Jason and laugh when he gets his victims.. This movie, I actually wanted Clay to survive.. which says a lot.

Atreyu, you're a fucking idiot. The halloween remake was by far the biggest steaming pile of garbage I have ever seen. Myers was a night stalker, not a 7 foot tall killing machine. They completely destroyed a fantastic classic character.

Honestly atreyu, just stfu.

Haha, thanks for that.

And btw, when did I say I liked the Halloween remake? And are you trying to say Zombie's Halloween was the first Halloween to use Michael Myers as a "7 foot tall killing machine?" Because I'm pretty sure Halloween 2 all the way to the remake used that same formula. And judging from your review of this movie, I imagine you probably enjoyed Halloween: Resurrection. Did you care for the Busta Rhymes character too? Since you know, Friday the 13th did such a good job at developing a relationship between the characters and the audience, since they uniquely tried something different to make you "care" for the characters, I imagine Resurrection did the same, right?

I seriously can't believe I just read a post that someone gave Friday the 13th credit for making the audience care for the characters. Seriously dude, even the most mindless Friday the 13th fans don't take it that seriously and know what they're getting into. You're beneath that, and that's really saying something.

Go watch crap like Timber Falls or some shit, since apparently you like to study character development through cheap, b-rate, straight-to-dvd, mindless slasher bullshit. Perhaps you'll gain a mutual relationship with those characters too.

The next friday the 13th should be set in afghanistan or iraq. let jason do some damage over there.

[mr.snruB]

Hollywood just runs a series into the ground and then remakes the whoe series again

From the ads I've seen, this just looks like your generic new horror movie, no different from those cinematic abortions House of Wax, the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre, or whatever else these damn young kids are watching these days

[Wyld Chyld]

this was pretty much what i expected but i enjoyed it. in fact i think its one of the better "new remakes" ive seen.

they did break that rule that everyone cmplains about thugh. taking the psycho killer with no rules and making a puss out of him. but it wasnt so bad in this film. im talking about Jason keeping the girl alive. i do understand the reasoning behind it but again; Jason showed mercy. id just like to see a remake done "Joker style". killing for the lulz of it.

theres a lot of throwback and easter egg stuff in the movie. i found it was pretty funny that you see hockey and archery (bow and arrow) trophies in Jasons house after he killed the guy with the bow.

there was character development in this movie though. just think about it. that whole 2nd act was character develpment and is the reason the movie lasted as long as it did. we learned a lot about Clay (is overall a nice guy, dosnt start confrontaton but wont back down when confronted. though deemed irresponsible he showed up when it matters most.) and lots about the blonde guy too. (the cheezy lines are part of his character. has a large ego. talks a tough game but is a bitch when chips are down. overrall douche-chode).

i thought the hockey mask discovery was fine though would have preferd him wearing it the whole time. i also thought the black guy should have lived and thought he might. after he made a big deal twice about "not being stereotyped" and what not, they should have let token black guy make it to the end.

[Amadeus]

To those who've seen it:

Better or worse than Freddy vs. Jason?

[hellnback]

i wondered about where the hell jason got the lights, then i realized they were working off of a generator. although it's not mentioned or seen in the movie, they should have at least. maybe it's one of those things left on the cutting room floor. the lights had to have come from what was left of camp crystal lake and he was just reusing them, but then you would wonder how many lights he must have had. you would think that after all those years he would have run out or something. but the lights were being run from a generator. in the original movie the counselors can't get the lights to work, so one of them goes to a cabin/shed and switches the generator on. it ran on gasoline. that's the most logical explanation for the lights out there. weird how there was no generator sound though.

someone above kept calling whitney jason's look a like sister. uh you mean look a like mom. maybe he was feeding her, they should have shown at least one scene of jason tossing her a snack. my friend joked at how unrealistic it was that she didn't grow any armpit hair during those 6 weeks. cuz somewhere late in the movie she raises her arms and she's clean. i was like well jason likes his victims well kempt.

i think the last episode of psych was great cuz they paid homage to the friday the 13th movies. the opening had a guy with a sack on his head and then instead of the friday the 13th logo coming towards the screen and breaking glass, it said tuesday the 17th and instead of jason being underwater chained to a rock it was a rick astley pinata that was thrown down there. at the end of the show, they had the black guy, gus, on the row boat enjoying the lake and from behind him the rick astley pinata jumps out of the water and attacks him.

[BUTTFREAK]

people went to see it :lol:
was it everything you hoped for? :lol:

[Edgecrusher]

This film made the original a timeless classic...that's how bad it is.

You want to know the brutal truth? And I told this to my friend as soon as this film was over. I said that if they made this film the exact same way with 2 differences....change the name "Jason" and change "Camp Crystal Lake" then not only would this be a straight to dvd piece of garbage, but no one would see it and no one would claim how awesome it is. And yes, people are saying that.

That is the brutal truth.

Halloween remake didn't have to live up to the hype. They were two different films. The only hype surrounding it was if Zombie could keep up his track record. He didn't, but again, Halloween is a much, much better film than the rest of the new generation remakes. Easily.

What gets me is that you actually watched it, less than a week after its been out, knowing damn well that you wouldn't like it.

:dunce:

I don't understand this complaint at all (and it's actually a common complaint from a lot of people). The wood chipper guy that Jason killed in the barn who was a perv that liked mannequins continually said, "Someone's been stealing kerosene from the barn" (can't remember if he also said gasoline). Jason's obviously well-versed in stealing the essentials from around town (such as fuel, weapons, food, etc.). He's got this down pat.

Much better! its brilliant! got to go see it at the movies. Also found this: http://www.fridaythe13th-themovie.com/intl/uk/emergency/main.html

He held her captive because he thought she was his mother . because of the locket.the body of Jason being put into the lake was a homage to the first one where he grabbed the girl in the boat.:banghead:

[BUTTFREAK]

it was good

[Metalocalypse]

Now I understand why he held her captive but at the end of the intro when hes running towards her, he swings his arm down with the machete trying to kill her and I assumed he did until I saw her being held hostage. Did he just miss the swing and then change his mind and say "oh ill just keep her captive instead"?

[JoNIKaH]

Basically, hellnback, the script took about 20 minutes to write [...]
No matter what anyone says, that script was made in 20 minutes. I don't care.
I say it didn`t have a script.

@ Metalocalypse :
After I saw the movie, I thought that scene was shot JUST for the trailer

[Roxtar]

1.) When you have just heard a friend being brutally slaughtered outside it's in your best interest to disband from the rest of the group and wander upstairs where it's dark and investigate an open window. Don't forget to check behind the shower curtain either to be sure!

2.) If you see a creepy masked man with a machete in the woods, don't stay in the water or swim the opposite direction. Swim to the dock closest to him so he can murder you quicker.

3.) After a man held you captive for weeks, murdered all your friends, and was damn near impossible to kill- don't run to the police as soon as possible. A symbolic death by the lake is far more important.

4.) It's completely normal to sit in the living room and masterbate while waiting for your friend to return from being only 50 metres away.

5.) Bree's tits are stupendous.

6.) Jason can die long enough to be wrapped up in a sheet, fall to the bottom of a lake and come back up with the force of a whale and break wood planks that can hold 2 people.

6.) Bree has perfect nipple placement.

7.) Every brunette that calls Jason's name fools him into thinking it's mom even though her mummifed head is sitting on a shelf in the bathroom.

8.) Jason has an elaborate series of tunnels underground like the gopher from Caddyshack.

9.) When you come home from a nice walk with a hot guy - who you managed to avoid jumping on out of consideration for your douchebag boyfriend - it's perfectly normal to have a non-reaction to finding him locked in a room, having sex with your friend.

10.) If you're friend says "don't take my boat" and you do it anyway, it will make you're girlfriend extremely horny, and she will water ski topless for you.

11.) If you can't find your friend, he's probably in the fridge.

Fucking piece of shit movie that should have never been remade.

[Papero]

The movie is decent, it's on the better side of other horror remakes. Hell it's on the better side of most horror movies today, it kept me entertained and not just because of the women.

IMO, people calling it a POS need to see what else the industry has been releasing.

SPOILER





Fucking pissed me off though, they have Jason in a chain hanging from the ceiling and brother and sister decide to hug. That mother fucker just tried killing you and you have a chance to stab him with all of those wonderful stabby things in the barn, and they hug and watch him choke. Of course the beam breaks, and he tries to continue his murderous rampage, that could of been completely avoided had they hacked him up when he was vulnerable.

Is there a reason people call Jason invincible? It seems to be he has some kind of INCREDIBLE genetic trait that allows him to almost hibernate, have super strength and heal rapidly from even the most gruesome of wounds. I haven't seen all the movies, has he like come back from the dead after having his cut off or something?

26 yo male here, went to see it, Never saw the first . . . or any others. I thought this movie sucked. The who movie I could sum up in the phrase, "What the fuck?"

Poor filming in action scenes and gore was severely curtailed for a horror movie. This is something for children 14 years old or something. No horror in it at all, just sudden loud bangs and such to make people jump, and even those failed.

There were no loud bangs in this movie at all, name a movie in existence that's actually scary? None exist, all scary movies blow, every single one ever released absolutely sucks.

Because it was from 1980 doesn't mean it was good people, so don't start naming movies you saw when you were 3 as scary, had they been released today they would be in the same category as friday the 13th

Alien (1979).

Bullshit if you didn't jump during the air duct sequence.

The Descent (2005).

Bullshit if you didn't feel claustrophobic during the spelunking sequences or didn't jump during the first encounter scene.

Halloween (1978).

Bullshit if you weren't frightened about where the killer was at certain points during the movie and nervous during the final chase sequence.

Those were scary movies. The Descent is the only "true" horror movie released in the last decade. And that's fucking sad.

There's already a sequel in the works. Considering how bad this flopped I don't see why they're even talking about this but nothing Hollywood does surprises me anymore.

FRIDAY THE 13TH Sequel Officially In The Works!

Jason always finds a way to come back! And considering the huge opening box office success of the new FRIDAY THE 13TH, it should come as no surprise that a sequel is already in the works. The Hollywood Reporter says that New Line and Platinum Dunes are moving forward on FRIDAY THE 13TH 2, a follow-up to the recently released reboot of the franchise.

Writers Damian Shannon and Mark Swift who penned the latest FRIDAY, as well as FREDDY VS JASON are beginning work on the next installment's script. Unlike the first FRIDAY THE 13TH, the new film will not be borrowing elements from any of the franchise's previous entries, but instead go in a new direction stemming from the reboot.

The article also states, "Marcus Nispel, who directed the latest film, is a possible but unlikely candidate to helm the “Friday” follow-up; the director is believed to be fielding offers for movies across other genres." No word on if either Jared Padalecki and Amanda Righetti will be reprising their roles. (Let's hope Derek Mears will come back as Jason Voorhees!)

Since Platinum Dunes is currently prepping to begin shooting A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET on April 27th with Samuel Bayer directing, the new FRIDAY THE 13TH probably won't hit theaters until sometime in the 2nd half of 2010.

of course they're making a sequel. there was already talks about two more (part 2 and 3) to complete a trilogy and complete the proposed 13 friday the 13th movies. remember there are 10 from the original series. 8 of them were paramount movies. then new line took over with two more. now paramount and new line teamed up to do the 11th. freddy vs jason is said to take place somewhere within the friday and nightmare films and is not considered part of the main continuity, just off side i guess. with just two more that should finally finish what they started. although i doubt it.

very true. Not all old horror movies are good but not all new horror movies are bad.

Just most are.
