Review – Friday the 13th (2009)

Here we go again. This isn’t really a remake, or if it is then it’s a remake of the first three Fridays with a lot left out and a lot of new stuff packed in. The film-makers assume that the audience is already familiar with the Jason saga or at least that a quick campfire tale Cliff’s Notes version will suffice to bring everyone up to speed. Not a bad guess, really. Most folks who rent pictures of this ilk aren’t in it for the brilliant weave of the story or Oscar-caliber acting. They’re more likely to be after gory violence and boob shots, both of which are supplied aplenty by this production. Mildly amusing
