Friday the 13th has an incredibly powerful first 15-20 minutes.
It really kicks off with a bang.
Jason is back better than ever.
Then something goes fractionally wrong and we fall back into old territory.
Everything becomes a bit too familiar.
The main characters are strong in their performance without being memorable.
The cameos are the real scene stealers including a gas station attendant and a man named Donnie.
A lot of the jokes from all concerned really hit the mark though and are a nice touch to the film.
The Friday the 13th remake is what it is and at the end of the day probably all that could realistically have been hoped for.
It won’t decrease the seemingly ever growing hate of remakes, but it certainly won’t add to it either and that in itself is an achievement.
Searching for his missing sister, Clay heads up to the eerie woods of legendary Crystal Lake where he stumbles on the creaky remains of rotting old cabins that lie in wait behind moss-covered trees.
And that’s not the only thing hiding under the brush. Against the advice of police and cautions from the locals, Clay pursues what few leads he has with the help of a young woman he meets among a group of college kids up for an all-thrills weekend.
But they are about to find much more than they bargained for.
Nice!!
enjoy!
