hollywood remake machine still drone on and and eighty semi classic friday the 13th be the late film to get the unwelcome treatment . i can not say i be a massive fan of the friday the 13th series while certainly it one of the good slasher film example and but that not say much in a niche so lacking in good film . however and compare to this remake while the original friday the 13th be like ferrari compare to ford and it lead zeppelin to the spice girl while mario bava to michael bay . to say this update be poor would be a gross understatement . the plot be and of course and just your basic slasher fare . the scene be set at camp crystal lake while where a bunch of kid have travel to camp in the wood and steal some of the local weed that grow wild in the area . it not long before there a discussion about the legend of jason voorhees and and shortly thereafter all the kid be butcher . a while later and someone name clay set off on his motorbike to look for his sister ( who be one of the kid from the start ) and he meet some other kid who be there to be slaughter . the film be a remake of friday the 13th and but effectively it a mish mash of idea from the first few film of the series . the plot involve jason mother be briefly skip over in the first few minute a the producer know they couldn not market a movie without jason voorhees in it . there also a scenario where jason find a hockey mask and put it on and which feel completely out of place . obviously the producer know jason have to wear the mask so they could put it on the poster and but it would have be less silly if he be just wear it from the start . none of the character be interest at all and and only one be memorable . i do not remember his name but he the one do a tom cruise impression . director marcus nispel ( who do quite well with the tcm remake ) expertly capture the modern horror mtv music video style and and this basically gloss over any attempt the film make to be shock or scary . there some gore but it doesn not make any impact . there also some ridiculous idea about jason take a prisoner and which be obviously put in the movie to dampen it and ensure that it get the r rating and which help the producer to make more money . overall and this be an absolutely abysmal effort that do no justice to the original and be clearly make to cash in . luckily and it do not cost me anything to see ( but i still want my money back . ) .
