Slasher flicks are time and time again a guilt-ridden enjoyment for numerous movie arers. Yes, they won’t gather critics’ votes. They won’t get A+ scores from the movie media. They won’t even get C scores from home-grown internet pundits. Slasher flicks will always be shriek-filled tales with meaningless outlines.
But throughout the years, these slasher movies have carved – excuse the clever remark – a place of their own.
A large part of the success of these slasher flicks can be credited to the Friday the 13th series and its 15 manifestations. Friday the 13th is a chain of movies that starred a hockey mask-wearing psycho killer named Jason Voorhees. So popular is this series that it has become a core of pop culture, being recommended in many news channels for a good part of the newly completed century.
In 2009, a rerun of the series will be presented for the movie going enthusiasts to live through. One more time, fans of slasher flicks and individuals who are new to the variety will have face the father of slasher-premised films, this time reinvented for the latest generation.
Right, Jason Voorhees is about to make a return!
This time, he won’t be battling another movie fiend icon. He won’t be in space, freed from years of cryogenic deam. He won’t be warding off the dare of a female telepath.
In its place, we will behold, or re-behold, the nativity of a serial predator. We will discover the tale that produced a mess such as Jason Voorhees. We will witness him frighten the unfortunate travelers experiencing the hot waters of Camp Crystal Lake.
It’s 2009 and it’s time for another Friday the 13th!
The restore is directed by Marcus Nispel, who also directed the restore of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The movie will present Derek Mears as Jason Voorhees, with Jared Padalecki and Amanda Righetti playing the male and female mains, respectively.
The movie will be shown on a Friday the 13th, particularly February 13, 2009.
