Friday the 13th (2009) Review

Jason is an enormous and imposing figure on the big screen. From the first chee chee chee in the darkened theatre to the last, F13 is filled with everything a horror fan waits for.

The dialogue between the characters AKA the victims was very well written and witty. All the kills were interest worthy and on a sliding scale from three to ten. A nice variety. The storyline was written combing elements from Friday the 13th 1-3 in a skillful and insightful way. The music kind of stood out like a buy the sountrack offer, but I can forgive that. Camera work annoyed me from steady to shakey cam, way too much, and cuts were a bit abrupt in a few scenes. But that can be forgiven also.

Jason is a Horror icon, and I liked how he was positioned throughout the movie, be it a closeup or with the sky as a dark backdrop. My only problem with the story would be not further explaining jasons background, But really that could be further explained in the sequal. Over all it was a good movie for anyone who was a fan of the original franchise or slasher films in general.
