Friday The 13th (2009) Review

I have to admit that I was skeptical when I heard they were going to be doing a remake of the classic Friday The 13th. But after seeing it (twice) I must say that I was quite impressed. I've been a long time fan of the franchise. I love them all, even the cheesier ones. This new Friday movie has everything that the first four brought to the table. You've got your group of teenagers going into the woods. There's some excellent T & A, which as of late was a major element that was lacking in the Friday series. This re-visioning is unique, because you actually get to see Jason as a person and not just some crazed killer who lives in the woods. You get to see how he lives, and you get to see some emotion. Now, that emotion is just anger topped with a little bit of rage, but it's emotion nonetheless. I look forward to the continuing killings of Mr. Voorhees in this new Friday saga. I hope this opens the door for many more sequels over the years to come.
