Friday the 13th (2009)
So I don't want to call it the remake because it really isn't. I'm a big fan of the early Friday movies, so did this one live up? Well kinda. Jason is pretty good, it's not the super-zombie Jason from the last bunch of movies which to me was a good thing Spoiler: except at the end when he comes back from the dead for the final scare. The kills were... well just okay. The kill where Spoiler: he has the girl burning alive in the sleeping bag was fantastic, and there were a few other ones that were nice just because Spoiler: there is a bunch that kinda come from nowhere like the kid getting an arrow in the head while driving the boat but a bunch of them were just average and what you would see in any slasher flick. Heck Spoiler: they introduce a damn woodchipper and no one goes through it!
All in all though I did enjoy it. It's not the best slasher flick of all time but it was a fun hour and a half.
3/5
