Friday the 13th

The lights go down, the music score comes in through the systems, and 15 minutes in the movie comes the killer of the film Jason Voorhees killing at least 5 people before the main credit title of the film even pops up.  Now that is how a horror movie should start.

This past Sunday I went to the Regal Cinemas at Waterford Lakes in Orlando, FL to see the revamp of the popular horror franchise "Friday the 13th".  Revamped by Michael Bay's production company Platinum Dunes, the same company that revamped "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and Amityville Horror", comes this new version of the Jason franchise and I must say it was quite good.  I'm not a big remake fan; I love the original masterpieces of any film, but this version of the killer Jason was well done for a horror.

One thing I like d about the revamp is that in the beginning of the film during the credits the audiences catches a glimpse of how the murdering really started in Camp Crystal Lake; meaning showing the mother of Jason killing the camp counselors before her fateful beheading by the remaining survivor.  Then the film starts with Jason.  This I liked because I am a huge fan of the Friday the 13th franchise and I know that the first film the person doing all the killings was originally Jason's mother hellbent on revenge.

For those horror fans who love the old school Jason with how he massacres his victims, the murder and mayhem, then this film is definitely for you.

Overall rating for a Horror film: 4 out of 5
