As far back as I coud remember Friday the 13th was at it's major peak when horror flicks were ruling movie waves, but now it seems people can't seem to get enough of this particular franchise.
For me the originals can and WILL NEVER be topped no matter how good a script, budget, VFX and acting goes. Why on earth don't these pathetic stupid ass Fat-Cat producers call it a day? My only assumption as to why this maybe is because of the DVD craze that's seeming to sweep the everyday market. Let's be realistic although I know I'm interviewing, horror films are too making a major comeback on this market since alot of over-looked materials are being given a spruced up transfer. Example to this are the many films released by Anchor Bay entertainment that can't seem to stop with their elaborate collection of horror features. And impressive box-sets (i.e. Nightmare on Em Street collection and The Beyond). Anyway back to the review.
Okay this movie opens up in the "21st Century", with David Cronnenberg making a short appearance only to be (oh sorry can't give away).
Nice chicks I must admit as this film had more than just a hand full to deal with (ain't Lexa Doig a Hot-Dog in this?)
It was also good seeing Kane Hodder reprising his role as the infamous Jason with some kick ass bio upgrade to his figure and mask. However what compelled me to watch this stupid piece of crap junk was it's technical achievements considering that this too was shot on digital beating out Attack of the Clones as the first film to be released digitally.
All in all not bad but take several things to take into account incase you've been following the Friday series avidly: Slashings, stupid Jason walks, dumb acting, flat rate dialogue, sex and the classic "chi chi cha cha" sound.
For me it was so s**t it's good how ironic don't you think? 6/10
