Isaac (codfather-84460) Going to rewatch this movie, I thought about the time when I loved this movie because of how different it presented Jason and the kills and gore were actually surprisingly good but upon rewatch, this is definitely one of the worst horror movies I've seen in a while. Don't get me wrong, most of the Friday the 13th movies are pretty dreadful which can especially be applied to the ninth and tenth Friday movie which were so dreadful that it would never be topped but I think I've been proved considerably wrong.First off, the story is completely derivative from the original movie which to be fair, is a recurring problem with these movies. Bunch of superficial young adults to a place near a lake and evil person kills them. Sound familiar?The characters are all so shallow at most points that it alone makes me want to throw the disc out of the window or as a matter of fact, any device you could watch it on. All of them are oblivious idiots who are honestly just there for a quick buck which makes this movie so much worse as you need good characters to carry a convincing plot and story which this movie has none of the aforementioned.Some of the acting is actually so obnoxiously dreadful, that it made me laugh out loud. You may think that just because Ben Feldman is in this means that I'm wrong and I'm a false critic and yes, he's actually decent but the script that he has to work with is actually so baffling that it's hilarious.There is also a scene that doesn't make me laugh, but just makes me angry. About two thirds of the way through, there is a gratuitous and elongated sex scene with two of the worst actors and characters in the movie and actually has about four to five minutes of screen time which is so awful that it makes me angry. With a producer like Michael Bay on the team, is it that much of a surprise that this scene exists?Overall, Friday the 13th (2009) is actually one of the worst movies I have seen in a long while and I'm giving it the lowest rating possible with a one out of ten.
chrisw-17947 Friday the 13th is a classic horror film. This remake is just beyond stereotyped. There is no character development. Jason is not horrifying in this film. Just another bad remake
maraki-lost I have not seen the ''original'' because I am pretty sure I would not like it because it is an older film and most of the times I don't feel the vibe others get from example films of the 90's and so on. So I am not actually going to compare those two, I just rated it on what I saw.Because of all the hype surrounding Jason Voorhees and Friday the 13th as a date, I decided to give the film a try and see what the fuss is all about.!!HUGE SPOILERS!!The story was promising: Jason is an extremely self-conscious about his disfigured face child who's only loved by his mother and drowns because no one kept an eye on him. So after his mother's death and his horrible childhood experience, he starts killing everyone that visits the camp and some other people living nearby. So far so good. But without exaggeration, I predicted almost all his moves, even how he would kill his victims. I predicted how the blonde would pull the curtain, how he would throw the ax at the black guy, how the police arriving wouldn't be more than one guy, how he would die at the door, how only the siblings would survive, how the girl would save her brother by distracting Jason, how he wouldn't have died and would show up from underwater (was literally screaming at the scene ''don't stand so close to the water''), how he would shoot the guy on the boat from afar and then the boat would hit the girl.......and so many other actions that I could literally have written the script, which made the film predictable and ultimately, boring.
marieltrokan The 2009 remake, Friday the 13th, is the reaction to weakness being attacked by the reaction to guilt. The target is one kind of transport, and the attacker is another kind of transport. The transport which is committing the assault is a transport which is subject to time and isn't subject to time. The other transport is a transport where afterwards and timelessness have the power to be synonymous.In Friday the 13th (2009), a traveller who is the timelessness of afterwards and the timed nature of timelessness is being made a victim to a traveller who is the nature of just different types of time being identical. The victim traveller is the privilege of timelessness being incorrect and the menace traveller is the burden of order being incorrect.For one traveller, the importance of right and wrong is wrong. For the other traveller, chaos is right to be chaos. For the menace traveller, morality is the rejection of morality. For the victim traveller, immorality is the acceptance of immorality. For the menace traveller, responsibility means to be wicked. For the victim traveller, responsibility means to reject responsibility. So in other words, Friday the 13th (2009) is about inconsistency being a victim and it's about inconsistency being the creation of a victim. Inconsistency is the injury and it's the cause of the injury.An inconsistency is a violation of rules. In light of this, the violation is something which is acting as a victim and as the abuser. The act of betrayal is the act of abusiveness and victimisation.To be abusive, and to be the target of the abuse is in fact the very same behaviour. Abuse is the mandate of history, and so is being a target of abuse. The ensuing logic, therefore, is that it's not possible to be a victim of abuse without having first made an arrangement with the abuser. Because of this, the abuser is forever exempt from criticism due to their misconduct.Subsequently, the abuser must be criticised on the sole basis that their abusiveness isn't why they're being criticised. The abuser can be prevented from committing abuse, however, the source of the obstacle to abusiveness must derive from not wanting to criticise abusiveness itself. Only when peace acts against itself can abusiveness have a chance of being stopped.To prevent wickedness, peace has a responsibility to attack itself.Since peace is the structure of no observation - symmetry is no observation - the very prospect of peace turning on itself is the root theme of Friday the 13th. The lack of observation is equal, and it's the lack of observation which has a responsibility to attack itself. But how?In Friday the 13th (2009), the act of seeing is treated and has the effect of being a source of torment. Being seen by other people is treated by the movie as a source of humiliation - and this applies to all the characters, but not Jason. When people see Jason, the effect is sympathy and subservience. When "normal people" see each other, the effect is embarrassment, satire and shyness.The source of satire and abuse has been made into peace by the satire and abuse being linked to sight, which is what highlights the 2009 remake of Friday the 13th a genius work of art. The script accomplishes its goal, of getting peace to prevent wickedness by attacking peace by realising the truth that sight itself is the wickedness. The basic act of sight is the true source of evil.To Willa Ford, Jared Padalecki, Derek Mears, Julianna Guill, Amanda Righetti, Danielle Panabaker, America Olivo, Aaron Yoo, Ben Feldman, Travis Van Winkle, Jonathan Sadowski and Arlen Escarpeta: you should all be very proud, and very satisfied with the movie that you were part of. The movie that you were part of is a movie which links beauty to the inability to see. The victims of Jason all have an aura of visual beauty about them, or a behaviour of beauty, and the point of this is to symbolise the wickedness of sight. To see is to be abusive, and future evolution ought to mean the inability to observe
