Friday the 13th (2009) - 5 stars out of 10

Warning: This is NOT a remake, but instead a "reimagining." A pretty standard slasher film: Sex, nudity, profanity, stereotypical "high" black guy, stereotypical intelligent Asian guy, drugs, alcohol, and of course a few dozen graphic deaths. This movie lacks a clever twist - it merely introduces the characters, shows most of them die, then ends. Giving credit where it is due, the movie is extremely intense and really does culminate at the end with a great line from Amanda Righetti. Jason is really scary but throughout the movie, little emotional attachment is felt toward any of the characters. This is a good one to watch with a cuddle buddy but don't expect it to to change your worldview or anything spectacular.
