Saw this last night… apart from the insanely predictable plot (as in, you see a character for the first time and within seconds anyone who’s watched a slasher movie before can see instantly who’s going to end up as a corpse and who’s going to live) i thoroughly enjoyed this, perhaps it was down to the fact that it was the first horror movie i’ve seen in the cinema in the last 2 years, maybe it was the interesting death scenes… a fantastic machete through a Jetty into a girl hiding underneath’s skull… The only thing missing in my eyes was (as they made a point of two people standing right near it at separate moments in a rather ominous way with Jason close by) was “Death by bug zapper”.
My biggest problem with it was how Jason at times was superhuman but during the final battle with Jared Padalecki and his on screen sister, he was just another normal man in a hockey mask, overcome all too easily by a couple of kicks and punches. Although in true F13 style… there’s always one last Jason moment :-) Worth a watch if you liked the others, not as good as the original movie, probably on a par with Freddy vs Jason, definitely better than a lot of the weaker offerings out of the now 12 movies (if you count Freddy vs Jason as a F13 / Nightmare movie).
Plenty of kills, could have done with being made in the late 70’s or early 80’s for more gore, or at least having Tom Savini return for the effects but still worth a look.
