I saw Friday the 13th. I guess it would be considered a remake of part 2. I am glad they got past that Jason's mother part that made the original unbelievable. I gave this a 4 out of 5 as I also gave the original 4 out of 5.
No Kevin Bacon, but it has a Jared Padalecki, which reminds me of the Clark Kent guy in Smallville, and the movie has same stereotypical chars (nerd, jock, slut, earthy girl, pot smoker, risk taker) that the original movies have. Has shakey camera like all modern remakes seem to have (during fights), which I do not like. Body count seems a tad low, but not by too much. I do like the mask explanation though it left me wondering why Jason hadn't killed that guy in the 20 years preceeding. I also wondered how the house seemed to have electricity, for the lights in the basement. (does Jason pay the power bill?). And does he replace the lightbulbs? I wasn't as much in awe as I was in the original with the mother's head surrounded by candles, as I was with this house shrine.
Be ready for part 2 or 3 or Revenge/Return, or whatever they call it, since it is doing well in the theater.
