Friday the 13th

Pros: sex and gore, old-school horror is back in HD!
Cons: few surprises, drenched in stereotypes

Nineteen years after the first, the Friday the 13th series is still running strong, and the latest directed by Marcus Nispel has all the right elements on the surface, plenty of chase-horror, topless girls, and an actual budget to work with.  As a ...

Pros: I's nice to see Jason back.
Cons: Over-edited, the kills are pretty meh.

It's pretty well known that I'm anti-remake, particularly when it comes to horror films. I'm not so much opposed to the idea of revisiting horror's most iconic characters-it's more a case of being disappointed that the revisiting is done mainly to ...

Pros: We get plenty of carnage, teenagers in peril, ample breasts, and creative murders throughout.
Cons: I wish they used the original Harry Manfredini score for the soundtrack.

As one might guess, from my reviews around here, I'm a huge horror movie fan. During my formative years as a wee lad, my mother (bless her soul) would suffer through all manner of drive in movie schlock with me. Classics like Death Ship, Krull, The ...

Pros: one neat death scene, not a bad sequel
Cons: overall weak death scenes and few scares

First things first.  Upon hearing of the new Friday the 13th, some fans of the original probably wondered, as I did, "Oh god, why do they need to remake this, especially with Michael Bay attached?"  The good news is, (1) this film isn't ...

Pros: Classic Horror
Cons: No plot.

In the 1980’s the so- called slasher film genre was in full swing. When Michael Myers and the “Halloween” franchise became the highest grossing independent film in cinema history, the studios scrambled to get in on the booming genre and ...

Pros: some kills, dark and serious mood
Cons: characters, acting, script, plot

The decade we live in now, 2000-2010 should be called the generation of borrowers, at least if you go by Hollywood's preference of remaking movies from the 70s or 80s rather than developing new ideas. This is especially true of the horror genre. Remakes ...

Pros: Much better than I expected, same music.
Cons: It's a remake, they're never as good as the original.

And by the way, this movie made $42.2 million on its opening weekend, beating out all the other movies at the box office......and ahoy, there be spoilers... On February, Friday the 13th, we went out to see "Friday the 13th" as our romantic ...

Pros: Julianna Guill's right breast; Aaron Yoo; Julianna Guill's left breast; Jason finding the mask
Cons: Actors uniformly suck; not scary; hardly acknowledges orginal FRIDAY THE 13TH at all; gratuitously bad

Early in FRIDAY THE 13TH, a group of young adults make the pilgrimage to Camp Crystal Lake, which supposedly houses a sweet depository of weed. And a homicidal legend. Regardless, the prospect of riches outweighs the risk of horrible ...

Pros: A solid, well made horror film.
Cons: Standard fare with a touch of a new twist.

THE FOLLOWING IS A REVIEW OF THE DVD RELEASE OF THIS FILMS. EPINIONS CURRENTLY DOESN'T LIST THIS AS A DVD RELEASE. Horror movie icons have been known to reappear since the original master of monsters came up with THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN. You ...

Pros: Lots of blood and nudity.
Cons: bad acting and hokey story, but what do you expect?

The Friday the 13th film series is easily the most recognizable franchise in the horror genre. With 10 films, one crossover and now one remake under its belt, the classic series stands over it competition in terms of its influence in American pop ...

Pros: humorous dialogue, great action, awesome graphics and special effects, lively CGI effects, intense shockers
Cons: simple plot

The new "Friday the 13th" movie is more like a sequel to the old series instead of a remake. They did not redevelop Jason like Rob Zombie did with Michael Meyers. It begins with the classic scene of Jason's mother going after the surviving girl of the ...
