Our Review

“Friday the 13th” (2009) reignites the infamous horror franchise, introducing Jason Voorhees to a new generation while attempting to preserve the eerie ambiance that original fans fell in love with. With a modern twist, this reboot enhances the gore and delivers higher-intensity scares, while the storyline respectfully nods to the original film, drawing in elements that feel nostalgically familiar yet contemporarily relevant. However, for some enthusiasts of the original series, the film may tread too heavily on the modern horror trope of prioritizing gore over psychological fear. Nonetheless, it successfully serves up a bundle of horrifying jumpscares and brutal sequences that will undoubtedly jolt audiences.
