Review of Friday the 13th (2009) by Dominic P — 04 Jan 2013

Combining elements from films 1-3 of the original series means that Jason gets his hockey mask early on, but also means that the best part of the original movie, the twist ending is squandered in the opening ten minutes.

Indeed, re-imanging horror icon Jason Voorhees as a hulking mass of violent intent who now runs after his victims instead of lumbering is this movies only master stroke. Otherwise, this slice and dice thriller is a case of been there killed that.
