Friday The 13th is a decent but flawed remake from director Marcus Nispel who does a good job in making this movie but the lack of real scares, inventive deaths, more suspense, and character development is what weighed down the film the most. I preferred My Bloody Valentine over this one but Friday the 13th isn't that bad it just could've been better. The cast for the most part are solid in their roles including Jared Padalecki, Danielle Panabaker, Amanda Righetti, Aaron Yoo, and Travis Va Winkle. The rest of the cast are okay but they aren't given much to do and like Yoo their characters are written out too soon for you to even care whether they survive or not. The same problem a lot of movies like this seem to have and none of them improve on either. Derek Mears makes Jason Vorhees an imposing villain even with no dialogue. He's intimidating, cunning, smart, and fast a deadly psychopath willing to kill just about anyone in his way except of course if they look like his mother. The bloody deaths committed by Mears as Jason are well executed but none of them are memorable, suspenseful, or original. The few glimpses we see of Jason's real face are disgusting and at least somewhat realistic. This film also had probably one of the longest openings to a movie before the words Friday the 13th even came up onto the screen which wasn't that bad but the beginning could've been shorter. Jared Padalecki from Supernatural does a good job as the hero considering he doesn't even show up till over twenty minutes into the movie making his storyline feel a bit rushed and it also seemed like he wasn't involved in the action all that much until near the end but he was the closest thing the film had to a lead. The movie does have some explicit sex scenes especially the second one and nudity mostly involving a topless girl. As I guy I'm not complaining but they kind of felt unnecessary I mean I'm sure there's some way people can make these type of movies suspenseful and scary without showing people having rough sex for a little while and girls showing off their cleavage for a few minutes. Luckily Nispel keeps the movie at a trim 97 minute running time. Overall Friday The 13th is a so-so remake with bloody deaths, a little suspense, and decent performances by the cast but after watching it you can't help but get this feeling you've seen it all before in other movies out there. If you're a big Friday the 13th fan you might like this one more than I did because it wasn't that scary or suspenseful as much as it should have been and ended up being a letdown.
