Storyline

A group of young adults set up tent near the abandoned summer camp where a series of gruesome murders are said to have taken place back in 1980. The perpetrator was a grieving mother, driven insane by the drowning of her child, Jason, whom she believed was neglected by the camp counselors. As legend has it, the last survivor of the attacks beheaded the woman. But then Jason came back, and now he is a vengeful and inexorable killer, wielding crossbows, swords, axes and other sharp instruments. The legend proves horribly true, as these campers quickly discover. Six months later, the brother of one of those campers distributes posters of his missing sister. The police believe she took off with her boyfriend; but he knows better. The brother crosses paths with an uptight young rich guy who is having his girlfriend and friends over at his parents' cabin. The brother ends up at the cabin himself just before his sister's attacker sets upon them all. Written by J. Spurlin

Clay can be seen briefly in a few scenes with a fixed blade knife in a sheath on his belt. Not only does he never think to use it to defend himself against Jason, he looks franticly for other weapons in the barn right before Jason crashes threw the window behind him. Did he forget that he had the knife? See more »

pathetic
26 August 2010 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

What a wretched movie. A pointless remake of a series that should have ended years ago.

I practically fell asleep during this boring, embarrassing, badly acted snoozefest.

There are practically no positives to this shoddy reboot- although I think that those with low attention spans or diminished iq's may prefer it to the original.

Its depressing the stupidity of movies that are being released now..anything original, witty or clever underperforms while dreary old crap finds an audience .

Hated it- can't imagine how it could have been worse
