    Not fun, louder than it is scary, not even all that gory, this new Friday the 13th has Jason, all right, but otherwise it's missing nearly everything that made the original films work.

    USA Today Claudia Puig

    While it's billed as a "re-imagining" of the horror franchise, this Friday is more like a rehash, delivering just what you expect and nothing more.

    Variety

    As in his "Chainsaw" remake, Nispel's scare tactics amount to little more than carefully timed cattle-prod shocks, aided by high-volume speaker blasts that were beyond the budgetary reach of the early '80s films.

    Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

    About the best Friday the 13th movie you could hope for. Its technical credits are excellent. It has a lot of scary and gruesome killings. Not a whole lot of acting is required.

    The Hollywood Reporter Michael Rechtshaffen

    It's business as usual at Camp Crystal Lake, with very little in the way of fresh jolts or an innovative visual style that would have really revitalized the hokey franchise.

    There's an itch for this kind of material, and here it is scratched -- to the bone.

    However, this film is (be)head and shoulders above the recently reanimated likes of "Prom Night" and "My Bloody Valentine."

why was this movie remade?! by jragusa538
The remake is extreamly violent and should never happened. Although i am a fan of Jarred Padelacki and Daniella Panabaker, i think the parts should have gone to new-b actors. I think that the nudity was just...no words to explain how i feel about that, although some perverts might enjoy it. The make-up was very good. The language was like a High School hallway, constant use of "***&^, *****, ass, damn, ******, ***" and much much more. This movie is no way reccomended for young teens. The director is one messed up person and so is the writer. thats my opinion.
