FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH . . . THE KILLER CUT (2009)

[clockworkcanary]

You know I'm going to have to review this one, especially since I reviewed the rest. One thing of interest about the new one is the plethora of references to each of the old school ones. Let's see how many we can think of off the top of our heads:

Friday 1: Jason's mom/intro/archery

Friday 2: potato sack, shot of the wheelchair, girl looking like Jason's mom/trying to psyche him out.

Friday 3: the barn and the hockey mask of course

Friday 4: glass breaking galore, brother looking for missing sister

Friday 5: it was the AMBULANCE DRIVER ALL ALONG!!! j/k - not thinking of anything for 5.

Friday 6:

Friday 7: the sleeping bag death, amped up though

Friday 8: well, there was a boat lol

Friday 9: the homoerotic shaving scene...ok j/k!

Friday 10: um....

Ok, looks like there were a lot more references to the first 4 with sprinkles from the rest.

Any that you caught?

I assumed it was mostly references to the first four since the Jason of this film is a non-zombie one, and the tone of the films is closer to the earlier films.  I'm kind of wondering if the next film will make him a zombie?  Anything else doesn't really make any sense.  But then again, the Friday films were never that logical...

One other reference: I think the ending with the lake is a reference to the end of part 1.

   This new Ft13th was kind of a let down for me... I thought it was too polished and lacked cinematic character (EG: Film noise, grit, etc.) that made the original great. Hollywood just took a film classic and polished it to the point of destroying it's original identity...
   Plus, I love tits just as much as the next joe, but it was distracting in this film. It was too formulaic: "10min tits... 15min kill scene... 20min tits... 25min kill scene..."
It seemed as though the director was hiding his inability to set up eerie location profiles and character buildup with "God's finest creation" aka "candy yams" aka "fun bags" aka "flesh pillows" aka "the baby bar" aka "hoots" aka "titties"!!!

It kinda seemed as though the director was saying; "You wanna know how stupid I think people are? I bet if I stuff this film with nipple-shots and spurts of red corn-syrup, it'll gross over $50,000,000!" (Sad part is, he was right!)

It worked for 11 other movies, why wouldn't it work now?

Sounds okay to me.  I hate it when I have to fast forward for long stretches of time to get to the good parts.

If that's all you demand from a film, then I envy you... I wish I were so easily entertained.

I disliked this movie.  Why did Jason have a cave hideout where he actually ran electrical wiring?!  Stupid.  He's a killing machine not a electrician.
