Happy Friday the 13th to Me!


Friday the 13th is a terrifying day for me, mainly because I'm a very superstitious person.  I'll tell you it has nothing to do with Jason Voorhees, and this movie didn't make me any more scared than I was before walking into it.  I'm not dissing this movie's scare factor... I'm just saying I wasn't scared, then again my The Exorcist didn't scare me so it depends on your scare-ability how scary you'll find it.  I'm going to confess something to you... I hate when all the scares in the movie are exactly the same.  Jason jumping out at you, again and again and again and again and you get the point... that's all this movie is.  This movie has less blood and is better looking than the original but the killer has no motive!  Why is he doing this?  The funny thing is that in both movies there is one scene that surpasses all the other scenes put together.  I would actually say there were two amazing scenes in the original, the Kevin Bacon scene and the final showdown.  In the new one the amazing scene involves a boat and a bow and arrow, the opening scene is also pretty solid.  In all the entire movie summed up to a mildly satisfying night at the movies.
