(This review may contain spoilers).
I think this is the second time I’ve seen this particular installment of the Friday the 13th franchise. It’s not a brilliant horror film, but then, I’ve found that most slasher films are more about the violent deaths than true character development.
I recognised some of the actors in this film, though Jared Padalecki is one I really struggle to see as playing any other character than Sam Winchester; though a lot of what he said and did didn’t really help.
Although there wasn’t much in the way of character development, there was good use made of lighting and I couldn’t help feeling some sympathy towards Jason, though he was a killer.
The use of the original scene at the beginning was particularly effective, but with the characters being stereotypical, it didn’t really affect me much to watch the film and I didn’t find myself really focused on/caring about their safety. This is the kind of film that’s good to have on in the background when you’re doing something else.
