An average movie

I wasn't expecting much from this flick but since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, it was certainly a weak reboot of this franchise and, even though it apparently had a strong opening weekend at the box-office, I'm not surprised that they scrapped their plans for any future sequel. I mean, what should you expect from a movie like this one? Still, I actually really enjoyed the very first 'Friday the 13th' and it must be my one of favorite slashers but one of the main reasons this movie worked so well was because Jason's mother was actually the killer but since Jason Voorhees has always been iconic to this franchise, they decided to focus on him instead. What bothered me even more with this movie was the fact that, even though it was not even 100 mins, it still felt so damned long which was definitely not a good sign. The fact that they butchered 2 different groups of kids didn't help either since they had to restart the story a second time around. I was also surprised by the amount of nudity which belongs to the genre but they pushed it even further with this movie but you won't hear me complaining about this aspect. Anyway, to conclude, I think I was actually rather generous with my rating here, the damned thing was seriously weak and I don't think it is really worth a look.
