Friday the 13th




2009, **, R

Starring: Jared Padalecki, Danielle Panabaker, Amanda Righetti, Travis Van Winkle, Aaron Yoo

Michael Bay produces yet another horror classic remake. Hockey masked killer Jason is back to slice and dice anyone near his seedy dwelling in the woods of once, Camp Crystal Lake.

“Friday the 13th," was out in theatres on that very date two evenings ago and hacked its way to the top of the box office—proving that everyone always wants a scare. But it’s only worth viewing if your in the mood for some ridiculous teen drinking behavior or want to see sensitive-hunky "Supernatural" star, Jared Padalecki.

Clay Miller (Jared Padalecki, WB’s “Gilmore Girls,” “House of Wax”) is on a mission to find his sister Whitney (Amanda Rightetti, “Role Models,” “Return to House on Haunted Hill”) who has been missing for a month, after going on a camping trip with a group of friends. He runs into a group of teens in a drug store in the Crystal Lake area, while passing out fliers asking anyone that crosses his path if they’ve seen his sister.

Clay befriends Jenna (Danielle Panabaker, TV’s “Shark,” “Mr. Brooks”) and they go on a trek in the woods trying to find anything that his sister may have left behind and start finding evidence that something went wrong—something terrible.

The script is awful, but you will have some good laughs and jumps and think seriously about going out in the woods anytime soon. Pitch a tent inside your home. I recommend, “Wrong Turn,” a better film in the seedy/inbred horror genre.
