Friday the 13th (1980) VS Friday the 13th (2009)
After countless reincarnations of the indelible Jason Voorhees, Marcus Nispel (who directed the remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) is trying to reinvent another classic horror film, Friday the 13th. The celluloid is packed to the edges with B-List teens and twentysomethings that undoubtedly jumped at the chance to be screaming fodder for the iconic serial killer. Expectations are up in the air as fans of the original ponder whether the remake will in fact follow the surprise twist that made the original such a great film. Does it matter? Are we just looking for a hockey mask and machete wielding giant that likes decapitating horny kids? Or an interesting revenge driven plot that will live up to the original?
Let us know!

What I saw in the previews was a rather large "Jason" wearing an "art-deco" kind of hockey mask and dispatching some teenagers. As fans of the original series are well aware, Jason didn't get his trademark hockey mask until Part III ! In Part II, Jason wore a cloth sack with eye-holes cut in it over his head and he was dressed EXACTLY like the killer in The Town That Dreaded Sundown . And, as everybody knows, Jason was NOT in Part I at all, except as a zombie-child who leaps out of the lake at the end in a sequence that might or might not have been nothing more than a dream.
I must admit I am curious about this "remake". Are they going to consolidate the first three (or more) films of this series into one movie? Will this movie include "Mrs. Vorhees" dispatching some kids and getting decapitated? I guess we will find out this coming Friday the 13th...
