Okay, so this film was perfectly alright for a horror flick. The plot was simple, the audience got to see people drinking, smoking pot and having sex and then people got killed - basically the expected premise for a horror film. Now, the question is why on earth did that killer have to be Jason? I mean, plotwise nothing made sense.
Also, I can not for the life of me remember Jason ever being that sadistic, and never a planner. Some of those were thought-out torture. I remember it as chop-chop you're dead, not let's play for a bit before you die. Still, with an audience which has become immune thanks to the likes of Saw and Hostel, none of the scenes were particularly striking. At least the bed-scene in Freddy vs. Jason was cringe-worthy...
And what the hell was up with the running? I remember Jason striding after his victims while they ran their little hearts out and yet he would be there when they stopped to hide by that big tree. Where did this rushed chasing come from? Really, it was making me a little motion-sick.
On another note, WTF was up with the Whitney sub-plot? Can we all say random? Also random was Jason standing on a roof ... I may have giggled.
Basically, if it ain't a remake and it ain't a sequel, what the fuck's the point of it? Now I'm afraid to see what they're doing with the Nightmare "remake". Please don't let Michael Bay produce that one.
At least Aaron Yoo and Arlen Escarpeta were funny to watch and I loled at the fact that Ryan Hansen was in this (aka Dick from Veronica Mars).
