Why it’s HorroRated
The 2009 Friday reboot does the work it was designed to do. Nispel treats the mythology with enough respect to produce something that functions as both an origin story and a standalone slasher. Jason is more tactical here than in most franchise entries and that tactical quality keeps things interesting. A competent, unfussy reboot.
Synopsis
Marcus Nispel returns to franchise horror after Texas Chainsaw for a Friday reboot combining elements of the first four films into a single origin story. Jason is more tactical here than in any previous entry and the film takes the mythology seriously enough to work as a standalone piece. A competent, unfussy reboot that delivers the genre requirements efficiently.
