I wouldn't be a horror site if I didn't cover the big news of the day, right? So here's my obligatory post of the Friday the 13th remake, slated to be released on February 13th, 2009.Yahoo Movies got the jump yesterday and has the full trailer online. Check it out by going here.
The new poster is also up as you can see above.
I totally dig the new Jason Voorhees. He does look menacing and from the trailer seems a wee bit smarter than your average slasher redneck. It may just be me, but pre-zombied Jason is the best (Part III to me is the best of em all).
I'd rank em as Voorhees, Myers, Kreuger.
The trailer is flashy, but very spoiler ridden. Did we really need 13 "almost" kills? Fuck you for doing that. As long as Jason's screen time is limited (I know thats blasphemous to say) this would probably work better as the early movies made it a point to show only 10-15 minutes of Jason.
And of course we need to follow our basic F13th model work flow. It should be as follows:
1.) A final girl
2.) Jason Voorhees
3.) Gratuitous Nudity
4.) Kill quality
2 totally awesome kills ("Oh that was fuckin awesome")
4-5 decent kills ("Wow, that must have hurt")
2 he was killed offscreen kills ("That's where that blowtorch ended up")
3 machete kills ("Jason totally went all Kill Bill with his machete")
5.) Spooky music
6.) Stereotypical cardboard cutouts of teenagers
7.) The local who warns the teens of impending danger
8.) Jason unmasked
9.) Jason gets killed by final girl
10.) A total WTF ending
That's all I'm asking for. Thoughts about the trailer? the remake?
Now back to your regular scheduled program.
