Friday the 13th: A New Beginning
Directed by Danny Steinmann
Homicidal maniac Jason returns from the grave to cause more bloody mayhem. Young Tommy may have escaped from Crystal Lake, but he’s still haunted by the gruesome events that happened there. When gory murders start happening at the secluded halfway house for troubled teens where he now lives, it seems like his nightmarish nemesis, Jason, is back for more sadistic slaughters. From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →(Pre-amble, I don’t think the meme should be taken seriously and I do find it funny) Horror is my favourite genre because it genuinely seeks to express the most primal and furious of all emotions: fear. From the goriest, straight-forward splatter fest to the subtlest discomforts of tense artsy horror films, the popular and cult favourite movies offer a fantastic reflection of that generation/culture’s deepest vulnerabilities. Slashers like Friday the 13th were about the internalized…

Hadn't worked in film for years before "Friday the 13th" (80) but was known for roles in "Mister Roberts" (55) with Henry Fonda & "Queen Bee" (55) with Joan Crawford. #filmsky 📽
neutral · AI labelView post →Ugh... I grew up during the 80s with absolutely no parental oversight. I was allowed to read and watch whatever I wanted. Ton of slasher and horror movies, though 3 fuuuuuucked me up. Friday the 13th - Jason, Child's Play - Chucky, and the most impactful being Nightmare on Elm Street - Freddy Krueger. At a 6 year old sleepover, the host father rented Nightmare on elm Street for a bunch of us little dudes. Half way through the movie, i got up and dressed out of my pajamas and walked…

It Follows, is a bit longer than it needs to be but a good concept for a horror movie. Jason Bourne, aka the weakest Bourne (movie).

neutral · AI labelView post →watching Halloween 4 last night, this isn't something I'd normally notice, but Michael Myers was teleporting like Jason Voorhees. I can't explain why it bothered me there when it doesn't in a Friday the 13th movie. My only theory is I must be subconsciously holding Halloween to a higher standard 🤷♀️

neutral · AI labelView post →#letterboxd #lastfourwatched I will never not go to bat for a Friday the 13th movie as they were my gateway drug into dumb slasher horror. John Carpenter still reigns supreme and it's not really Halloween Week without some Corman-Price flicks either, damn it. Happy last week of Halloween!

neutral · AI labelView post →The 6th Friday The 13th film Jason Lives,is probably one of my most favorites from the movies because bringing Jason Voorhees back as a supernatural zombie made him more stronger,more menacing than ever. That played a part in the other installments moving forward even when New Line took over.
positive · AI labelView post →I finished watching Crystal Lake. It's an excellent prequel to the Friday the 13th movie series that fleshes so many things out and adds in new characters. The story leading to the first movie is a lot more coherent instead of a simple revenge plot. Linda Cardellini plays a TERRIFIC Pamela Voorhees!

neutral · AI labelView post →When SCREAM came out, HALLOWEEN was 18 years old. FRIDAY the 13th was 16. The 2026 equivalent would be a film that satirizes, deconstructs, but also *is* a type of film we started getting too many of around 2010. In other words: The time is ripe for a SCREAM-like take on superhero movies.

Can't pretend it was a revelation but the kills were better and there is a LOT of nudity which adds a thick slathering of sleaze. I don't mind the twist. Brought down by bad lead and too many comedy characters.

neutral · AI labelView post →Okay, I”m now rewatching the original Friday the 13th and it really is a case of a film that is so classic and central to two decades of slasher films after that that it feels so… cliched. Like, it *is* the horror zeitgeist of the 80s. (It’s also not great)
