I'll preface this by saying I haven't seen the original, but as a fan of eighties horror movies in general, this movie certainly does them justice with the gore. The 3D is amazing as well; it's truly 3D and they shot a lot of things to directly mess with the audience, which is great. I've seen this movie twice now and still find it enjoyable. Really quality slasher movie that only drags in a couple of places because of dialogue. Jensen Ackles and Kerr Smith do great jobs with their characters.
With inventive deaths and great suspense-building scenes, this movie delivers the scary and restores Jason to his proper place as a menacing villain. There's also some great humorous dialogue, and some references to previous movies. My audience really got into the action. Overall, a great time.
