The teasers of the latest in the Friday The 13^th Series have been out for some time now and most of trailers look pretty awesome — at least for the slightly perverse and horror-obsessed movie fans like myself. This version of Friday The 13^th would be released on the13^th of this February (is that a surprise?) and promises to go beyond the story/plot that became a bit stereotyped in the original trilogy. It seems this edition of Friday The 13^thwouldn’t have any more of those naive camping counsellors.  

Instead, there is a twist to the story with a guy (Clay) searching for his sister (Whitney) in the woods. Yeah, the background is the same with Jason loping in and around Crystal Lake but we have to accept that — that is where he belongs!! Speaking of the cast, 2009’s Friday the 13^th has a leading lady who can actually act — that’s Amanda Righetti who plays Whitney. This movie is sure to pitch her as a more-than-capable big screen performer. 

This is one lady who is slowly but surely creeping up the Hollywood ladder and manages some very effective close-ups in the teasers aired so far. Amanda has definitely come a long way from her days of playing a clueless girl in O.C. and CSI (T.V. series).
