To be very honest, it was Evil Dead and the original Friday the 13th which got me hooked as a horror-loving moviegoer. The sequels to both these movies weren’t as good as the original. As far as Friday the 13th is concerned, there have been an unbelievable number of very mediocre and sometimes entirely senseless so-called ‘sequels’. So, it was nice to see the teasers of the latest Friday the 13th. Jason does manage to look brutal carrying his sadistic machete with that improvised hockey mask on his face, hunting for his next prey. Some of the video promos are a bit reminiscent of the earlier Friday the 13th remakes with the seemingly dim-witted college campers being chased around but that is something you have to bear. The star cast though has some major appeal to it in the form of Amanda Righetti. She may not be in the A-grade of Hollywood’s performers right now, but her guest appearances on The O.C. and Entourage are ample proof of her acting abilities. Amanda’s latest offing on TV, The Mentalist, has seen her reputation grow tremendously in 2008 that should augur well for the movie also. Amanda joins Jared Padaelecki (who plays her brother) and Derek Mears (as Jason).
