When it comes to slasher movies, I am a big fan of Friday the 13th series. I still find it difficult to understand why people can’t comprehend that to have a good slasher you need some nudity, stupidity and lots of college/high school folks to get butchered. Friday the 13th has always had these and I must say that Kane Hodder (as Jason) in 7th, 8th and 9th part of the series was amazing. He was a stuntman by profession and that translated into his body language of being a convincing killer. Now, the latest of the series, actually a remake by Michael Bay, is being released this February and I hope Derek Mears (the new Jason) does justice to the brutality of his character that is so central to Friday the 13th. Another factor that may work in the favour of the movie is the presence of Amanda Righetti. I have been following her ascent in Hollywood since her days of making special appearances in CSI and this is definitely a role she can deliver. Amanda has this amazing on-screen presence and it would be great to see her try and fight-off Jason’s madness. Amanda would benefit from the presence of a very capable director in Marcus Nispel.
