Call me a horror-obsessed nerd if you want to but I still look forward to every remake that promises lots of gore. So, I am hoping the new version of Friday the 13th by Marcus Nispel does justice to the benchmark that was set by the original. Teasers lately have tended to tell too much about the bumpy ride that a horror flick is but then again, it is a trend and has to be followed. I saw the trailers of Friday the 13th on YouTube and I must say they do manage to engage your attention. Jason’s madness would be challenged by Amanda Righetti (who plays Whitney) as she desperately tries to leave Camp Crystal Lake’s alive. I watched the trailer repeatedly and liked the background music which wasn’t too overboard. Amanda does look impressive (and sexy too!!) and this would be a welcome change to her image of Grace Van Pelt from the ‘The Mentalist’ — not that I am complaining, Amanda does an amazing job in the CBS series, but it was time for to re-invent herself. Friday the 13th would be the first of horror movies for this year and hopefully it sets a precedent for movies of this genre that are good enough to bring people back to the movie halls, i.e. besides me, I am always there in my Halloween t-shirts.
