Friday the 13th (2009) — Extended Cut
Friday the 13th is Marcus Nispel's 2009 reboot of the iconic slasher franchise, produced by Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes and written by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift. Rather than a straightforward remake of the 1980 original, the film functions as a reimagining that compresses elements of the first four films — including the origin of Jason Voorhees as a masked killer — into a single, propulsive narrative. Jared Padalecki plays Clay Miller, a young man searching for his missing sister near Camp Crystal Lake, where Jason (Derek Mears) has established an extensive underground tunnel system and is systematically eliminating anyone who ventures near his territory. The film grossed over $91 million worldwide on a $19 million budget and is one of the more effective entries in the Platinum Dunes horror reboot cycle. This Extended Cut restores additional footage not seen in the theatrical release. Mears' Jason is widely regarded as one of the finest portrayals of the character in the franchise's history.
Highlights
- Derek Mears as Jason Voorhees — The film's greatest asset; Mears brings a physicality, speed and genuine menace to Jason that distinguishes his portrayal from many of his predecessors. His Jason is fast, intelligent and terrifying — a hunter rather than a lumbering monster — and the performance is one of the franchise's finest.
- The tunnel system concept — Shannon and Swift's decision to give Jason an elaborate underground network beneath Crystal Lake is the film's most inventive addition to the mythology; it makes him a genuinely tactical threat and gives the film's geography a distinctive and unsettling quality.
- The opening sequence — The film's pre-title sequence, which compresses the original film's events into a tense, efficient prologue, is one of the best openings in the reboot cycle; it establishes Jason's origin, his mother's fate and his motivation with real economy and force.
- Marcus Nispel's direction — The director of the 2003 Texas Chain Saw Massacre reboot brings the same gritty, physical aesthetic to Crystal Lake; the film is efficiently staged, the kills are inventive and the woodland setting is used with genuine atmospheric skill.
- The Extended Cut additions — The restored footage expands several key sequences and adds additional character development; franchise fans will find the extended version a more complete and satisfying experience than the theatrical cut.
