Jason Voorhees. The butcher of Camp Crystal Lake needs no introduction. Or does he? Perhaps to a new generation of audiences, who were unaware of the source material that is the original Friday the 13th movies. Of course, now Jason is seemingly everywhere, what with the video game developed by IllFonic, and published by Gun Media. And he's been everywhere before too. This is the 12th film in the Jason oeuvre, if you include Freddy VS Jason (which we do). And this is as different as our mute machete mate has ever been. Director Marcus Nispel took artistic license with the source material, making Jason Voorhees a kidnapper who was fleet-of-foot. And who actually has an underground lair, and quite an elaborate Xanadu too. At the end of the day though, this is not a well-made movie. There are two spectacular kills, and a lot of killer filler. And the stupidity ante of these campers is OFF THE CHARTS. So, how does Derek Mears acquit himself as the Masked Maniac? Pretty darn well. It's the rest of the film that kinda blows. We'll get into that on this week's edition of the Really Awful Movies Podcast, Friday the 13th.
