'Friday the 13th' web reviews

Jason Voorhees returns to the big screen in Marcus Nispel's remake "Friday the 13th," hunting down and killing everyone he come across. Let's take a brief look at what some online critics have to say about his resurrection:

• Kevin Carr at FilmSchoolRejects: "'Friday the 13th' delivers in all the departments for a slasher film. It has plenty of violence with unique kills. It has quite a few scary scenes."

• JimmyO at Joblo: "While the latest installment feels more like a really dark and vicious sequel, it is still a welcome return for America‘s favorite hockey masked donning slasher killer."

• Matt Goldberg at Collider: "Where 'Friday the 13th' really thrives are the jump scares and I'm disappointed that some of them are spoiled in the trailer."

• Brad Brevet at RopeOfSilicon: "'Friday the 13th' is still a fun film with some fun kills and a fantastic first act, but it just doesn't have enough steam to carry it out all the way to the end."

Cinematical's Peter Martin: "Better acting might have helped the film escape the clutches of a third act letdown, which includes several groan-inducing moments, but who am I kidding?"

f• Ron Henriques at LatinoReview: "All kidding aside, this 'Friday the 13th' is juvenile filmmaking, but can be quite fun when viewed with friends in the mood for silly horror or screaming girls with bare boobs."
