Story: Jason gets cryogenically frozen because nobody can kill him (dismemberment wasn’t an option I guess?) Centuries later, “scientists” find him. He thaws out, and hilarity ensues. Nothing’s gonna slow our boy down.
Scares: Not a one, unless you’ve got a really, really, really low tolerance. This is like watching someone playing a video game; see the killer, watch him pick everyone off.
Splat factor: Jason and…anything alive? Yeah, you’ll get splatter.
Closing scene “shocker”?: Not really. Because anyone who has ever seen a Friday the 13th film knows there’ll be some sorta “hey, guess what?” moment at the end. Meh.
Remake, Sequel or OG (Original Ghoul)?: It’s #10 in the Friday the 13th franchise. And it feels like it. Shark? Consider yourself jumped.
Trick or Treat?: It’s a treat for folks who like that sort of stuff, like black licorice. (Hey, that stuff is delicious. No, you stop it.) It’s a Kane Hodder Jason, so it’s not a total loss, and David Cronenberg makes a cameo at the start of the film as a douchebag doc. With the space-ness, there’s fun nanotech FX along with the usual splatty goodness. Still, it’s not the smartest film of the series, and that’s saying a lot. It’s a sad commentary on the world when silly white boys still rock the dreads in the 25th century. Oh come ON. nanotech can fix Jason, but not the other dead? I call bullshit. But then you pretty much know that going into these movies. If you love Jason, you know what you’re gonna get.
