Whitney (Amanda Righetti), Clay (Jared Padalecki), Mike (Nick Mennell), Jenna (Danielle Panabaker), Trent (Travis VanWinkle) and other young adults end up exploring the old Camp Crystal Lake. Soon enough however their seemingly fun weekend turns into a nightmare when each one finds themselves hunted down by a machete wielding maniac known as Jason Voorhees (Derek Mears). The difference between this remake and the original is that they are putting the plots from the first three Friday the 13th movies.
The only reason I can see the industry remaking a CLASSIC like this is because of the other horror movies they've remade (Halloween, Amittyville Horror, The Ring). The main connection is commercialism because they take sh$% they didn't have anything to do with and put their own "spin" on it just to make money. In the end when there are no more movies for people to remake only then will people understand the true power of creativity and originality. If they really want to make money sit down and watch the old movies that shook theaters of people as in The Exorcist which made people puke and run from the theater. Take a look at what makes people scared and strikes fear into them, don't just repeat scenes over and expect people to enjoy it.
