What to Know

Critics Consensus

Though technically well-constructed, Friday the 13th is a series rehash that features little to distinguish it from its predecessors.

Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online If you're a die hard Jason fan like myself, check out the movie with popcorn and a group of friends. If not, sit this one out. Rated: D+ Sep 12, 2017 Full Review Joshua Rothkopf Time Out Rated: 2/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Anton Bitel Little White Lies Unfortunately, no matter how clever-clever the all-new screenplay might (occasionally) be at acknowledging the faults of the original, this does not make them magically go away. Aug 7, 2009 Full Review Trace Thurman Horror Queers Podcast It's no better or worse than most entries in the franchise, sitting firmly in the middle of the pack. Rated: 3/5 Feb 19, 2024 Full Review Joe Lipsett Horror Queers Podcast The film peaks with its extended 'four movies in one' opening, but there's a silliness that carries the rest of the film. One wishes the kills were more memorable and the characters less stock, but...it's a Friday the 13th film. What do you expect? Rated: 3/5 Feb 14, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review This is the same humdrum story about a killer hacking away at anyone and everyone around Camp Crystal Lake, with a few minor modifications. It’s painfully dull.  Rated: 0.5/4 Dec 7, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Gregory H I really enjoyed the 2009 remake! The concept was good, just good ol Jason Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/06/23 Full Review Patrick S Basic slasher, mindless entertainment don't go into the movie looking for a horror masterpiece. Solid kills forgettable characters and story. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/22/25 Full Review Jev M Anyone who rated this lower than a 4 starts is on cr@ck. Sorry, not sorry. You are legit crazy. This movie rules. I get some of the characters are annoying but it makes it all that more satisfying when Jason takes them out. Movie rules. The arrow through the head on the boat leading to the dock machete through the head kill was such an awesome sequence. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/16/25 Full Review John R Probably the best horror remake next to Texas chainsaw massacre, my bloody valentine, and Halloween Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/14/25 Full Review Ke P A lot of things I feel Jason would’ve never done he has done in this movie. My lease favorite Jason movie, the beginning had the best scenes. I still watch it here and there because I’m a huge Jason fan. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review Joaquim H Grande filme, já assisti Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/22/25 Full Review Read all reviews
