It's no better or worse than most entries in the franchise, sitting firmly in the middle of the pack.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 19, 2024

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?

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 14, 2024

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. 

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Dec 7, 2023

Everything that's foreshadowed takes place, and everything that is supposed to happen inevitably does.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 28, 2020

Friday the 13th is a mediocre film.

| Original Score: 1.5/4.0 | Sep 8, 2020

Marcus Nispel's Friday the 13th retains at least some of the spirit that made the original such a classic.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 29, 2019

Unfortunately, this Michael Bay produced version suffers from horror cliché-itis of the '00s.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Oct 9, 2019

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.

| Original Score: D+ | Sep 12, 2017

I'd say they did a solid enough job of resurrecting a simple scary tale for a new generation.

| Aug 28, 2015

Worth noting: The title card of Friday The 13th doesn't show up until about 45 minutes into the film, which, all told, has to be a record.

| Original Score: C+ | Jun 22, 2013

Five nauseating 20-somethings head out to Camp Crystal Lake to guzzle Pabst Blue Ribbon and have loud tent sex, but Jason roasts one of them like a weenie and says howdy to everyone else with his trusty machete. And that's just the intro!

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Feb 15, 2013

Friday The 13th is essentially critic-proof - it's been cynically designed from the ground up as a fun but forgettable slasher flick with a one-week expiry date.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 29, 2012

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 17, 2011

...an unpleasant, downright needless re-imagining of Sean S. Cunningham’s horror landmark...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 6, 2010

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 22, 2009

Friday the 13th isn't great cinema by any means, and you probably know better than I whether you'll enjoy the movie.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 30, 2009

Useless remake

| Aug 26, 2009

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.

Full Review | Aug 7, 2009

It's a case of 'he's behind you!' repeated ad nauseum, where sudden bursts of sound stand in for real scares.

Full Review | Original Score: .5/5 | Jul 30, 2009

The first Friday the 13th is not a masterwork by any stretch of the imagination, but it has one crucial thing the 2009 edition lacks completely: the element of surprise.

| Original Score: D | Jul 2, 2009
