Here’s an exciting and somewhat unexpected week of releases on DVD–a week of FRIDAY THE 13TH!!! That’s right, along with the crappy 2009 version, we have THE FINAL CHAPTER and JASON LIVES out in their very own DELUXE EDITIONS! THE NEW BEGINNING is also being released, but since I f*cking hate that movie, I’m not mentioning it here. So there. Chi-chi-chi-cha-cha-cha on DVD, yo!

FRIDAY THE 13TH (2009)

Rated: Not Rated

Starring Derek Mears, Jared Padalecki, Arlen Escarpeta, Danielle Panabaker
Directed by Marcus Nispel
Run Time: 97 Min.

Jumping ahead six weeks, the film introduces a carload of clueless teens headed for a weekend at a lakeside cabin, plus a lone motorcyclist (Jared Padalecki) in search of his missing sister (Amanda Righetti). When the “lakeside” happens to refer to Crystal Lake, of course, there can be only one outcome. Cue the hockey mask, and pass the machete. Bay and director Marcus Nispel, who collaborated on the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, are surprisingly indifferent to changing up the formula this time, although there’s more care taken in building up a few characters, and for once the comic relief (mostly supplied by Aaron Yoo and Arlen Escarpeta) is pretty funny.

FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VI: JASON LIVES (DELUXE EDITION)

Rated: R

Directed by Tom McLoughlin
Run Time: 87 minutes

Jason (Graham) comes back as a zombie and heads back home to Crystal Lake, killing dumb characters on the way. When he finally gets there, he realizes that they changed the name of the grounds to Forest Green and that a group of kids have taken residency on his turf. A peeved Jason dusts off the machete and cleans house, Voorhees style.
