Lotsa Near-Carnage in the New 'Friday the 13th' Trailer
Filed under: Horror, New Line, Paramount, Remakes and Sequels, Trailers and Clips
The first teaser trailer looked promising enough, and the mildly (un)pleasant surprises continue with the brand-new full trailer for Marcus Nispel's Friday the 13th remake. Opening on February (Friday) 13th, this re-do jimmies with the original trilogy and aims to tread at least a little new ground in the story department. Instead of a bunch of clueless counselors who are preparing a camp for the upcoming summer, this new-fangled version will focus on a guy who's missing for his missing sister, only to come across a bunch of (soon-to-be-dead) partiers while searching around ol' Camp Crystal Lake.Hey, it's not like the original flick was densely plotted, ok?
So the purist in me wants to sneer derisively and the 14-year-old horror nerd in me wants to say "Woohoo, bring it on!" -- so let's just call it a draw and keep our fingers crossed for the next few months. Plus, detest me if you will, but I happen to quite like Nispel's Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake. So there. As far as the trailer goes, I think they give away a few too many of the jolts, but then again, most people won't watch this trailer four times in fifteen minutes. Like I did.

Oh God, loud noises.
I think it best to do what you say, just call it a draw. The trailer does nothing for me, especially having just watched The New Blood tonight.
