With Marcus Nispel’s Friday the 13th reboot due out on February 13th 2009, a trailer has now been released for all horror fans of the world to start drooling over. In 2003 Nispel directed The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, a film that I personally thoroughly enjoyed; I’m expecting more of the same with his take on Friday the 13th, and having now watched the trailer am left feeling that this could well be the best film in the series yet.
Last time we met up with Jason Voorhees he was killing teenagers on Elm Street, freeing Freddy Krueger from Hell in the process, and ultimately the two slasher icons ended up fighting in a fiercely contested battle for their lives. Just one year before that we had of course seen Jason Voorhees wreak havoc in space, and you have to go back another nine years for the last trace of Jason before then in what was supposedly The Final Friday.
So Jason’s back again, and Marcus Nispel’s Friday the 13th will be the third film in the series in the space of seven years. Here’s the trailer:
