 Burbank,
CA, April 28, 2009 – Get ready to re-live the horror when
Friday the 13th arrives on Blu-ray and DVD on June 16th
from Warner Home Video in the extended Killer Cut with
even more suspense, wild times, and more of the infamous killer Jason
Voorhees. From the producers of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,
comes a chilling reimagining of the classic horror film.
Searching for his missing sister, Clay Miller
heads to the eerie woods of legendary Crystal Lake, where he stumbles on
the creaky remains of rotting old cabins behind moss-covered trees. And
that's not all. Against the advice from locals, Clay pursues what few
leads he has with the help of Jenna and a group of college kids who are
up for a getaway weekend. But little do they know, they've entered the
domain of one of the most terrifying specters in American film
history--the infamous killer who haunts Crystal Lake, armed with a
razor-sharp machete...Jason Voorhees.
From Director, Marcus Nispel (The Texas
Chainsaw Massacre) Friday the 13th stars Jared
Padalecki (TV’s Gilmore Girls, TV’s Supernatural),
Danielle Panabaker (TV’s Shark, Sky High), Amanda Righetti (Role
Models, TV’s The O.C.), Willa Ford (TV’s Dancing with the
Stars) and Derek Mears as Jason.
Friday the 13th - Killer Cut will be
available on Blu-ray for $35.99 and on single disc DVD for $28.98.

Let
me first start this review by saying that I was never a big fan of the
Friday the 13th. To me, it was just another one of those slasher
movies that were produced about that time. The was no real depth
to the plot or the characters, and it just did not scare me as it had
done to many other theater goers at that time. Back in 1980 I was
more into the sci-fi movie genre and this was just not it for me.
