User Review

The year was 1980, the first “Friday the 13th” was released - the story of a boy who drowned in a pioneer camp due to the negligence of counselors and subsequently takes revenge on anyone and everyone who dares to step into forbidden territory. For more than a decade, audiences of all cinemas around the world have watched the unkillable, almost unsinkable and very cruel Jason Voorhees slice innocent teenagers (and not only) to pieces, if they dared to disturb Mr. Machete. 13 years later, on the day of release of the debut “series” of the franchise, in 1993, the Americans decided to please us with the next, ninth, bloody massacre. And... it was not to be.

So:

1. Central Harrow of Story. We read the synopsis to the movie: “... Jason comes back to life in the body of a black pathologist, who did an autopsy on the charred corpse of a maniac.” Well, will say the average viewer, quite possibly, decided to diversify the plot, let's look at this killer in a new body. What do we see in the end? Jason really moves from his toasted remains into the body of a medical examiner, and then does the same throughout the movie, shifting into different bodies. Of course, at times the maniac remembers what his mission is, grabs whatever he can and kills everyone around him, but it's not interesting. And there's enough blood and victims. But that's not it, dear director. I don't believe it! Where is the 2-meter tall Voorhees in his hockey helmet? Where's that monster who destroys everything in his path? No, Voorhees has become a little lump of nastiness that inhabits others and uses their bodily shells. Moreover, this “lump” reminds very much of a monster from the category of any fantastic alien stuff or mutated embryo, which are enough in Yankee-movies. Okay, the movie makers decided to experiment with the image. But, uh. overdone. Where did they put the machete? Another one of the many questions I'd like to know the answer to. Dear screenwriters, Jason without a mask and a machete is not Jason anymore, why did you remake him so much, all his individuality was destroyed at the root!

Further on the annotation: “The public offers maniac hunter Creighton Duke five hundred thousand dollars to destroy Jason. Yes, there is such a character in the ninth installment of the slasher. Maniac hunter pops up somewhere in the beginning, immediately disappears almost in English and appears again for a couple-three monologues about how to finally help Jason tu go tu hel. Expectations for the plot with the hunter were high, in reality, the use of him, well, maybe 20 percent of the expected. Of course, on the one hand, one should not underestimate the merits of Creighton, who told how to kill the most survivable of the dead. By the way, in the same storyline some hitherto unknown facts come to light: it turns out that Voorhees has a descendant, on whose shoulders the responsible task is entrusted! Finally, the world learns that the Voorhees family didn't stop at the drowned boy. Overall and in general, all of this put together feels like a lot of dreck. Even some appearance of Jason in his usual persona doesn't save the movie. As similar as the previous eight parts of the story are to each other, I'd rather watch them all again than watch the ninth one once. Huge minus for the mushy mala.

2. The quality of the movie. I understand, they spoiled Voorhees, gutted his image, invented a lot of obscure (and in my opinion, unnecessary) characters, okay, well, why play so badly? Acting for me turned out to be the most boring. I watched without a shadow of fear, yawning and feeling no emotions. And the special effects were a bit lame. Of course, 1993 is not the cool 2000s, nevertheless, it was more like a comic book.
