Movie Reviews: "Friday the 13th"
Movie Reviews: Friday The 13th
13 February 2009 1:35 AM, PST Critics generally have their knives out for horror films. Friday the 13th is no exception. Not that anyone who buys a ticket to see those movies give a spit about what critics have to say about them. Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times begins his review by remarking: "Friday the 13th is about the best Friday the 13th movie you could hope for. Its technical credits are excellent. It has a lot of scary and gruesome killings. Not a whole lot of acting is required. If that's what you want to find out, you can stop reading." (He then goes on to gut the film, concluding with this afternote: "In my research, I discovered that the scientific name for fear of Friday the 13th is paraskavedekatriaphobia. I envision a new franchise: Paraskavedekatriaphobia: A New Beginning, Paraskavedekatriaphobia: Jason Lives, Paraskavedekatriaphobia: Freddy's Nightmare, etc.") Other critics follow suit: Claudia Puig in USA Today: "This Friday is more like a rehash, delivering just what you expect and nothing more." Lisa Kennedy in the Denver Post: "There's not a one 'I didn't see that coming' moment in this flick." -IMDB News |
