![]() Tagline: Welcome to Crystal Lake.
From Platinum Dunes and director Marcus Nispel (“The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”) comes a re-imagining of the classic horror film “Friday the 13th.”
Welcome back to Crystal Lake in a chilling re-imagining of the classic horror film “Friday the 13th.” Searching for his missing sister, Clay heads up to the eerie woods of legendary Crystal Lake where he stumbles on the creaky remains of rotting old cabins that lie in wait behind moss-covered trees.
And that's not the only thing hiding under the brush. Against the advice of police and cautions from the locals, Clay pursues what few leads he has with the help of a young woman he meets among a group of college kids up for an all-thrills weekend. But they are about to find much more than they bargained for.
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.
“What you do when you make a movie like this is ask yourself, `What is it about the mythology that makes people want to watch it over and over again?'” says director Marcus Nispel. “Then you make sure you give them what they want, but not exactly what they expect. That's what makes it fun.”
