In a secluded camp that was recently brought back to life, 6 camp counselors roam the grounds, ignoring all warning signs. These 6 people take advantage of the camp they have all to themselves and have a little fun along the way. One by one, they all get murdered by a mysterious figure, except one. The plot is as exciting as it sounds.
I wasn't impressed with this movie whatsoever as far as a scary movie goes. I did enjoy parts and it kept me engaged, but I think this film represents what everyone thinks of 80's horror movies. From today's standards, everything has gotten scarier, and that just makes Friday the 13th look like child's play. I wasn't expecting how much teenage angst that was present, I would much rather enjoy watching people get murdered than teenage angst. There were only 5 direct murders in the film and all of them kind of blew, except the one where the girl I was not emotionally invested in whatsoever got her head chopped off. Speaking of which, I did not sympathize with any character and didn't really care when they died. This really ruined the movie for me, especially how I never saw Jason's face when he was murdering them. Also, the jingle before he killed somebody was cheesy. I did enjoy the banter and attempts this movie made, but to be completely honest, I did not like this movie overall. I'm glad I watched it, since Friday the 13th is presumably a classic, and it really makes me concerned on how I wasn't allowed to watch this when I was little. It's literally not scary at all, cover up the nudity and a 5 year old could watch it entirely.
