We saw this last night and completely LIKED it. Very good remake that was neither cheesy or dumb. Very well done, well shot, and good effect. It has an R rating so the killing is graphic, there is excellent sex scenes, a good amount of humor mixed in and they don't have to hold back with the scary stuff. ALSO, the sound track and sound effects are VERY well done. The "scary" stuff is enhanced by the sound effects that are perfectly placed and executed.
This is similar to the recent first remake of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, where they did a good job reinventing the film in modern times. The same people produced this movie and did an equally excellent job.
I liked how they introduced the hockey mask into the story, but I won't tell you so you can see it at the theaters.
Here is the description from IMDB -
Derek Mears plays Jason and he is good in the roll, even though you never see his face. He was also one of the scary guys in The Hills Have Eyes

The news stories I am reading are saying that this movie will break all records for opening weekend box office for R rated horror movies. the theater I was in was totally sold out and I head that every single show for this movie was also sold out all day long.

Here is the description from IMDB -
Quote:Young friends Whitney (Amanda Righetti), Mike (Nick Mennell), Richie (Ben Feldman), Amanda (America Olivio), and Wade (Jonathan Sadowski) end up missing in the woods near the abandoned Camp Crystal Lake (made famous by the original 1980 film), after allowing their curiosity to get the better of them and visiting the site where a psychopathic killer resides. Six weeks later, Trent (Travis Van Winkle) invites friends Jenna (Danielle Panabaker), Bree (Julianna Guill), Chewie (Aaron Yoo), Chelsea (Willa Ford), Lawrence (Arlen Escarpta), and Nolan (Ryan Hansen) to his father's cabin on Crystal Lake for a weekend of sex, booze, pot smoking, and water skiing. However their seemingly fun weekend soon escalates into a nightmare after lone traveler Clay (Jared Padalecki) shows up looking for his missing sister Whitney. The police have searched with no luck, and Clay is now searching alone. Local citizens have advised Clay not to go into those woods, because anyone who shows up missing is already dead, and he is wasting his time. During his search, one of the students, Jenna, decides to help Clay find his sister, and they go into the woods. They find the abandoned Camp Crystal Lake and search the dilapidated camp house for any signs of his sister. They soon find themselves face to hockey-mask with evil reborn, reimagined, and rebooted, and his name is Jason Vorhees (Derek Mears)I WOULD recommend this for any one who likes scary movies, even if you know exactly what is going to happen, lol. I was in a completely sold out theater and people were screaming and laughing the entire time.
