The movie : In times like these when old and formerly successful movie-franchises either get sequels Live Free or Die Hard , remakes Texas Chainsaw Massacre or even better: reboots Halloween it was just a matter of time that somebody would take care of the cult killer Jason Voorhees and his Friday the 13th -series. Having a relatively small budget of 19 million Dollars it made 65 million Dollars at the box office just in the USA and almost 91 million Dollars worldwide. If you add the following DVD- and Blu-ray-sales you can imagine that the producing studio should be pretty pleased. This would explain why there are rumors going around about a possible sequel. The Killer Cut : Already when the remake hit the theatres the producer revealed that there was going to be a longer version additional to the theatrical version when the movie is released on DVD.
Although superior less because of its use of state-of-the-art technology than its straightforward proficiency as an entry updated but entirely authentic to the franchise, Friday the 13th managed to resuscitate Jason Voorhees because it eschewed many of the conventions of modern horror movies while managing to satisfy the demands of a contemporary audience. That said, the film nevertheless lacks some of the scruffy, low-budget charm of its predecessors, not to mention the built-in pedigree of being an actual '80s slasher flick. One suspects that the debate over its merits will only intensify with the release of the Friday the 13th Killer Cut , a Blu-ray that features both the film's minute theatrical version and a minute extended cut. In all honesty, one isn't demonstrably better than the other, but while the added footage doesn't enhance the film's impact, it does indicate the filmmakers' dedication to fulfilling as many of the hallmarks of the franchise as possible.
