What Parents Need to Know
About Friday the 13th (2009)
Parents need to know that this slasher remake is a never-ending series of bloody, brutal, violent murders perpetrated by a mutilated sociopath. There are several explicit sex scenes, as well as scenes that mingle sexuality and violence -- like when a topless woman is knifed through the head with a machete. And as if all that weren't enough, characters swear nonstop, drink, and discuss and use drugs (particularly marijuana). The fact that all the pot-smoking characters wind up dead shouldn't be considered incisive social commentary, since those who don't partake wind up dead, too.

- What draws us to scary, violent movies? What's the impact of seeing so many violent acts?

Not very scary
This movie, which you may not beleive, actually wasn't that scary. I saw this movie at 9:00 and I wasn't even scared when I went to bed. I recommend this movie for ages 11+ depending on how much you can take. I recommend this movie if you have liked the previous movies.

Typical slasher movie...
Typical slasher movie with a high amount of gore and sexualtiy. Profanity is also moderatly heavy and teens are constantly drinking and smoking. also references to marijuana growing and selling. Pretty bad :(

13 and up if interested
If you will read the thing above about Jason being a "psychopath", that is actually a lie. He his a severely mentally-retarded kid who everyone made fun of in high school but they went too far and killed him. So his mother is and great grief and she uses some sort of spell that will bring her "now 40-year-old son" take revenge on anyone who dares lay a hand on the camp or deathplace of him. Excellent movie, some mild sex scenes,and a little bit of profanity. There is some what of a lot of violence if you get the unrated version but nothing that would be a "SAW 4", certainly any 13-year old boy would develop good companion skills and enjoy this. I know you would not want yourself too think a lonesome retarded guy is inappropriate for your kids.

If you like horror movies check it out
If you like horror movies definately watch this. Its so much beter than the horrible remake of my bloody valentine. And unlike many of the newer horror movies this one is decently scary. Pretty explicit though...

i don't know what to say for my title
I loved it all the way through, even though my age isn't good enough for the material that's put into this movie including 2 sex scenes, the first was short, but the last was longer, and very strong killing scenes that jason had to do to mostly during the movie, Strong PERVASIVE language (it's pretty obvious that this movie wouldn't be made without the F bomb and other crap). i just wouldn't dare let kids 14 and younger see this movie, they'll get to many ideas that wouldn't be good.

Friday the 13th
Didn't care to much for the theatrical version, but I loved the Killer cut extended edition. 99.9% of the crap on television is more disturbing than this picture. ALL KIDS SHOULD GO AND RENT THE "KILLER CUT" on Blue-ray. It's the parents of todays generation keeping them in a bubble and spoiling them. Not letting them grow up and experience life for themselves, not allowing them to fail. "Everyone has to pass and succeed" It's this very attitude that has weakened this country as a whole! The Friday the 13th franchise has done more for the religious right in this country than "Jesus" ever has. Yet, Moms of america keep protesting these films or tell other people not to see them. It's "morally wrong","drug use","sex","bad language" and there were no "good role models". Well, I was under the impression that the parents were supposed to be the role models. Not Movies, pop stars, actors, sports figures, or "The Bible"! Parents in this country need to wake up to the real world we actually are living in today! More actual real blood has been spilt over the Bible, Qu-ran, and the Torah than there's ever been in a Friday film! These movies teach kids and teens alike to survive no matter what the cost! To believe in yourself, never give up, and fight back until you can't fight anymore! To look death in the face and not be afraid! That's all we are in this country anymore, "is afraid". We as a people are scared to death in the age of terrorism! Personally, I started watching horror films when I was 4 years old. I turned out fine, and I have succeeded in almost every task I've set my mind to. College graduate, 4 years active duty Marine, honorably discharged, and now I am a public servant. It was because of my father allowing me to see films like these that made me realize at a very young age, that unless your rich "life is hard and painful". Most of it is an uphill climb that you can never back down from, especially from a guy in a hockey mask!
