Friday the 13th franchise

Friday the 13th (2009, dir. Marcus Nispel)

Two groups of students spend weekends by a deserted summer camp; murders ensue. Clunky attempted series reboot/sidequel with perfunctory handling, and a focus on hunk/hottie/stoner soap operatics rather than story or logic. Not much good, to be honest.

Here’s the trailer.

Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning (1985, dir. Danny Steinmann)

Still traumatised by the events of Part IV, the now-adult Danny wonders if he is responsible for a new series of killings. Undistinguished mid-series entry; Part V tries some fresh ideas, but mostly settles for a high body count and gratuitous female nudity.
