Hey all! It's Valentine's Day eve and I just got home from watching Friday the 13th. I for one am not a fan of scary movies, but in the name of research I decided to put my big girl panties on and watch it. From my standpoint, I did not see what the big deal was about this movie. Yeah, it is scary... kind of.
There is not much that is truly scary about it. It is more of a make you jump movie. The plot line is obvious, if you have seen any kind of scary movie. It is apparent that the person who walks alone in the woods or follows the scary noise is going to be the next to get wacked by Jason's machete. Not to mention there have been 11 other Friday the 13th's, and Jason is somehow indestructible, not even a stab to the heart and a wood chipper will take this beast down. There is one twist in the movie that viewers will not expect... but I will leave it to you to decide what that is, no spoiled endings here!
Overall, the movie is decent. If you have nothing else to do, like being kind of scared, and have $10.00 to throw away then my recommendation is see it. Don't take my word for it. I'm just giving my opinion, everyone has one and you may disagree.
Thank you so much for this "preview". I am skeptic about seeing scary movies these days because they are such a let down. My boyfriend wants to see it but I'm partial....I will go just to go, though.
ReplyDeleteI too saw Taken this week and was BLOWN AWAY! That movie was by far, one of the best I have seen in a while. His emotions towards his daughter are so realistic and his skills very AWESOME!
It's pretty cool to see a Super "Bad A**" Retiree in ACTION!
Yikes, I haaaate scary movies.. However, my film professor has it in his head that I love them so I play along... that can be awkward.
ReplyDeleteScary movies on Valentine's Day...I like that!
Swashi and Meg,
ReplyDeleteThank you for responding to my posts! I love that what I am writing can help you to either choose to see a movie or not. I am like you both in that I HATE scary movies!! I have to check every inch of the house after I see one just to make sure there is nobody lurking behind the shower curtain!! Taken was an AMAZING movie. I can handle that sort of scary. The producers and writers portrayed a very real and scary story and brought it to light in a very tasteful way.
Happy Movie Watching!!!
