=Jason X=

Jason X is a 2001 American science fiction slasher film directed by Jim Isaac, written by Todd Farmer, and starring Lexa Doig, Lisa Ryder, Chuck Campbell, and Kane Hodder in his fourth and final cinematic appearance as Jason Voorhees. It is the tenth installment in the Friday the 13th franchise, the first one since 1993's Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday. In the film, Jason is cryogenically frozen for 445 years and awakens in 2455, after being found by a group of students, whom he subsequently stalks and kills one by one.

Why Evil Has Never Got a Upgrade

 * 1) Bland and still mediocre acting from everyone except Kane Hodder.
 * 2) The design of Über Jason's mask looks Like Casey Jones' hockey mask mixed with the Terror Mask From Splatterhouse 3 mixed with the 2010 remake of Splatterhouse games Terror Mask.
 * 3) Lots of plot holes.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Some of the kills are great such as the face slam kill.

Plot
Against the advice of locals and police, Clay (Jared Padalecki) scours the eerie woods surrounding Crystal Lake for his missing sister. But the rotting cabins of an abandoned summer camp are not the only things he finds. Hockey-masked killer Jason Voorhees lies in wait for a chance to use his razor-sharp machete on Clay and the group of college students who have come to the forest to party.

Bad Qualites

 * 1) The whole thing about Jason holding someone captive can be a turn-off for some fans.
 * 2) The sex and nude scenes can be pretty gratuitous and can be mistaken as scenes from a porno.

Good Qualities

 * 1) The comic relief of Aaron Yoo's performance as the marijuana-smoking Chewie is the best selling point to this movie.

Reception
Friday the 13th received generally negative reviews from critics, who felt that it did not add anything new to the franchise. Based on 175 reviews collected by review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, Friday the 13th has a 26% approval rating from critics with an average score of 4.30/10. The consensus reads: "Though technically well-constructed, Friday the 13th is a series rehash that features little to distinguish it from its predecessors.". Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, calculated an average score of 34 based on 29 reviews. CinemaScore polls reported that average grade cinemagoers gave the film a "B-" on a scale of A+ to F. Exit polls showed that 51% of the audience was male and 59% were at least 25 years old.

While the film received negative reviews, it received somewhat mixed-to-positive reviews from the audience. Through some fans claiming it was a great remake of the original film, others felt it was dismissed as a disappointing remake.

Strangely, DeviantArt user JacobHessReview gave this movie a rating of 7/10 (Good), the question that he may be in a minority, but this is one of the better horror remakes/reboots.

Trivia

 * Unlike both horror remakes, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Amityville Horror (which were also produced by Bay, Form, and Fuller), it was decided that Friday the 13th would not be a period piece. Form and Fuller said the film was not strictly a remake so there was no reason they could not set the story in the 2000s. In October 2007, Damian Shannon and Mark Swift, the writers of Freddy vs. Jason, were hired to write a script for Friday the 13th. Jonathan Liebesman was in negotiations to direct the film, but scheduling conflicts meant he was unavailable and Fuller and Form chose Marcus Nispel. Nispel was apprehensive about taking the job, mainly because he would be taking over another film franchise, but Fuller eventually persuaded him to direct the project.
 * Form and Fuller recognized the iconic status of the music used in the first four Friday the 13th films. For their 2009 film, they immediately had the studio attain the licensing rights to the music, which was composed and originally performed by Harry Manfredini. They did not plan to use the score in its entirety, but they used Steve Jablonsky to compose a score that was reminiscent of Manfredini's and created the atmosphere for the 2009 film.
