When Jason dons his hockey mask at the beginning and faces the camera


One of the best moments in the series and '80s cinema as well.

yeah...good stuff
Love F13...one of my favorite series...even if they did get a bit silly now and then

What's more fun than watching a formerly bullied , now unstoppable force of nature, disembowel with abandon a bunch of obnoxious pretty people ? I can't think of anything ...

Jason facing the camera is an inspired way of drawing a line between the earth-bound Jason of the early films and the supernatural killing machine of latter installments; it also just fucking awesome.

I don't mind the silliness that much. After all, the "Friday" franchise isn't exactly Fellini or Renoir. I wouldn't mind them cashing in on the current "Game of Thrones" craze and plopping Jason in his next outing in a medieval setting. Or how about Jason squaring off with Vikings? How gnarly would that be?

Yeah good point
Jaso b Vikings...Hmm...i like it!!
Lets hope a writer is listening

I love the Gothicism of the opening; they're channeling so shamelessly the Universal Monster Movies you half-expect the Mummy or Frankenstein's monster to wander into the frame.

And Jason doing a Molaram-impersonation-on-crack is a kill for the ages --- maybe my favorite kill in the movie.
