You would think that a movie in planning for 10+ years would be tremendously better than this film is, but no. New Line went and put another nail in the horror genre's coffin (no pun intended). This film not only bastardizes both series, but horror in general. The director, Ronny Yu, apparently has no concept of "directing" and seemingly has no knowledge of these two franchises. The story goes from completely unoriginal to absolutely hokey. Acting is the worst in any film I have ever seen, non-professional included. One scene that is truly appalling is when Jason goes on an ultra-psycho rampage (more than usual) and begins slaughtering unobtrusive teenagers right and left. I know this is a horror film, but it is totally disturbing and there is no reason for it. I suppose the producer's felt the only way to save the film was to pour onto the audience a never-ending flood of blood and gore. And boy does it keep coming and coming and coming. After it's all said and done this film is the worst of the worst to be released in a long, long time; and if you must see this film, like I did, by all means go to a matinee.
