Jason is back in Friday the 13th

by Mike Browne on October 23, 2008

in film, old stuff

Jason Voorhees is back and coming to get you in this trailer for Friday the 13th. It appears that the filmmakers of this remake forgot the fact that Jason is undead and showing him as fast moving isn’t as scary. His slow, methodical and relentless pace is a huge part of what made Jason so creepy. He just kept on coming. I do realize that Jason ran in a couple of the older films, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it.

Dario Argento DVD for review

Thanks to Patrick’s diligence at pestering film distributors we are beginning to get DVD copies of movies to review on the MovieSet blog. Today we got the brand new film from Dimension Extreme by iconic Italian film director Dario Argento, whom I’ve met, called Mother of Tears starring the director’s daughter Asia Argento.

Here’s the DVD’s cover:

Mother of Tears is the third in a trilogy of supernatural horror films by Argento. The first two, Suspira and Inferno, were cult classics.

Here’s the trailer:

Judging by the high production value evidenced in the trailer alone I’m thinking this may be another great film. I’m looking forward to viewing the whole thing.

Watch our blog for my review witha  surprise. Here’s a gigantic hint: We got two copies of the DVD and one is not going to be opened by us in the office. Contest details to follow on movieset.com/blog.

Apparently Pulse 2 is also on the way. Watch for a review of that after it arrives.

Fear(s) of the Dark trailer

More and more excellent graphic novels, like Watchmen and Sin City, are being made into features films. I’m kind of excited about Fear(s) of the Dark as the film tries to stay true to the artwork of the original authors.
