Friday the 13th 4K UHD (2009)

[Winslow Leach]

Director Tom McLoughlin said he wanted to do a throwback film with Jason Lives, in the tradition of the classic Universal horrors. He even wanted to film it in black and white.

Which reminds me....that we're still not hearing anything about the missing or tied-up OCN for Day of the Dead 1985, and there's been no progress on licensing for a uhd for that flick either (even if it has to be a 4k scan of an IP). Apparently lost or tied up somewhere in South Africa. Tragic, that. Talk about a film that's truly begging a 4k uhd release, and has a rabid fan base to match that would utterly gobble it up.

We get Anthropophagous and Cannibal Apocalypse in uhd (and Friday the 13th 2009 4k ), but Day of the Dead (1985) and Argento's masterpiece Inferno (1980) are in limbo in Hell. Go figure.

Love this remake! Now bring on the underrated Nightmare On Elm St remake in 4k!

If people didn't get that joke then I really don't know what to tell you because the fact that there's no tits in this movie was absolutely intentional. Easily one of -- if not THE MOST -- intelligent entries in the franchise. They knew exactly what they were doing when they made that film.

And the reason it doesn't have a ton of gore is because of the MPAA, which affected ALL of the films in the franchise.

we can agree that it is a joke

[Streamingsux]

So...Arrow isn't doing a regular blu-ray of this?

[Big_Bass_Man]

I agree, Jason lives was decent..

I'm not big fan of Day. I know it has had a resurgence or whatever, but I find the bulk if to be boring. It tries to come alive during the finale, but it isn't enough to make the movie great for me.

As for there being no boobs in Jason Lives, I don't care. I did when I was 15 or 20 years old. I don't object to them bring in a movie, but they aren't needed.

Of all the entries in the franchise, why does the remake get a souped up 4K release?

Even of they released it on the 10th, most people wouldn't have received it in time for the 13th anyways. It should have been released weeks earlier. They've done the same stupid thing with Trick 'R Treat. Release date is way too close to Halloween.

I believe this is distributed by WB in the USA and licensed to Arrow. Arrow likes to include more in their releases. Studios don't believe in extras and will just release it barebones. But that is also why you are paying a premium on this release vs a studio release.

That's what I thought. Hope it's not a mistake!

To me that’s the point.

Why would anyone want to pay a premium for a 4K release of a fairly lame remake of a classic horror movie?

Truth be told, I thought it wasn’t half bad.

But I couldn’t care less about a fancy case and extra special features.

For me I actually liked the remake (I’d probably rate it as 4th or 5th best) and it’s a good intro for the newbies. I’m excited for the new commentaries. I always thought new line shortchanged the original release on features.

[jstxanothrxstory]

The remake is one of the better ones, both in terms of the mid/late 2000s remake trend, and among the Friday the 13 films. Now if Arrow was doing this for the Elm Street remake, then I'd be questioning their decisions.

[Ray Jackson]

There were some good things in it.

But not using the Fth13th theme music was a mistake.

I think there’s a few seconds of it right at the intro.

…but that’s it.
