Maybe there is a limit to how many times you can watch this and enjoy it at its best.
If there is, this was one time too many for me.

Month: January 2024
An idyllic summer turns into a nightmare of unspeakable terror for yet another group of naive counselors. Ignoring Camp Crystal Lake's bloody legacy, one by one they fall victim to the maniacal Jason who stalks them at every turn.
While slashers, especially of this era, are not FAMED for their character development they do actually have characters. I’m surprised many of the “kids” in this even have names. They could just as easily be credited as Stoner #1, Stoner #2, Annoying kid. I feel like the only two people we get to know anything about are the couple that own the store.
There were two stand outs for me, though:
1) The death, and body reveal, of the guy that walks on his hands is definitely in my top 10 favourite horror deaths
2) Once the final girl earns that title she is absolutely ace (though possibly I might have gone for the decapitation “just to make sure”)
★★
A rich man learns about a guru who can see without using his eyes. He sets out to master the skill in order to cheat at gambling.
I liked this a great deal. I have never watched a Wes Anderson and have no intention of watching any more.
