In this episode of Mart and Trev’s The Deja Review, we head back to the woods to compare the original slasher classic Friday the 13th with the modern reboot Friday the 13th.

The 1980 film introduced audiences to one of horror’s most iconic franchises, launching the legend of Camp Crystal Lake and the terrifying story that would eventually give rise to the unstoppable killer Jason Voorhees. Nearly thirty years later, the 2009 remake brought the series back with a faster pace, more brutal kills, and a modern horror style.

Mart and Trev break down the origins of the franchise, the classic slasher formula, the scares, the kills, and the evolution of Jason, asking whether the remake captures the spirit of the original or simply sharpens the machete.

Does the 1980 classic still rule Camp Crystal Lake…

or does the 2009 remake deliver the ultimate slasher upgrade?

Whatever you do… don’t go into the woods.
