History Film / FridayThe13th2009

* CoolVsAwesome: Not really, but it was largely this in a meta-sense for many fans of ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' and this franchise. Many people saw this as "Sam Winchester vs Jason Voorhees".

** Averted with [[spoiler: Bree and Trent.]] While having sex, Jason does indeed glare at them through the bedroom window, yet he doesn't interrupt them. It's only after they climax that he [[spoiler:cuts the power]] and the hunt begins. Also averted in the Kller Cut; Whitney attempts to knock on the window, but Trent and Bree's moans and the loud music drown out her cries.

The film did well upon release, with a global box office of $65,002,019 against a $19,000,000 budget. Fans especially praised new Jason Creator/DerekMears for his more sinister take on the character. However, as of 2023, a planned sequel to this film currently sits in DevelopmentHell.

* CharacterOverlap: Apparently, Trent from this movie is the same Trent [=DeMarco=] from the first ''Film/{{Transformers}}'' movie -- both movies were produced by Michael Bay and both roles are played by Travis Van Winkle. This means that Jason is a part of the massive ''Transformers'' multiverse.

Rather than a straight retelling of the original, this film takes place in the present and is more of an AdaptationDistillation of elements from first four films while retaining the basic premise of a group of teens who've decided to spend their summer vacation at a lavish house situated near Crystal Lake. It also features a Jason Voorhees who is restored to a more human level, whose improved intellegence and savvy allows him to set traps and stalk his victims instead of reaching for the nearest sharp object (though his trademark machete is ever present).

* AdaptationalIntelligence: While Jason was by no means stupid in any of the original films, the reboot shows that he's much more careful and plans ahead. He has set up various traps and searchlights across the camp, stalks his victims rather than approach them head on, and even [[spoiler:built tunnels underneath the lake]].

** The reboot gives a loose paint brush over the first 4 films or so. The events of the first movie are condensed to a single minute long opening credit sequence, and the rest of the film being a blend of somewhat similar dynamics to some characters in the other movies.

** During the ProlongedPrologue, Richie and Amanda have sex inside a tent, but are interrupted when Amanda insists someone is watching them. [[spoiler: When Richie goes to investigate, Amanda is dragged from the tent and hung over the fire in her sleeping bag to roast, while Richie is helpless to save her due to being caught in a BearTrap.]]

* HomePornMovie: Bree lures Trent into the bedroom of the cabin they're staying at, strips both of them down, rides on top of him in a perfect cowgirl position, and video tapes him for much of their intercourse. He admonishes her not to put it on the Internet.

* PoliceAreUseless: The only cop that shows up gets killed under a minute flat.

* TheStoner: Lawrence and Chewie smoke marijuina multiple times. Bree even calls Chewie the "stoned American male" in one scene while filming him as a joke.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Lawrence is about to have one when he is interrupted by Jenna and Clay.

* BuxomIsBetter: Trent can't stop talking about how perfect Bree's breasts are during their sex scene.

* AnAxeToGrind: [[spoiler:Lawrence]] gets a double-headed one planted in his back by Jason.

* DeathBySex: Exaggerated. Every character who has sex, or wants to have sex, or fantasizes about having sex, or is a creepy redneck who has sex with mannequins gets killed.

* CharacterOverlap: Apparently, Trent from this movie is the same Trent [=DeMarco=] from the first ''Film/{{Transformers}}'' movie -- both movies were produced by Michael Bay and both roles are played by Travis Van Winkle. This means that Jason (and by extension Freddy Krueger) are a part of the massive ''Transformers'' multiverse.

* IntercontinuityCrossover: Apparently, Trent from this movie is the same one from the first ''Film/{{Transformers}}'' movie -- both movies were produced by Michael Bay. This means that Jason (and by extension Freddy Krueger) are a part of the massive ''Transformers'' multiverse.

* DarkerAndEdgier: While definitely a violent SlasherMovie like it's predecessors, this film is much more brutal and violent, with the victims' deaths being far more drawn out, Jason himself being much more menacing and sadistic than in the original films, and even the lighting being much more gritty and muted. The remake also lacks the self-aware, tongue-in-cheek tone that characterised the later ''Friday the 13th'' sequels.

* AdaptationalJerkass: While not without his sympathetic motives like his classic counterpart, Jason in the reboot is comparatively more malicious than in the original films, in that he kills his victims in [[CruelAndUnusualDeath much slower and more painful ways]][[note]]such as hanging a girl trapped inside a sleeping bag over an open fire, for one[[/note]]. The original Jason, though definitely not above slow and painful deaths, generally seemed to prefer quicker methods of killing.

* DownerEnding: Everyone else (including Jenna and probably but most likely Whitney) dies except Clay and his own fate is left unknown.
