The Friday The 13th franchise is more convoluted than an Escher painting (if MC had drawn machetes instead of stairs) and twice as baffling to follow, if normal rules of narrative are applied to it.

So, well done producer Michael Bay, who’s firmly yanked the ‘Reboot’ lever to dial down the absurdity and (re)kick-start the splattersome tale of loony thrill-killer Jason Voorhees (Derek Mears).
