Friday The 13th (2009): Killer Cut DVD© New Line
This remake of the slasher classic finds a young man looking for his sister, who vanished near Crystal Lake, stomping ground of the undead serial killer Jason Vorhees. What he finds is trouble with a capital "T," and that rhymes with "D," and that stands for decapitation.

The "final" Friday the 13th was actually less than the halfway point in the franchise. Jason leaves Camp Crystal Lake to attack a bunch of kids partying at a nearby house. Corey Feldman comes to the rescue.
