Tremble is a horror podcast that cuts through hype to figure out what actually works, whether a movie is trying to scare you, make you laugh, or do both at once.
On this episode, the Tremble crew heads back to Crystal Lake with Friday the 13th from 2009, the Platinum Dunes reboot that attempted to reintroduce Jason Voorhees to a new generation. Combining elements from the first four films, the remake drops viewers straight into the woods with a more aggressive, tactical version of Jason who runs, sets traps, and feels more like a hunter than a mindless force. Kurt, Taylor, and Steve break down the film’s darker tone, its slick production values, and whether the extended opening sequence is the strongest part of the entire movie. They talk about Derek Mears’ take on Jason, the balance between brutality and franchise formula, and whether this reboot deserved the sequel it never got. The discussion digs into how the 2009 film stacks up against the originals and if it stands as one of the stronger horror remakes of its era or just another product of the late 2000s reboot wave.
