By 2009, there was a re-make of Sean S. Cunningham's "Friday the 13th", (1980). Directed by Marcus Nispel, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", (2003), and produced by Cunningham and action producer Michael Bay, the beginning of the movie is a reversal of the original horror classic. This time, Mrs. Pamela Voorhees, (Nana Visitor), chases Alice through the woods, ending in her death. Then her son, Jason, (Derek Mears), dons the famous hockey mask, and puts it on his face. The film then is cuts into two parts: the first section is about Clay Miller, (Jared Padalecki), from television's cult horror series 'Supernatural', who is looking for his abducted sister, Willa Miller, (Amanda Righetti); as a new group of teenagers head to a house of Trent, (Travis Van Winkle), who is the son of rich parents, as they stay for the weekend to indulge in making out, do drugs, and partying, near the haunted Camp Crystal Lake. Other teenagers are killed off in the campgrounds, as the second section begins.

Travis is with Jenna, (Danielle Panabaker), who meets Clay at the Gas Station earlier on as they buy alcohol. The other teenagers are: Chewie, (Aaron Yoo), an Asian-American friend of Trent's; Wade, (Jonathan Sadowski); Bree, (Juliana Guill); Richie, (Ben Feldman), and other actors. Like the previous movies, the old adage of have sex=death is on display in "Friday the 13th". Jason Voorhees also has time to kill a man in town, as well as stalking everyone in the campgrounds. Daniel Pearl, who was the cinematographer on the movie, works his magic. After a fight with Trent, Jenna and Clay uncover a shack in which housed Jason when he was a child. Jason Voorhees attacks them, and the last twenty minutes ends in they rescuing Clay's sister. The movie remains a cult horror classic, and didn't spawn more movies in the series.
