It remains to be seen whether or not the Friday the 13th franchise will find new footing with this reboot.
Horror reboots films have seen mixed success when it comes to delving into the history of an iconic villain (Michael Myers comes to mind), so we will have to wait and see whether or not shining new light onto the backstory of this horror legend will help the film in any significant fashion.
Among other things, this will involve bringing Jason Voorhees’ long-absent father into the equation.
We still don’t know much about the overarching plot of the film, but one of the most talked about aspects of the reboot is the fact that it will delve far deeper into the history of the Voorhees family than ever before.
