Friday the 13th e My Bloody Valentine 3D

Os filmes do Jared e do Jensen que estrearão para o ano nos cinemas, constam no top 3 dos 10 filmes de terror de 2009 mais aguardados. Eis o que é dito sobre cada um dos filmes na lista elaborada (lista completa AQUI) pelo site Shock Till You Drop.

1º Friday the 13th
"Eight years after a weak romp in space, and six years after a tussle with Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees is going solo in a reboot, not remake, of the Friday the 13th saga. Producers Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form - the triumvirate behind Platinum Dunes - called in director Marcus Nispel to set up a fresh cast (including Supernatural's Jared Padalecki) and knock 'em down.

Opens: February 13, 2009
Not a remake? Huh?: Nope, so you may as well stifle that instinctive need to scoff, "Well, he's got the mask and the mother is not the killer, so this can't be an accurate remake!" The film is an all-new story that lifts elements of the first three chapters.
Why I'm excited: Because I'm a Jason Voorhees fanatic. And, I'll take a reinvention over anything the last three installments me put through (not counting Freddy vs. Jason). Nispel's eye, decent lead actors and a Jason design I've seen up-close and approve of all have me hopeful.
Then again...: The rumored Crystal Lake "tunnel system" plot device has me concerned, we'll see how it plays out."

3º My Bloody Valentine 3D
"An unlikely choice for a remake, but a welcome one. MBV3D relocates actor Jensen Ackles from his regular gig on Supernatural to the town of Harmony where a killer, wearing a miner's outfit and carrying a pick-axe, is raising hell on Valentine's Day. Pretty cut and dry, don't ya think? Well, maybe not so "dry" as we've heard the film revels in gore. Co-stars Jaime King and Kerr Smith try and stay afloat in this bloodbath.

Opens: January 16, 2009
About this "3-D" thing: This remake comes with the bragging rights of being the first released 3-D horror film of 2009. New Line also has one waiting in the wings (see a few stops down on this list) and Dimension Films will go into production soon on Piranha 3D. However, because some theaters across the country are not yet equipped with the technology to screen new 3-D fare, it's likely a few of you out there will only be able to see the film in 2-D. Mucho bummer.
Why I'm excited: I was hooked by the marketing. Great trailer. Dynamic poster. It's got Tom Atkins (that should seal any deal). Reports out of an early festival screening say it's effective across the board and does not disappoint. And the 3-D is supposedly pretty wicked. I've always loved the original, but I'm open-minded enough to give this slasher throwback a chance.
Then again... It's directed by Patrick Lussier whose track record of directing direct-to-DVD Dimension sequels and Dracula 2000 isn't exactly rousing. Still, he's worked as Wes Craven's editor since New Nightmare. Maybe some of Craven's "slasher magic dust" rubbed off on Lussier and he'll prove to be more at ease with masked killers than a fanged Gerard Butler."
