In the realm of remakes, the Friday the 13th remake from 2009 is among the best of the bunch. It’s been 15 long years since we’ve had Jason Voorhees on our screens, and while it looks like it’ll still be a bit longer, Arrow Video is bringing out the remake on 4K UHD. It arrives this September 17th, 2024 and is available for pre-order right now.
Here’s what Arrow had to say about the upcoming release.
“In 2003, director Marcus Nispel made a lasting impression on horror fans with his box-office-topping remake The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Six years later, he turned his camera to another slasher icon, none other than the hulking masked killer Jason Voorhees, in his gore-soaked remake of Friday the 13th.
Nispel’s taut direction and the stunning cinematography by Daniel Pearl – whose credits include the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre as well as the remake – bring a fresh and terrifying new perspective to the infamous hockey masked maniac, sure to bring chills and thrills to even hardened horror veterans.”
