Friday the 13th (2009) gets a 4K release with new bonus features

This year marks the 15th anniversary of the release of the 2009 version of Friday the 13th, which remains the most recent Friday the 13th movie. Yes, it has been 15 years since we’ve gotten a new entry in this franchise, and that’s shameful. But at least Arrow Video is going to be celebrating the 15th anniversary of Friday the 13th (2009) by giving it a 4K release on September 17th – and the 4K disc will include new bonus features! Copies are available for pre-order at THIS LINK.

The 4K release has the following description: 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.

A group of oblivious teenagers choose Camp Crystal Lake as the destination for a weekend getaway. Among them, the young Clay Miller (Jared Padalecki, Supernatural) is not looking for fun and frolics, but for his sister Whitney who disappeared around the lake six weeks earlier. The trip turns into a waking nightmare as the bloodthirsty Jason emerges from the shadows, wielding a deadly machete and out for blood. Cut off from civilization, these youths discover too late that Crystal Lake bears the scars of a violent past as they uncover the terrifying events that spurred the masked killer’s quest for violent vengeance.

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!
