Friday the 13th (2020)

Friday the 13th is a 2020 American Slasher Horror film written by David Bruckner and Nick Antosca directed by Breck Eisner. The film serves as the second re-imagining of the Friday the 13th horror film franchise that began with Sean S. Cunnigham and Victor Miller's 1980 box office hit. The film serves as the sixth horrorverse instalment, following on from Evil Dead (2013), IT (2017), Halloween Returns (2018), Hellraiser (2019) and Child's Play (2019).

The film re-introduces the series killer horror icon Jason Voorhees, as well as deceased murderous mother Pamela and frequent franchise protagonist Tommy Jarvis, among other reintroduced and new characters. The film eventually ties in to the 2026 crossover film Terrordome as well as the 2025 Freddy Vs. Jason re-imagining.

The film was shot in Sussex County, New Jersey, specifically on the constructed cabin and building sets of Kittatinny Lake, Sussex County.

The film is the second Friday the 13th reboot following Michael Bay and Platinum Dunes' Friday the 13th (2009), which combined plot elements of the first four original Friday the 13th film instalments. This film distributed by Jason Blum and his company Blumhouse Productions on a raised budget combines elements of the entire franchise overrall, minus the ninth and subsequent tenth instalments, though there are homages to both films present in the film as easter eggs.

The film was released to commercial success and mixed to somewhat positive reception from critics as well as audience acclaim.

It stars Daniel Gilchrist, Brianna Hildebrand, Tommy Dorfman, Lili Reinhart, Austin Abrams, Jacob Batalon, Jacob Latimore, Kylee Russell, Teala Dunn, David Castro, Lindsay Duncan and Erin Moriaty.
