"These films have a ridiculously convoluted history. [Jason] shows up in Part 2, gets killed in Part 4. There's an impostor in a Jason mask in Part 5. Jason comes back as a zombie in Part 6. Toxic sludge turns him back into a child at the end of Part 8. He gets blown up in the opening minutes of Part 9 and then becomes a body-hopping force of evil that gets sucked into hell. In Part 10 the earth is destroyed, Jason becomes a cyborg and lands on an alien planet. Where could the series possibly go at that point? A reboot is the only sane answer." —Devin Faraci of Chud.com on the reboot of Friday the 13th [NYT]
