For those who have at least seen one horror movie have encountered but may not have noticed these guidelines. Now, it's titled "10 Rules of horror movies" but the genre of horror has expanded nowadays. These rules mostly apply to the "slasher" films, for example Halloween or more recently Prom Night or My Bloody Valentine.
1.) Someone always has to have sex
2.) The people who do have sex, always die
3.) There must always be alcohol and/or drugs
4.) If the starring or supporting actor is a woman, she will always live
5.) No matter how fast you run the killer will always be faster
6.) Regardless of where the character gets hurt they will always bleed from the mouth
7.) The characters will always be WAY more curious than the average person
8.) They will never shoot/stab/hit the killer in the head
9.) The police will never come but if they do, they don't ever help
10.) I saved this one for last on purpose, out of the main group of characters if the black guy doesn't die within the first half of them...he will not die
If you guys got any leave a comment and let me know.

The next long awaited chapter in the Friday the 13th saga "slashed" into theaters this past weekend on, of course, Friday the 13th. Personally I feel much closure after the previous "Jason X". Anyone who has seen one of the past films or any of the classic slasher movies might be hesitant to buy a ticket in fear that it won't live up the expectations created from the hype but let me assure you, it deserves a chance.
Other than one of the most epic opening sequences, "holding back" was obviously not on the mind of the film makers. Jason's new homicidal episode has all the necessary horror movie cliches; sex, drugs, violence and that teenage curiosity of "what that sound was". Micheal Bay and filmmakers attention to certain details was quite impressive. Excluding Jason X and Freddy vs. Jason, it has been over decade since we last saw Voorhees and his age is noticeable. But judging from this movie I wouldn't worry about an early retirement. His mastery of his art that would follow his years of practice is not hidden behind a hockey mask either.
On the down side, Jason's mama's boy personality is played up in this version more than the past. I couldn't help but to compare it to the once masked wrestler Kane's role in See No Evil. Director Marcus Nispel also choose to show many aspects of Jason's day to day life that was better left to the imagination.
In reality though, out of the countless remakes that appear every summer Friday the 13th stays the most true to the originals and pleases die hard Jason Voorhees addicts.
