‘The Last Breath’ Trailer Features The Late Julian Sands

One of the best but understated horror directors of our time, Marcus Nispel, is finally going to see a 4K release of his 2009 remake of Friday the 13th. After the success of his remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the Hollywood machine hired him to reboot another iconic horror movie, Friday the 13th.

With his visual style and ability to flesh out the Jason lore, Nispel created a crisp, honest and gruesome entry into the beloved slasher. Perhaps by his hand or at the advice of studio execs, the film was trimmed, leaving a few plotholes in the finished product and robbing viewers of seeing more of Nispel’s exquisite storytelling. Thankfully this release includes a director’s cut and some deleted scenes.

You can pre-order your copy at Arrow Video HERE.

According to JoBlo, here is what you can expect from this glorious collector’s 4K edition of the underrated reboot:

“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!”
