Friday the 13th
Cinema is a screen onto which we can project our fears, torments and the monstrosities of the world. The screen protects us from what we see, but cinema has also permanently anchored our nightmares around a few powerful images (empty houses, hostile attics and basements, demonic masks, bloodcurdling grimaces, disturbing postures). Throughout the summer, the Cinémathèque québécoise will be presenting a series of films encompassing more than one hundred and twenty years of horror, reminding us that what scares us most is to make the deepest of our fears tangible and credible.
On Friday, September 13, 1957, a young boy named Jason Voorhees drowned at Camp Crystal Lake. The following year, two counselors were also killed. Following these events, the camp remained abandoned.
In 1979, Steve Christy decided to reopen the camp on Friday April 13, the anniversary of the deaths that had occurred twenty-one years earlier. While preparing the camp for the summer, the counselors employed by Christy began to disappear one after the other during the night. The same killer who struck back in 1958 is back for bloody justice...
The trailer is in English original version, but the movie will be presentend with some French subtitles.
