"Friday the 13th" remake details


STYD got the chance to speak to Aaron Yoo (Disturbia) about his part in the upcoming "Friday the 13th" remake, which he says could end up being one of the best horror movies ever made.

"From what I'm hearing and what we were trying to do, is that it might be one of the most well-made horror movies that you'll see," he said. "I'm hearing really, really good things about it. We're calling it 'F13' and I don't know if that will actually wind up being a tagline for it, but I know our Platinum Dunes guys, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form, they did 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre,' they told me this is the best movie they've made."

Yoo goes on to explain why he feels that the new Jason Voorhees is not quite like the old. "I think the biggest difference is that Jason is fast, and he's realistic," he explained. "It's not the kind of horror movie where stalk slowly, run fast and somebody catches up, there's none of the teleportation thing (from past movies)...the basic storyline idea of Jason is the same, and he's got this two and a half foot machete."

Finally, Yoo drops a spoiler about his character. So Spoilers Ahead:

"There are horror conventions that are there because they work," he began. "Like when my characters goes to this toolshed by himself, you know what's going to happen, that's partially the point. I spent 14 hours covered, covered, covered in fake blood and that is the worst situation you could ever be in... it's the grossest."
