Check out what's new on DVD.

“Friday the 13th”

(R, 97 minutes)

A group of hot friends stumbles into Camp Crystal Lake, where 29 years ago a young boy (Jason) drowned, which prompted his mother to kill the counselors, which prompted a sole survivor to decapitate her, which prompted Jason to return from the dead to continue the vengeful spree, which prompted an endless movie franchise.

The friends are murdered in horrible ways. One girl survives but is imprisoned by Jason.

The story jumps forward a month. The captured girl’s brother comes poking around Crystal Lake. While posting fliers for his missing sister, he hooks up with a group of hot friends heading to a cabin. The same fate awaits. The movie has a couple of half-laughs, zero scares and only one moment of artistically inventive slaughter. Contains strong bloody violence, graphic sexual content, language and drugs. DVD Extras: Featurette; deleted scenes.

Also out this week: “The Cell 2,” “Morning Light,” “The Three Stooges Collection Vol. 6,” “Burn Notice: Season 2” and “Family Guy: Vol. 7.”
