Arrow Video Bringing ‘Friday the 13th’ Remake to 4K Ultra HD with New Bonus Features!

Can you believe it’s now been FIFTEEN YEARS since Jason Voorhees last appeared on the big screen? Arrow Video is celebrating that sad anniversary with some great news, bringing the 2009 remake of horror classic Friday the 13th to 4K Ultra HD this September!

The release is scheduled for September 17, 2024, and it’s up for pre-order now.

Arrow Video previews the upcoming release, “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.

“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.”

Among them, the young Clay Miller (Jared Padalecki) 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.”
