Plot
On Friday, June 13, 1980, a young Jason Voorhees watches as his mother Pamela is beheaded by Alice Hardy, who was trying to escape Mrs. Voorhees's murder spree around Camp Crystal Lake. 28 years later, five friends—Wade, Richie, his girlfriend Amanda, Mike, and his girlfriend Whitney—arrive for a camping trip at Crystal Lake, where they hope to find a crop of marijuana growing in the woods. That night, an adult Jason kills everyone except Whitney, whom he captures as she resembles his mother at a young age.
Six weeks later, Trent, his girlfriend Jenna, and friends Chelsea, Bree, Chewie, Nolan, and Lawrence arrive at Trent's summer cabin on the shore of Crystal Lake. Meanwhile, Whitney's brother Clay Miller arrives at the lake to search for her, despite his local sheriff's pleas to look elsewhere. Clay visits Trent's cabin, and Jenna agrees to help him search for Whitney. Chelsea and Nolan go wakeboarding on the lake where Jason kills Nolan with an arrow and Chelsea with his machete. Meanwhile, Clay and Jenna search the old Crystal Lake campgrounds, where they eventually see Jason hauling a body into an abandoned camp house.
Jenna and Clay run back to the cabin to warn the others about Jason. Chewie is killed by Jason in a tool shed near the cabin, while Trent and Bree have sex in a bedroom. Jenna and Clay arrive, and Clay calls the police. Jason then disconnects the cabin's electricity. Lawrence heads outside to search for Chewie, and Jason kills him with an axe. Jason then sneaks inside and kills Bree. A police officer arrives and knocks on the front door, but is killed by Jason before he can enter. Trent, Clay, and Jenna escape the cabin and become separated, but Trent is killed by Jason when he reaches the main road.
