Spoilers ahead

On June 13, 1980, a young Jason Voorhees watches in horror as his mother, Pamela (Nana Visitor), is brutally beheaded by a camp counselor while she attempts to escape Mrs. Voorhees’s murderous rampage at Camp Crystal Lake. Fast forward nearly thirty years later, a group of friends—Wade (Jonathan Sadowski), Richie (Ben Feldman), Mike (Nick Mennell), Whitney (Amanda Righetti), and Amanda (America Olivo)—arrive at Crystal Lake for a camping adventure, hoping to find marijuana hidden deep in the woods. Tragically, that night, an adult Jason (Derek Mears) slaughters everyone in the group, sparing Whitney, whom he captures due to her striking resemblance to his mother during her younger years.
