This One Is So Cool
23 November 2003 | by (Montreal, Canada) – See all my reviews

I've seen my share of movies in 3D but they were ok. "Friday The 13th" in 3D was so cool and when they showed this movie in the theatre about 3 or 4 yrs. ago well I went to see it and it was so neat to see it on the big screen. I wish they would make more movies in 3D because I liked them so much especially horror movies like this one.
