The masked menace returns. New Line Cinema has officially unveiled the teaser trailer for the highly anticipated reboot of Friday the 13th, set for a chilling 2025 release. Reimagined for a new generation, the classic slasher franchise breathes again with a darker, more psychological tone while staying true to its brutal roots.
The teaser offers haunting glimpses of Camp Crystal Lake, abandoned and cloaked in fog, before eerie whispers and screams flood the soundscape. Just as the tension builds, the unmistakable silhouette of Jason Voorhees, wielding his signature machete, emerges from the shadows—confirming that the horror icon is far from done.
Directed by David Bruckner (The Night House, Hellraiser), this reboot promises a fresh take on the legend, blending slow-burning dread with explosive gore. New Line Cinema aims to reignite the franchise while delivering unnerving atmosphere and bloody carnage in equal measure.
Though the teaser keeps plot details under wraps, rumors suggest the story will explore Jason’s origin with psychological depth, possibly including flashbacks that recontextualize the trauma behind the mask.
The film is expected to feature a cast of young rising stars alongside horror veterans, with a full-length trailer anticipated later this year.
🎬 Friday the 13th (2025) slashes into theaters October 10, 2025—just in time for the spookiest season.
