Rivisto quel classico moderno dell'horror che è
Jason X!
Nel 2010 viene ritrovato per la milionesima volta il corpo del buon
Jason Voorhees; questa volta però viene catturato dall'esercito (imperdibile la comparsata di
David Cronenberg!) che lo vuole studiare come arma. Con tanto acume c'è ancora chi si stupisce se non riescono a finire una guerra che una...
Ad ogni modo
Il Nostro - qui armato di machete & maschera da hockey come da regolamento - va in
berserk e accoppa un po' di gente, finché non si riesce a bloccarlo in una cella criogenica, in compagnia di una gentil donzella che doveva studiarlo.
A rovinare ulteriormente la giornata, si aggiunge il fatto che nel frattempo il clima della Terra degrada fino a renderla inabitabile; l'umanità si trasferisce quindi su altri pianeti e satelliti.
500 anni dopo, una spedizione scientifica ritrova il corpo di Jason perfettamente congelato e lo porta su una navetta spaziale dove, grazie a nanotecnologie i due ghiaccioli vengono scongelati e resuscitati.
Noto che anche nel futuro l'acume abbonda.
Scatta immediatamente il massacro e verso la fine
Jason gets an upgrade, trasformandolo in un ancora più letale macchina da guerra!
Trovandoci su una navetta il
body count non sale più di tanto, e il film si ricorda più per quantità e qualità della gnocca presente che non per gli sbudellamenti. Come da tradizione, finale aperto: non vediamo l'ora di averne ancora e ancora e ancora e ancora...
Come estetica e qualità il recente
Doom deve molto a questo
J X; non che questa sia una nota di merito per le due pellicole, ma tant'è...

Ultimi lavori: Biografia:David Cronenberg, also known as the King of Venereal Horror or the Baron of blood, was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, in 1943. His father was a journalist, and his mother was a piano player. After showing an inclination for literature at an early age (he wrote and published eerie short stories, thus following his father's path) and for music (playing classical guitar until he was 12), Cronenberg graduated from the University of Toronto with a degree in Literature after switching from the science department. He reached the cult status of horror-meister with the gore-filled, modern-vampire variations of Shivers (1975) and Rabid (1977), following an experimental apprenticeship in independent filmmaking and in Canadian television programs.Cronenberg gained popularity with the head-exploding, telepathy-based Scanners (1981) after the release of the much underrated, controversial, and autobiographical The Brood (1979). Cronenberg become a sort of a mass media guru with Videodrome (1983), a shocking investigation of the hazards of reality-morphing television and a prophetic critique of contemporary aesthetics. The issues of tech-induced mutation of the human body and topics of the prominent dichotomy between body and mind were back again in The Dead Zone (1983) and The Fly (1986), both bright examples of a personal filmmaking identity, even if both films are based on mass-entertainment materials: the first being a rendition of a Stephen King best-seller, the latter a remake of famous American horror movie.With Dead Ringers (1988) and Naked Lunch (1991), the Canadian director, no more a mere genre movie-maker but a fully realized auteur, got the acclaim of international critics. Such profound statements on modern humanity and ever-changing society are prominent in the provocative Crash (1996/I) and in the virtual reality essay of eXistenZ (1999), both of which well fared at the Cannes and Berlin Film Festivals. Cronenberg continues to be an active filmmaker today.
Trivia random: Was offered the chance to direct Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) but he declined.
Citazione random: "Since I see technology as being an extension of the human body, it's inevitable that it should come home to roost."
