In the chilling reboot Friday the 13th (2025), Crystal Lake is reopened as a luxury eco-resort, drawing influencers and thrill-seekers. Among them is Lily Harper, a true-crime podcaster who suspects the Jason Voorhees legend is more than just myth. When guests begin disappearing, Lily uncovers decades of hidden town secrets and suppressed police files.

Jason, revived by dark forces tied to the land’s cursed origins, dons a new scorched mask and wields a rusted machete as he hunts the intruders defiling his domain. The murders are brutal, cinematic, and symbolic—punishing vanity, greed, and ignorance.

Lily and a small group of survivors trap Jason beneath the resort’s geothermal core, triggering a fiery collapse. As ash rains down, they escape by boat—only for Lily to spot ripples in the water… and Jason’s cracked mask floating.

The final frame cuts to black with the eerie sound of his breathing—he’s not gone. He never was.
