Peacock It’s been nearly 50 years since the debut of Sean S. Cunningham’s “Friday the 13th.” The indie film became a horror classic, and helped revolutionize the slasher genre. Multiple sequels and reboots have turned the narrative into an expansive franchise, but the Peacock series “Crystal Lake” finally gives fans an unprecedented window into Jason Voorhees’ origin story. Overseen by “It: Welcome to Derry” showrunner Brad Caleb Kane, “Crystal Lake” is the disturbing and violent tale of Pam Voorhees (Linda Cardellini), who, following the drowning of her son, Jason (Callum Vinson), attempts to pull herself out of her sorrow. However, when body parts start appearing in the nearby woods and mysterious men descend on the town, it becomes clear Pam isn’t exactly who she says she is. Thoughtful though overlong, “Crystal Lake” offers a new take on Jason’s horrifying beginnings while honoring the lure of the classic film.
