The new Friday the 13th remake looks dumb. |
|
And I was kind of digging it from the earlier trailers.
The problem I have with it is Crystal Lake appears to be abandoned, which means no children and cute camp counselors in very short shorts. I've never taken the series seriously, knowing it's a very tongue in cheek horror movie, but this version actually tries to be serious and I know because of this it will fail.

2. Damn. No wrapping victims around a tree? Folding them in half in their sleeping bags? |

As I said, the Friday series rarely took itself seriously. It was a gore & boob fest and that is exactly what fans wanted.
This version, though, looks serious in tone and that doesn't fly with me. I want cheesy fun with awesome kills.
Like the poster above you said, a kill involving Jason wrapping a girl wrapped in a sleeping bag around a tree. Fucking sweet.

6. Right. It lacks the intellectual nuance of the first 426. |

How can Friday the 13th series have any credibility after this?
It's just not possible.
:P

9. The first "Friday the 13th" was so preposterous and lame that the audience I saw the film with |

was cheering the killer. Critics, who were right, said the victims deserved to be killed because they were so damned dumb, and I agree. Why would a remake be better?
