Friday The 13th 2009

[Bojangles]

See I really didn't like the remake to TCM, I think it was a travesty. I would rather they make more sequels and continue the story. But the truth is even those would probably disappoint me. I'm a big believer in that the movies were great because of the time they were made in, which has passed. That is why, for me anyway, none of the modern attempts to recapture the 80s slasher craze or the 70s gritty horror film work (the exception of course being The Devil's Rejects).

That said I love things like Behind the Mask, which was a new twist on the genre.

You're right. That time has passed and unfortunately no one can capture that feeling again. Even thought I liked the TCM remake, I now see your point.

Dude, to keep squeezing money outta Jason and Friday the 13th, they HAVE to do things like giving him a back story. Kinda like Rob Zombie did with Halloween. Today people want a deeper experience, and though I love Mr Voorhees just as much as the rest of you gore hounds, I can't blame them. I mean, we've SEEN Jason slaughter his way through 11 films, and I'm getting a bit bored, though it was nice to see Mr. Kruger again:zombie:
Then again, what do I know? I'm a zombie dude


P.S. I'm pretty stoked about the remake. At least these films keep these movieologies around. And YES, I made up that word!!!:zombie:

I think RZ read up on too many typical serial killers, and also watch the TCM remake too many times before making the Halloween remake. IMO the TCM remake was so much better than the H remake.
