Creamy Goodness Wrote:V felt very forced to me. The kills are tame and Ethel and Junior are annoying as all hell. The twist is interesting, but by the time that came about I just wanted the damn thing to end already. Friday the 13th isn't Friday the 13th without Jason as far as I'm concerned. That's why I'm not a big fan of the original film either.Personally, I've got yet to see any Jason who beats Betsy Palmer's eerily calm, smiling persona in scare-factor x_X.
I can see your point about the deaths being forced in V, though I don't necessarily agree; I think they may have felt different mostly because the tone in V was different overall (again, more mystery-oriented)... well, except the road flare kill, I think the un-realism of that one killed the scene for me.
âThe Fright Night remake is a film which taps into the audienceâs deepest rooted fears, such as those of vampires throwing motorcycles at them. I dread the thought of a vampire throwing a refrigerator or a deskjet printer or... Iâd better stop before I give myself nightmaresâ
