Friday The 13th

[Darth Maul]

Friday the 13th is coming out in 2009. It will be directed by Marcus Nispel, and written by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift. The film is a reboot of the Friday the 13th film series, whose last film was the 2003 crossover film Freddy vs. Jason. Nispel helmed the 2003 remake of Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, while Shannon and Swift wrote the screenplay for Freddy vs. Jason. The film stars Derek Mears as Jason Voorhees, Jared Padalecki and Amanda Righetti portraying the male and female leads, respectively. Set for a Friday, February 13, 2009 release, the film will take "elements from all three [of the first] movies"

Im not sure this film is going to be good or not, Id like to see a trailer though.

[Matrix_Fan]

Managed to see a bootleged Comic-con trailer before it was taken down. Best part about it is that Jason finally runs.

Looking forward to this, hopefully, they won't launch him into space this time.

[SnoBorderZero]

I'm glad to see the horror section is back.

And I'm with you guys, I've seen every F13 movie and I have little hope for this one, but I know I'll be there opening night. Looking at the director and writers: I actually liked the TCM remake, so the director should do a decent job here hopefully. The bad is that the writers were responsible for Freddy vs. Jason, which had some really bad writing and there's no Freddy this time around to save the day with one liners.

Also, judging from the fact that they're going off of the first 3 movies, how little time from the original will we see (that being Jason's mom as the killer from the original) since I'm assuming they'd want as much Jason as possible.

Yeah just random ramblings, but I'm actually looking forward to this even if I have little hope. And Matrix, Jason RUNS in the trailer? I kinda like that.

[the elmo zombie]

i am very much looking forward to this. i've always loved the character of jason but hated the movies he was in so i've always thought a remake could be good. i want to see that trailer though

[therook]

What Jason runs. Why in the hell does he need to run. He could just kill somebody with him walking. But I wanna see the trailer. Can't wait till it comes out online. Big fan of the series

[carnage4u]

i grew up on this movies. i'll always see a new movie with jason in it. Hopefully it wont make me want to tear my eyes out.

As far as a "fast" jason goes

In part 4. Jason did move fast at many points. It was before he was turned into a more Undead "zombie" jason as is commonly referred to for the later movies.

[Matrix_Fan]

Managed to find the Comic-con teaser. Thought it was taken down, but trust the power of the internet I suppose.

Footage is a little blurry, but it gets better as it goes along.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=743ro-XbY8A

[SnoBorderZero]

Well I suppose from the trailer it looks... decent. I mean the reality is none of the F13 films are any good (save the 1st and 6th one) and since the last 4 weren't just bad but terrible any kind of reboot is welcome. As long as this is nothing like that awful Halloween remake, I'll be satisfied.

And carnage is right, Jason does run at times in the series. He did in Pt. 2 as well, though not for a kill.

[therook]

Looks promising but I want a Theatrical Trailer now.

[FranklinTard]

you can post threads in here... weird....

[Darth Maul]

that was pretty cool, I'd like to see the hd version.

[Ewok Droppings]

I'm willing to bet this movie will suck.

[Where's my elephant?]

I hope it's not like the other New Line Cinema ones which felt like Sci Fi Channel original movies production wise.

[sshuttari]

whoa! the horror section is back.

new Friday movie huh?

looks around... and walks right back out...

[DVDAVE]

Um when did this section come back lol. I am not to sure about the new Friday The 13th. I am wondering how they are going to explain how he gets his mask. Hey at least on the bright side the actor playing doesnt need much make up, that is one wierd looking dude.

[SnoBorderZero]

For getting his mask they could probably stick with what happened in Part III, just some kid wearing a hockey mask that gets gutted.

So any word as to Jason's mom running around killing people for the first 20 minutes? Or do you guys think it'll just be a little montage over the opening credits?

[unity768]

glad to see the horror section back..looks like another crappy remake, hopefully they do the original some justice and make a good or at least decent film.

[Agent Deadpool]

Ive always loved the Friday movies. I'll def be checking this out

[sabin26]

I met Derek at Monster Mania here in New Jersey over the weekend. He is one tall mofo and I think he'll be great as Jason. The running I think I can get over, but I really enjoyed the first one and I reall haven't enjoyed any of the other horror remakes (except Halloween, guess I'm the only one). I'll be in line to see it and really hope they don't change the classic Jason music before he kills somebody.

[stuv984]

*edit*

[J1gS4w]

This movie looks awesome! I will hope for the best. If it turns out terrible then oh well, it's just a movie. Also, am I like the only person that liked the Halloween remake?

[EnderDeschain]

This movie looks awesome! I will hope for the best. If it turns out terrible then oh well, it's just a movie. Also, am I like the only person that liked the Halloween remake?

Yes. Yes you are.

I was very skeptical of this at first. I'm less concerned with Jason running than I am this "elaborate underground tunnel system" that he uses to get around in. I read about that on Bloody Disgusting quite a while back and my stomach turned. That sounds ****ty as can be. But the more I see of interviews with the cast and crew and what-not, the more hopeful I become. I doubt they'll do as good as the TCM remake did, but it's intriguing if nothing else, and has me very impatient waiting for it.

[SnoBorderZero]

Yeah the Halloween remake was terrible in every way. I can't take 1 positive from that awful, awful movie. Rob Zombie sucks.

[J1gS4w]

I really liked that movie. I love how he changed it around. There was a lot of non needed language but, I guess it made it kind of a connection what he became. I don't I thought it was great!

[SnoBorderZero]

He changed it around into pure garbage. The backstory was stupid and boring, he ruined the character of Michael Myers, there was no suspense, unimaginative kill scenes, and the actual remake part was so bad I couldn't believe it. It was one of the worst remakes ever, and that's saying something. Rob Zombie sucks.

Different taste in movies I guess :P

I agree I really did not like "Halloween". But again this is another sensless remake of one of the best Horror movies ever made period. Why the hell remake it. But Rob Zombie does have some skills in my eyes at least. I really liked "The Devils Rejects".

[SnoBorderZero]

Devil's Rejects was alright, but he's made 1 bad movie, 1 decent movie, and 1 awful remake. I think it's time for him to go away.

[Ewok Droppings]

Rob Zombie's problem is that his dialogue and characters in his movies are so over-the-top weird and retarded that it's distracting.

[DVDAVE]

Rob Zombie's problem is that his dialogue and characters in his movies are so over-the-top weird and retarded that it's distracting.

I see what your saying. But like I said I loved "The Devils Rejects" but it definitly is not for everyone. Your right, his dialogue is way over the top and it really catches people off gaurd.

[EnderDeschain]

The Devil's Rejects was an awesome movie, I loved it. That has nothing to do with ****fest Halloween.

[Matrix_Fan]

Other than Rob Zombie writing and directing both. :P

Anyways, I actually hated both House Of 1000 Corpses AND Devil's Rejects much to the chagrin of a friend of mine. But I had a few moments of enjoyment in the Halloween remake, but I hated the unrated director's cut on dvd.

Rob Zombie has a nice visual style, but he has trouble writing a good script.

That new flick he's doing seems promising, but we'll see.

As for F13, I'm just happy he's not doing this one. LOL.

[SnoBorderZero]

He's an awful writer. Just watch the opening scenes of Halloween with the family "talking" with each other for proof. Really if the guy didn't have the music background, all of his stuff would be direct to video. He's really not talented.

[DVDAVE]

I think your right his writing isn't the best . But I agree with Matrix Fan , I think he has a great visual style. I love his ideas but his execution is off par. I think it's because he cant flesh out his ideas on paper well (because of his lack of knowing how to write). He is kinda like M. Night ( Just a little ) I think both of them would find out that if they hire a writer to flesh out their ideas they could be really great.

[SnoBorderZero]

To me M. Night's a great writer (though his last two entries were awful) and a terrible director. I think Zombie is just terrible in general.

[Escape]

Managed to see a bootleged Comic-con trailer before it was taken down. Best part about it is that Jason finally runs.

Excellent! That means no more of that walking as if he's out for a Sunday stroll, while the inevitable victim eventually trips over a
tree stump, rock or their own two feet. :D

That new Jason looks too small for the part though. His shoulders are so narrow. I'm not sure I like that. I mean when he has the clothes on and not the pic of him in that wife beater.

[Jokerzilla]

I watched the Friday trailer about a week ago, and the fact that he finally runs is what got me incredibly hyped. I'll hopefully go see this around the time it first coems out with my mom.

[SouthsideX300]

The remake looks great, the only nit picking i can really do is his long white hair.

[Jokerzilla]

I didn't see any long white hair...

And in response to the discussion up top, Rob Zombie's problem with dialogue is he adds too many curse words to the script. It's funny the first few times, but after a while it becomes incredibly annoying.

[SnoBorderZero]

Yeah also none of his dialogue are discussions real people have. He's really terrible.

[Jokerzilla]

I liked his Halloween remake, even more so than the original, but everytime I watch it, the only thing that really bothers me is the cursing.

[SnoBorderZero]

I disliked that and the fact that he took everything that made John Carpenter's version great and **** on it and made a trash heap. I hope the F13 remake is closer to TCM than Halloween or Hills Have Eyes.

[Jokerzilla]

I liked Zombie's version better than Carpenter's...he created a Michael you could actually be scared of.

[SnoBorderZero]

Really? I thought that by giving him a backstory he did the opposite. Sometimes the less we know the scarier it is.

[Jokerzilla]

Sometimes, I agree that works, but I just liked Zombie's version better. Plus, Compton's Laurie wasn't an idiot like Curtis.

http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2007/news/070903/scout_taylor_compton.jpg

Jokerzilla approves.

[MovieDownloadMatrix]

I really hope this movie does not suck! I have seen every Friday The 13th movie and in my teenage years the first 3 will really kicked butt!

Remakes put a puky feeling in my gut...because most of them are complete and utter failures... Will Hollywood listen to the movie forums? Probaly not! We may need a forum for script writers that can improve on Hollywoods pile of junk re-makes!

[Escape]

I liked Zombie's version better than Carpenter's...he created a Michael you could actually be scared of.
I couldn't disagree with you more Jokerzilla. Zombie showed little Michael to be sensitive at times which was a fatal flaw. There was no longer that mystery of evil that surrounded him. Showed too much of his face as well.

[JT3294]

I HATED the new Halloween lol.

Michael Myers is one of the all time scariest slashers to me and I just try to ignore the last installment lol.

Zombie (who's 1000 Corpse movies are pretty disturbing) tried WAY to hard to make us sympathize with Michael.

He made everyone Myers encountered out to be a dick and the moment you make us go... "awww, poor Michael Myers" is the moment that you've totally thrashed the fear behind him. He goes from a psychotic madman of pure evil to a victim of circumstance. SHAME Mr. Zombie... SHAME!

The chicks were hot in it though lol. That gets my approval lol.

[Jokerzilla]

I couldn't disagree with you more Jokerzilla. Zombie showed little Michael to be sensitive at times which was a fatal flaw. There was no longer that mystery of evil that surrounded him. Showed too much of his face as well.

I respect your opinion, but nine times outta ten, I'd be more scared if I saw Zombie's Myers coming down the street than Carpenter's.

Also, isn't Odette Yustman supposed to be in the new Friday the 13th?

[Wolverine]

I liked Zombie's version better than Carpenter's...he created a Michael you could actually be scared of.

Sorry but I totally disagree. I think the fact you didn't know the backstory of why he killed his sister made him scarier.

[Escape]

I respect your opinion, but nine times outta ten, I'd be more scared if I saw Zombie's Myers coming down the street than Carpenter's.
I think Zombie attempted to make him scarier by using his large physical presence which would work in most films when a big juice monkey is coming at you with a knife, where as the original did it by using a mysterious and unlimited presence of evil within this killer on a supernatural level. The non existent light in his eyes is something so tough to imagine or to comprehend, that it ups it a notch in the freaky scary department.

[tvseries]

This is my childhood favorite horror movie, can't wait to watch it again.

[SnoBorderZero]

The non existent light in his eyes is something so tough to imagine or to comprehend, that it ups it a notch in the freaky scary department.

That's probably the best comparison of why Carpenter's Michael is scarier I've read. Zombie just isn't good, that's pretty obvious by his 3 movies so far (1 decent, 2 awful). He doesn't know how to create suspense like Carpenter, he can't write, he used the Halloween theme in stupid spots, his characters were all one-dimensional, there were no scares, there were no interesting kills, and the movie was really, really boring. I found it worse than even Halloween Resurrection, it was that bad.

I'm hoping this movie does not go that route, and I'm confident that while it won't be anything great, it can at least be leagues ahead of Zombie's pitiful "remake". As long as there's at least some fun characters/kills I'll be satisfied. Anything has to be an improvement over Jason Goes to Hell or Jason X.

[Jokerzilla]

I took Jason X as a fun movie and what could be done if they pushed the supernatural element with Jason that much further. It was a cool idea...just handled wrong. However, Uber Jason was indeed kickass.

[SnoBorderZero]

Uber Jason was alright but like you said was like the whole movie, handled wrong. The movie took itself too seriously for being so ridiculous. If it had poked more fun at itself like it did with the camping simulation then it may have turned out... mediocre.

[JT3294]

I'm not sure a Jason movie has been taken seriously since The Final Chapter turned out to only be the interlude.

That's what bugs me sometimes is, like Freddy Vs. Jason for example, people criticize movies like that and say... "Aw it sucked... there was no story" or "the acting was sub par" or "it was cheesy". If you saw ANY Freddy movie or ANY Jason movie in the last 20 years for any reason other than to see teenagers get decapitated you went for all the wrong reasons lol.

(Aside from maybe A New Nightmare which was actually pretty damn decent)

[SnoBorderZero]

I agree, but if you look at Part VI, it does poke fun at the series, and turned out to be by far the best of the sequels. For F13 I think Parts 1, 2, and 6 are decent movies, and for NOES the original is one of the best horror movies ever and 3 and New Nightmare are solid as well. Yeah they're all for fun and cheese, but Jason X took it a littleeeee bit too far.

[JT3294]

Could be worse... ever seen Leprechaun... specifically Leprechaun in Space? Wow

[Jokerzilla]

Uber Jason was alright but like you said was like the whole movie, handled wrong. The movie took itself too seriously for being so ridiculous. If it had poked more fun at itself like it did with the camping simulation then it may have turned out... mediocre.

Yep, I'd like to see a remake taken more serious and put in a more serious tone.

[Prak, the Mad]

...The backstory was stupid and boring, he ruined the character of Michael Myers, there was no suspense, unimaginative kill scenes...
sounds to me like he nailed it. Wtf is the point of Mike any ways? He just randomly slays oversexed teenage girls who are too old to be babysitters (these days), no motivation, no imagination, etc. Unless I'm off on my understanding of Mikey, sounds like you hated the remake because it was accurate to the character.

-well, I looked at the wiki for mikey, and It sounds like, yes, Zombie might have fcked up in some peoples eyes by explaining Mikey, but... I think giving a backstory can make for a scarier character than a "shapeless unstoppable force." I mean, that's just bull. If someone were telling me an urban legend with a killer whose main scare factor is he killed his sister and no one knows why, I'd seriously reply with "so what?" If that killer seemingly started stalking us, I'd still not fcking care, I'd escape the situation whatever way is neccessary, but I really wouldn't be particularly scared...


before anyone asks, no, I haven't seen any Halloween movie, but I intend to see at least the remake.
[br]
anyway... am I the only person whose had the idea to do a Friday the 13th and Friday crossover? I'm sure I'm not... the idea is too horrible and obvious to not think of... but having Jason run around killing off Wayans brothers could be interesting... or at least entertaining...
[br]

as for the remake of F13, I'm definately going to see it.

[Matrix_Fan]

http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh295/mharris0128_photo/a5.jpg

Not only does Jason have an Ax(looks like it) in hand, but he has his trademark machete in a sling just incase he looses said ax?

That's using your brain Jason!;)

No offense man but you couldn't be farther off from the truth lol

First... then don't comment on Myers if you haven't seen ANYTHING with him in it.

Second... the Wayans Brothers were not in Friday... and I hope that was a joke anyway...

3rd... Ok? lol

[SnoBorderZero]

Yeah seriously, wtf is he talking about? He's commenting on the character when he hasn't seen a single movie. Ummm....

[JT3294]

Yeah... the Halloween sequels even had more story than any other slasher series sequels. Halloween has always had a *reletively* strict continuity and story line

[SnoBorderZero]

Yes it did, if you exclude Part 3 haha. And it did try to do more than F13 or NOES did. Some things didn't work, but in terms of a series is probably the best of the 3. The original is just... man it's so good.

[JT3294]

I've had nightmares before about all 3... but Myers is the only one that ever woke me up in a sweat

[circa_breathe]

I'm a horror fanatic. Always have been and always will be. And the idea of Friday the 13th being remade really does something for me. The franchise is classic, and one more can't hurt.

[circa_breathe]

Before I get bashed, one more can hurt (Jason X), but a film that's trying to get back to the roots of the original wont fail. And before anyone says anything, no I don't consider Zombie's I enjoyed the movie.

[JT3294]

I'm not sure I understand what you just said lol.

[Escape]

That's probably the best comparison of why Carpenter's Michael is scarier I've read. Zombie just isn't good, that's pretty obvious by his 3 movies so far (1 decent, 2 awful).

I found it worse than even Halloween Resurrection, it was that bad.

Thanks dude.

You're right about all you said there.

Zombie does have his cult followers so unfortunately, he'll always be around as long as he wants I'm sure.

Anything has to be an improvement over Jason Goes to Hell or Jason X.
I honestly didn't mind Jason X. It is my favourite of all the Friday the 13th films. I just love the sci fi aspect of it. Even reminded me of the holodeck of a Star Trek film. ;)

[JT3294]

It's like I've always said... until one proves otherwise (hopefully this one) I don't go and see a Freddy/Jason/Myers movie to be scared anymore... I go to see a plethora of heads get lobbed off.

Jason X blew as a horror film and was cheesy to the xtreme... but lots of folks got deaded in neato ways so I'll accept it lol.

I'm hoping THIS Friday the 13th will not be just some entertaining Dead Teenagers movie and will ACTUALLY be a GOOD scary movie.

[sabin26]

I'm with you JT, I really hope that this movie focuses on scaring the crap out of me instead of just finding interesting ways of killing stupid teenagers. When I first saw Jaws, Friday the 13th and Halloween way back when it made me scared to be alone; go into the water and go to a summer camp. That's what is missing with horror movies now a days, they don't make you scared to do something anymore.

[SouthsideX300]

I have high hopes for this. Very looking forward to it.

[Michael Corvin]

My mother & I plan on going to see this remake. Like many, I am very hyped for it.

[jbailey84]

(Aside from maybe A New Nightmare which was actually pretty damn decent)

i think Jason Lives pt VI was done pretty good, my fav of the series.

and i also thought FVJ was good too.

ive been a huge Jason fan since i was a kid.

the remake has me very interested. i hope it doesnt bore me like Rob Zombie's Halloween :(

[Michael Corvin]

I liked Zombie's Halloween, and am definitely looking forward to this. From what I've seen, this movie is going to be good. Maybe we'll get a good franchise and not just one movie?

[jbailey84]

if done right, im down for a trilogy maybe. if there is a second one, more than likely there will, i hope it isnt like the Texas Chainsaw Masscre: The Beginning or whatever it was called. that whole movie was pointless.

[SnoBorderZero]

I liked Zombie's Halloween, and am definitely looking forward to this. From what I've seen, this movie is going to be good. Maybe we'll get a good franchise and not just one movie?

I think that's certainly the intention here, that they'd like to get the F13 series up and running again especially since the Saw franchise (as bad as the last 2 movies have been) continues to make money each year. I think they tried to do the same with Rob Zombie's Halloween, but after the studio saw what a **** fest it was they decided against it. Hopefully this one turns out alright.

[Escape]

It's like I've always said... until one proves otherwise (hopefully this one) I don't go and see a Freddy/Jason/Myers movie to be scared anymore... I go to see a plethora of heads get lobbed off.


Lmao!!

[steintym]

I've actually liked a lot of the remakes that have been coming out recently (yes, even the Zombie Halloween). Most of them don't compare to the originals, but I have found them enjoyable. I have high hopes for this F13 remake.

[FilmJerk]

teaser was meh

[steintym]

I liked the look and feel of the teaser, but it didn't show me enough to really give me an opinion on what the final product will be like. I have liked most of what I've seen come out, though.

[Art_of_crime]

I have to say seeing jason run made me think that maybe this will be fun. I started getting excited. I didn't think I would, but there you go.

[Matrix_Fan]

Eh, it was severely edited down version of the Comic Con teaser, meaning there was more clips after the dude got dragged under the floor. Also, his hand and foot(I think) got impaled by Jason's machete in the CC teaser, but I guess they couldn't show that on TV.

[steintym]

I still have a hard time telling exactly what is going on. The CC footage I saw wasn't real clear and the teaser was definitely edited down. Still looks preety cool.

[unity768]

looks like another bad horror remake

[jbailey84]

maybe it'll be much clearer when its seen in the theaters or online, the non tv version.

[Ramplate]

same crap, different day

[FranklinTard]

yea looks like hot garbage.

[Matrix_Fan]

Saw the full teaser, and it doesn't look too bad. It has a pretty good atmosphere, and the addition of the narration from Jason's mother is effective.

[EnderDeschain]

Saw the full teaser, and it doesn't look too bad. It has a pretty good atmosphere, and the addition of the narration from Jason's mother is effective.

I just saw it before Saw 5 tonight. At least I think it's the same one you're talking about. I gotta say, it was pretty killer. Surprisingly so, especially 'cuz of like you said Jason's mother. That bit of monologue was pretty much line for line from the original, which is groovy. And the ending with Jason running, I was shocked by how cool that was. I was skeptical when I heard he'd run, but just seeing that little couple-second bit swayed my opinion quite a bit. It's way too early to feel positive or optimistic about this, but that teaser made me a little less skeptical at least.

They also showed the preview for My Bloody Valentine in friggin 3D. Awesome. Well not the remake 'cuz they're running that **** into the ground, but the 3D part anyway. I remember the original, I loved it when I was a kid, I guess I was too dumb to realize what a blatant Halloween / F13 ripoff it was. "Roses are red / Violets are blue / Harry Warden's dead / And so are you". I'm actually sorta looking forward to that, too. I'm such a sucker.

[JT3294]

I'm stoked on this the more and more I think about it. The first good Friday in ages.

The closer it gets the more I can't wait.

[Film Fan]

Saw the full teaser, and it doesn't look too bad. It has a pretty good atmosphere, and the addition of the narration from Jason's mother is effective.

I thought that the teaser looked good as well. Although its a device that has been added to other horror remakes, the fact that Jason runs in the trailer makes me more excited for the film than I would have otherwise been. At least it will be something that's a bit different from many of the other films in the franchise, or at least I would be led to believe it will be based on the trailer.

[jbailey84]

i didnt get to see the teaser before Saw 5 :( but i did watch it on youtube and it has my syked :D the whole sample of Mrs. Voorhees in the teaser was cool and I agree with the whole thing about Jason running for once, and not speed walking(which was a nice touch for a stalker killer in pt6)

[steintym]

Just watched the trailer and I think it looks good. As much as you can tell from a trailer, it looks promising. I like the look and feel, the speech from Mrs, Voohees was cool and a nice connection to the original, and Jason looked pretty cool, more similar to the earlier movies in the series.

[carnage4u]

horror movies are by far my favorite type of movie. I cannot wait for this movie.

[Prak, the Mad]

First... then don't comment on Myers if you haven't seen ANYTHING with him in it.

Second... the Wayans Brothers were not in Friday... and I hope that was a joke anyway...

3rd... Ok? lol

well, gee, now that I've seen the first movie in my cinema genres class, rather than having just read about the movies and character extensively, I guess I'm allowed to comment...

anyway, having now seen the first movie... I'm vaguely interested in the others, but really, the movie was just meh, same stupid slasher flick as all the others, just with a mundane human as the killer, he's not even some genetic reject like Leatherface (and I really don't rank any of them lower than him... but mikey's close...). I'm sorry, but if you're complaining about the swearing in Zombie's version, I've gotta wonder what you think about the pot in the original... even if you dismiss it as a part of the times, you hve to do the same with the swearing of the remake.

I still say Mikey's rather pointless, and that the "faceless shape of evil" is a bad model for a horror movie unless you're going to really play it up, which Halloween didn't, the fact that one needs to have such explained by the director really says something...

Second, a, they weren't? eh, whatever, never watched it... b, yes it was just a joke.

[SnoBorderZero]

You are so wrong about everything you said. The swearing in Zombie's crapfest wasn't shocking, it was just useless. No one talks the way they did in that movie. I know Zombie likes to believe the rest of the world is as strange as he is, but maybe he should go outside. Or better yet, learn to make a movie.

The original Halloween is on many film lists for a reason. Yes, watching it now it's outdated, but the impact it's had on the horror genre as well as considering the budget is extraordinary. The "explanations" weren't present in Carpernter's version aside from some necessary insight from Dr. Loomis. It was Zombie's ****ty remake that explained everything and ruined everything.

Rob Zombie blows, John Carpenter's great, and your Wayans Bros. comment displays your ignorance.

[Matrix_Fan]

Halloween basically invented the slasher genre(other than Psycho), and pretty much the standard set to all others of its kind. A killer with seemingly no motive is scarier that a killer with one IMO. The film is far from "Meh" as you so adequately put.

[carnage4u]

The halloween remake had some good Slasher aspects, but as a Halloween Movie it was not good.

The whole point of micheal myers is he is just some kid who goes crazy evil.

It is not where we needed to see him in a bad/rough family to try to justify it.

The original idea of a kid just becoming evil is much more effective then how it was done in the remake.

That was probalby the worst and most unforgiviable thing done in that movie. PLus micheal didnt have to be 7 feet tall to be powerful like he was here.

If this was some random slasher flick I probably woudl have enjoyed it more then the name Halloween being thrown on it.


BUT

this is a thread on Friday the 13th :) At its most complicated level its a slasher flick. If Jason runs around slaughtering people in a fairly brutal way and its Rated R for all the glorious reasons movies earn an R rating for, I'll be content. It seems they got the very basic theme down, and you dont need to go far from there.


I enjoy a complex movie or a movie that has many "layers" to the plot, but in all honestly I just want a brutal slasher flick in this remake and I'll be very happy. Jason slaughtering people in wild and crazy ways makes me happy on a level that should make me wonder if I should seek therapy.

[EvilOnTwoLegs]

I have high hopes for this remake as I'm a big F13 fan and have all the movies. From the looks of the trailer, it should be awsome.

[Matrix_Fan]

New poster!

http://comingsoon.net/nextraimages/fridayposter.jpg

Simple, but it works. Let's the audience know what to expect.......Jason with a machete. lol.

New trailer will debut at 5pm today as well.

[SnoBorderZero]

Now THAT is a cool poster.

[Darth Maul]

Holy shnikes bad ass poster now to see how the trailer is

[docstop]

They should have gone full hockey goalie theme and given him a massive goalie stick.

[EnderDeschain]

^ Ha. Yeah, that'd be awesome. Killer poster, but I could have done without the "from the producers of" part. I hate it when studios make a great poster and then junk it up with unnecessary text that ruins the iconography of it. What's the point of even having that there? Do they honestly think that's gonna convince anyone to see it or effect anything in any way? The Crystal Lake line is okay, but to be honest I think it might even have been cooler without that.

[EnderDeschain]

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y121/EnderDeschain/F13.jpg

See? I think that looks cooler.

[carnage4u]

trailer is up..

oh yeah

[EnderDeschain]

Thanks for telling me. I just watched it and I thought it was a little generic. I liked that they kept the Pamela voiceover from the teaser, but most of it just didn't grab me like I was hoping it would. The countdown thing was stupid, and I didn't like the couple seconds that seemed to confirm that "underground tunnel system" horse****. Things I did like about it: the sleeping bag, the boat, Jason with what looks like gauze all over his face, and him dropping down behind the cop.

[DAN!]

i liked the poster, didn't like the trailer.

[Darth Maul]

i kinda dug the trailer they had the eerie theme and mask... heh but we will see.... lovin the gauze

[EnderDeschain]

I think they were trying to rip themselves off and make it just like this one:

http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1808412006/trailer

but that one is far more effective. I still maintain that that's one of the best trailers ever put together. I've seen the movie multiple times already, but the preview is so damn good that it still gives me chills. This F13 is similar but that doesn't work for it. At all.

[DAN!]

there seems to be a lot of characters, so it looks like there will be a high body count which is cool

[Matrix_Fan]

Trailer had it's good and not so good points. The 2nd half worked mostly, though I hope they didn't give away every kill(sans gore). I didn't really like the teeny bopperness of some of their first half, but since we're getting it in the movie anyway, might as well show a taste of it.

Glad to see the Jason's "If you have sex, you die" rule about to play into effect.

Other than my little nitpicks, I still think the movie will be a lot of fun. Might end up being one of those "Go to Midnight Showing" flicks.

[DAN!]

it would be cool if it works out well. the friday movies were "ok." but i never thought they were special. the first one had a couple of cool killings, but jason was pretty much never in it. when he finally got the sword and mask, it got a little bit cooler. for slasher films, i always thought elm street was way cooler. I thought the deaths were cooler and freddy is more entertaining and lively than jason.

[FranklinTard]

that looks pretty on par with my expectations. you could tell it was the director of the, AWFUL, remake of texas chainsaw. hes using some of the exact same scenes with new actors/characters.

and the one thing that really got to me, jason runs, but i guess it adds another dimension... but i don't know about it yet.

[DAN!]

jason running is going to mess with the style. His whole approach on how he kills them is going to be different, which will probably ruin the suspense.

[FranklinTard]

thats what i figure. i mean the whole running teen edited with jason just stalking them from behind won't be in it. and thats the whole creepiness of it.

and what was up with that chick getting run over by the boat? how the hell does that happen?

[DAN!]

yeah. even in the first one that is what the mom did, was creep up behind them. that was the point. to get them unexpectedly. running up to them and just slashing them isn't anything special, which is what it looks like. but jason, even though he never talked, he had like stratagy for killing each one. and he used the element of "surprise" to make it happen. running and chasing seems to limit what they can do, as far as making the killings creative

[EnderDeschain]

He doesn't necessarily have to slow-stalk them to surprise them. Maybe if there's a couple examples of quickness like the one in the trailer where he runs up to **** that chick's **** up, but also times when he just kind of pops up. Say there's a scene with some dumb ***** running and we see Jason running behind her, but a ways off. The camera angle shifts and shows her running from behind for a good few seconds, and suddenly Jason runs (runs!) out from the frame sorta off to her side and football tackles her while ramming his machete through her gut. She lands, gurgles a bit and looks down at the machete protruding from her stomach while Jason gets up with a body language that's somehow stiff and lithe at the same time, then just stands there looking at her a second. Then he pulls out the machete and shoves it through her a few more times, sorta like he did with the dude in the bed in Freddy Vs Jason. I think Kirzinger sorta approached that in FVJ, the kind of movement that I'd like to see. Fast Jason is different but that doesn't have to be bad, in fact I think it can work better if they do it right.

[jbailey84]

the trailer looked alright. i noticed some set ups from the past F13 films so thats a little let down. i'll still see this being a big Jason fan. hope the second trailer will be better.

[SnoBorderZero]

Trailer was pretty disappointing, looks like it's going to suffer from the same problems slashers today do. They had some nice nods to the previous installments right down to similar kills, but this trailer showed too much.

[DAN!]

i don't think a lot of todays slasher films are that good. Although i didn't see the whole thing, i thought the first 2 kills in Jason X were pretty cool, though i can't remember exactly what happend.

the most recent one i saw, prom night, was down right terrible. Every victim kills the exact same way. and you didn't even see it happen.

[SnoBorderZero]

Slashers have lost even the fun aspect of them since the '80s.

[steintym]

I really liked the trailer and the poster. The movie looks like it will have some cool links to the original series, although I hope some surprises will still exist. The trailer did seem to show quite a bit.

Am I the only one that thinks the "Welcome to Crystal Lake" in the poster is cool?

[cincyfan987]

This is to everyone that's upset that Jason is running in the trailer. Jason DID run in the earlier F13th movies (ex. part 2, part 3). It wasnt until Jason Lives I think is when he started stalking his victims with his slow walk. If they are rebooting this franchise doesnt it make since to include all aspects of it including the sack head and him running? I think the trailer looks great. The only thing that wasnt was the countdown thing but I loved Mrs. Vorhees saying that today was his b-day. Also the TCM remake was awesome!! Loved it! The original sucked. Same goes for F13th. Jason lives-Manhattan was the only ones worth watching. Im rooting for Crispin Glover as the new freddy!

[SnoBorderZero]

The original (to me) was the best of the series followed closely by Jason Lives. Let's not kid ourselves here, the other 8 movies are pretty mediocre, but also undeniably entertaining. Jason Takes Manhattan is TERRIBLE, yet if it's on TV I'll always watch it, especially for that catchy opening tune. Plus the Times Square scenes are pretty cool.

[jbailey84]

Jason Lives i think is the best, being my favorite. part 5 wasnt too bad considering it wasnt Jason, just a guy getting revenge dressing up as Jason. had a cool twist to it.

but Jason Takes Manhattan, sucked big time.

[JT3294]

I love the Jason running thing. Lets face it... Jason was scary because he was so "I'm gonna f**king get you anyway" confident... but in the realistic style reboots and modern running zombie times, it makes more sense.

Think about it. If Jason was stalking me and walking, I COULD get away. I'd just keep running and whatever it's all cool. It'd be creepy but you'd be ok.

NOW... if Jason was running after me... I'd be f**king TERRIFIED!!! I'd scream like a school girl in terror.

[JT3294]

well, gee, now that I've seen the first movie in my cinema genres class, rather than having just read about the movies and character extensively, I guess I'm allowed to comment...

Maybe you should look into another field other than film? My thought is it ain't your alley. It ain't even your zip code.

[carnage4u]

Slashers have lost even the fun aspect of them since the '80s.

i would say they became less fun with PG-30 rating

there are still good slasher flics now and then

It was up till Part 4, where he moved fairly quickly.. Part 6 is where he slows down - old age maybe? :)

[Reel Boi]

I love the trailer and poster..it defenity makes the movie look promising so let's just hope it is. Can't wait to see how it turns out this time around! :)

[SnoBorderZero]

Well the TV spots they've been running certainly don't reassure me that the movie will be any good, but it does look like it'll at least be worthy of the series. Plus it can't be as bad as the last 4 installments in the series, right?

[Matrix_Fan]

I certainly hope not. I don't think I can take another Jason Takes Manhattan. I just hope that this film is a gory good time.

[SnoBorderZero]

I'm sure it will be, I guess I was just hoping for another Jason Lives-esque revival, but it doesn't appear that way. I'll still see it and probably enjoy it for what it is, but still I'm a little disappointed at how it appears to have turned out after a solid first couple of trailers.

[Matrix_Fan]

Yeah, Jason Lives was quite enjoyable. I'm not really surprised to see that this film is going to be serious, much like the company's other horror remakes, but I see what you mean. I would like the film to be injected with some intentional humor, but unless Jason comes back as a decomposing zombie like Lives, I don't see it happening.

[Bounty]

Hey everyone. I'm new to the threads. I'm a big movie fan overall and just started searching out forums like this to discuss movies.

I'm particularly a big fan of the Friday the 13th films! I'm very excited about the new movie and some friends and I have started re-watching all the previous films in anticipation of the new film.

We work on a podcast called Now Playing (nowplayingpodcast.com) and started series of shows that review each Jason movie from the original Friday the 13th to Freddy vs. Jason. This has been a lot of fun!

I can't wait to check out all the threads here to talk about all the other movies I love and enjoy!

Thanks!

[LegendaryU2K]

Is there more sex scenes in these new horror movies, or less?

[ZombieMan]

^^^ Seems like less to me.

[Darth Maul]

This movie looks like fun, i liked the chainsaw remake, this looks good too. I like the look to this film.

[LukeHorror14]

This movie is going to be good, I'm a fan of friday the 13th series and the worst ones were: Jason Goes To Hell, and Jason X.

[andyroar]

Really looking forward to this. I grew up with the franchise and saw the original when it first came to theatres many moons ago. Can anyone remember Friday 13th 3D? The is an eye popping out gag in the movie when Jason crushes a guys head and this looked quite cool in 3D at the time. Its just been re done with a variation in My Bloody Valentine 3D.

Anyway, back to the re-make I like the fast attacks from Jason and I think a touch of modernising will improve the cannon. Bring it on!!!

[Escape]

This movie is going to be good, I'm a fan of friday the 13th series and the worst ones were: Jason Goes To Hell, and Jason X.
LukeHorror, how about resizing that annoying gigantic 'Friday The 13th' pic of yours. I honestly doubt anyone is going to care about a picture that extends a mile across thier screens. I have a 22 inch widescreen monitor and I still have to scroll 60% more accross just to see it all. It fu*ks up the entire page as well.

So either:

A) You didn't realize yourself how big it was and you never checked to make sure all is well after you hit the 'post' button.

B) You just don't care about the other viewer's comfort on here.


Anyways, since I don't know you, I'm going to go with A for now.

[steintym]

^^ That huge picture made my eyes blur :funny:


Anyway, I've started re-watching the series starting back at Part 1. Now I'm even more excited about running Jason, the sack as a mask, etc. I remembered the old movies, but I guess I kind of forgot how radically different "zombie Jason" was from the earlier movies.

[camp blood]

Hey guys, i just wanted to get the opinion of a few of my fellow F13 fans.

i am buying a Jason mask replica and i want to ask your guys which ones you think are coolest. so far i am buying the "FvsJ version 1" mask ( the last five are just custom designs)
*edit*
they are kind of pricey the one i'm buying is 175 bucks and the custom straps i want are 30 dollars but so far these are THE best replica masks i have ever scene

I liked "zombie Jason" in Part 6 because it was the only time they poked fun at their own material, but after that 7-10 were all the worst of the series.

[steintym]

I can appreciate all of the movies for what they are, but I've always found 1-4 the be the best run. Watching them again really makes me prefer hillbilly, human Jason versus zombie Jason.

Watched a behind the scenes recently and the director for Pt.6 was really going for some humor. He got a real kick out of adding some laughs (some really lame).

Pretty awesome choice. My first preference would be one of the Part 4 masks, though. That might be my favorite movie with the mask.

[camp blood]

i was eye those but i got kind of a melon head. and to me the vs is the happy medium because its shape looks like it might fit better. its a comfort thing but still i want to hear what you guys got to say

you can see that this is narrower

thanks man. i was told i got a big head my entire adult life.

what sucks balls is that i'm getting the mask 2 weeks AFTER the new friday comes out i just hope the make a sequel

[sandman822]

i have a slight interest in this. normally i would just dvd this but i mite just go see it for the transformers 2 trailer. lol

[jbailey84]

thanks man. i was told i got a big head my entire adult life.

[camp blood]

neither can i this has been dream of mine since i got into F13th back in junior high. for a while i will probably just sit around wearing it for no reason. maybe wear it as i sharpen my machete ha ha ha. but i do own a machete, you'll see in the pics i post.

[steintym]

Unless it's a complete bomb (which I don't anticipate) I think we'll have some sequels coming along. I'd be really surprised if that wasn't part of the plan.

[EnderDeschain]

I was just at WalMart today buying The Secret Life Of Bees (haha I couldn't help saying that in the horror forum) and I saw a sort of documentary-looking thing called His Name Was Jason. The front says something like "examining 30 years of Friday the 13th" or similar. I thought awesome, but then when I started reading the back I realized it sounds a whole lot like the special feature documentaries that were included in the 1 through 8 DVD set From Crystal Lake To Manhattan that came out around 2005. I already have that, and have already seen it all. So does anyone know if this His Name Was Jason thing is different stuff, at least? All the interviewees it listed on the back were on the DVD set, but if they're new interviews with different stuff I wanna see it anyway. I realize that probably no one's gonna answer me and I'm just gonna buy it tomorrow and find out for myself because I'm incredibly impatient and lazy when it comes to looking up stuff, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

And if the new one does so much as break even, you can pretty much guarantee sequels.

[sandman822]

does anyone know what this is guna be rated?

im kind of hoping for a pg 13. Now of course they can do more ***** in an R but i always feel like especially in the horror genre when its R they add a whole bunch of unneeded sex scenes. Now dont get me wrong, those can be some pretty great scenes but sometimes it just brings down the movie. idk.

does anyone know what it will be rated?

[JT3294]

You're 12 aren't you?

[sandman822]

You're 12 aren't you?

yeah. im 12.

where do you get this? im 17. im justsaying sometimes they add those scenes just to have them. i dont need to see sex scenes in every horror movie. if thats what you need its a good thing you have a computer.

[EnderDeschain]

People's objection to the PG-13 rating isn't because of the sex scene stuff. It's because of the limitations on what you can do with graphic violence. If you removed the AWESOME nudity from the new My Bloody Valentine, you'd still have an R-rated movie. And it would still be awesome. But if you removed all the excessively gory stuff and made it PG-13, it wouldn't be awesome at all, with or without the nudity.

Basically, if your problem is sex scenes, then you should say "they should leave the sex scenes out." By saying you'd want it to be PG-13, you immediately raise the hackles of any horror fan who's ready for some old-school vicious gory **** and, resultantly, get accused of being twelve.

[Where's my elephant?]

I just got the opening day tickets for what will be only my 2nd visit to the legendary Grauman's Chinese in Hollywood. Nothing like seeing the man behind the mask in that classic landmark.

I'm so excited. :D

[Markus Corvinus]

Will be seeing this opening day, no doubt. Can't wait to see Jason in all his glory!

[sandman822]

thats what i meant. I was just saying that they dont need those scenes in this kind of movie.

I did see my bloody valentine but thats a diff type of movie than friday the 13th. My bloody valentinekind of needed the sex scenes. or better yet its not like they went out of the way to add them.

ex: freddy vs. Jason. sex scenes not needed. they just seem to add them to have them.

idk, poinless rant. still wondering what it is going to be rated though....

[BlackCyborg]

I am pretty positive that it has already been given an R rating for:

"strong bloody violence, some graphic sexual content, language and drug material."

[Markus Corvinus]

Lol @ people ranting about the nudity in horror movies...horror movies aren't really complete without some sort of sexual and/or drug content.

[JT3294]

I'll never understand why America has this addiction to seeing heads blow up or cars on fire with a mangled body sticking out the windshield... but have this unwaivering compulsion to censor a ****ing boob. Seriously. :rolleyes:

The same people that go "Ahhhrrrgggggg Sex is bad.... blah blah blarg" are the same ones that rubberneck on the interstate to see if someone is engulfed in flames. Then get disappointed to find it's only a fenderbender.

****ing hypocrites man.

Lol, why can't we have both? Awesome kills and boobs on display? I agree, stop being hypocrites. Btw, what guy doesn't want to see boobage? I think we all know the answer to that one. ;)

[Fun-N-Net]

Oh god I can't wait more. Friday The 13th (http://www.break.com/movie-trailers/friday-the13th-trailer-2.html) is going to be released on 13th Feb. Horror movies make me crazy you know! And this is going to be awesome as it's first part.:lol:

[JT3294]

Lol, why can't we have both? Awesome kills and boobs on display? I agree, stop being hypocrites. Btw, what guy doesn't want to see boobage? I think we all know the answer to that one. ;)

A gay one. Or a Christian one. OR a BOTH one! :eek:

[Dhamon22]

Or a Christian one.

Just because they won't admit it doesn't mean they don't want to see it.

[JT3294]

Hypocrisy FTW!

[camp blood]

its not just sex its bad language . if somebody they say **** and **** and ********* 70 billion times is going get receive an R rating

[JT3294]

It needs a ****ing R rating! It's a ****ing slasher flick!

[JackTourette500]

Friday the 13th released on February 13th we be rated PG-13

[sandman822]

Lol @ people ranting about the nudity in horror movies...horror movies aren't really complete without some sort of sexual and/or drug content.

see. people get this perception that this is what horror movies are about. imo it kind of ruins them. You dont need that to make a good horror movie

and i dont need a f***ing horror movie to see boobs

In response to the question about what was included in "His Name Was Jason", I picked it up and watched it yesterday. The actual documentary was completely new stuff, although some of the stories were repeats from the previous box set. Pretty cool stuff, though. It was interviews with everyone that's played Jason, all of the directors, etc. Some of the stuff I've heard before, but still pretty awesome.

Also, I'm pretty sure the new F13 is rated R. There's a piece in the doc where the new writers are interviewed and they went out of their way to bring some nudity back to horror movies. They definitely were not thrilled with the new trend of PG13 horror flicks. I think I also read that in an interview.

[JT3294]

see. people get this perception that this is what horror movies are about. imo it kind of ruins them. You dont need that to make a good horror movie

and i dont need a f***ing horror movie to see boobs

Boobs ruin horror movies? lol wut?

Nudity has been in the slasher genre as long as slashing has. It's not ruining it... it's part of the genre.

[FranklinTard]

i don't think he understands the usage of sex in horror movies...

[JT3294]

Sex in horror movies is part of the horror format. It's standard.

Watch Scream. Those goofy "rules" are actually ****ing accurate. Those who have sex die. That's part of the ****ing genre dude.

Stick to Disney man. Leave the big dogs to talk Voorhees and the fundamentals of the slasher genre.

[Wolverine]

It needs a ****ing R rating! It's a ****ing slasher flick!

Dude Calm Down the Movie has been Rated R.

[JackTourette500]

This is what pisses me off, Nudity isn't part of the horror genre, infact it's these 'rules' of you must have sex/nudity, must be one clean virgin girl who lives, people killed must be partying teenagers. It gets too plaid out. There's a reason why the Friday the 13th movies stopped getting made. How about Friday the 13th: Part 8's whopping 00% on Rotten Tomatoes?

Those 'goofy rules', presented to the viewers in Scream that are accurate, are also the decline of certain horror series. It gets too predictable and boring. You need a new format or something completely different to grab people's attention and shake up the genre, of course this gets misinterpreted as "Lets make Jason Goes to Hell....and then for the next one we'll put him in space!"

How about they make a Friday the 13th, different from any other one, that doesn't have a set of rules to follow? Or how about any horror movie in general that has come out recently.

Cool, dude, thanks. Coincidentally, I just walked in from WalMart again (yeah, it's like a daily trip for me) with the DVD in hand. I'm glad that it's all new stuff, I'll probably watch it tonight.

And as for this nudity discussion, there's a vital difference between a horror movie and a slasher movie. Slasher movies aren't necessarily horror movies. Sometimes a slasher movie can transcend itself and become a horror flick, but most of the time it's a whole other animal. The slasher movie audience has a mentality that just lends itself to nudity, it's mostly young people out looking to be thrilled and have fun. Which goes hand in hand with nudity. My Bloody Valentine springs to mind again. 90% of it was truly awesome (except the ending, but that's a whole other conversation), and at least 10% of that awesomeness was the OUTSTANDING nude and sex scenes, which were 100% awesome. Add all that up and nudity in horror = 200% awesome. You just can't argue with the math, man.

Wait... are you implying that Friday the 13th bombed eventually because of NUDITY?

You sure it's not cause the plots got absolutely laughable and the acting/writing was atrocious?

You're using too general a term when you say horror. Slasher Horror is different from Suspense Horror, Psychological Horror, Supernatural Horror, etc.

People that go to see SLASHER horrors don't generally go expecting an award winning piece of work.

They go to see blood, guts and boobs with good laughs and some good suspense.

You don't LOSE any quality by putting boobs in there except to people who are anti BOOB in the first ****ing place.

EDIT: Also yeah I totally didn't need to type that as Ender already nailed it... again.

Now you are just twisting my words. What I meant was that some of the rules do not always need to be followed. I certainly don't mind nudity at all in films. But I mean there's so much that the viewing public puts up with before it gets old. Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm St., as great franchise's as they are, they began to get worse and worse, people knew what to expect with each one and didn't bother seeing the latter sequels. If they did we'd be on Nightmare on Elm St. Part 28 by now. Scream flipped the script. The Slasher genre needs something new to keep it fresh, the trend seems to be remakes and that increasingly terrible Saw franchise, but that's only going to last a while.

[jbailey84]

isnt the movie already rated R? :confused:

[sandman822]

i don't think he understands the usage of sex in horror movies...

please explain it to me?

im just saying, its not needed and most of the time it seems to be just put in there to have them.

the next movie should be Jason attacks a rest home :P

[Markus Corvinus]

see. people get this perception that this is what horror movies are about. imo it kind of ruins them. You dont need that to make a good horror movie

and i dont need a f***ing horror movie to see boobs

For one, it'd be best if you calm down, seriously. Second of all, don't try to put words in my mouth. I never said we need to see tits for a horror movie to be good, just that it doesn't matter if they are shown or not. It doesn't make any sense to whine and complain about them showing nudity...it's not that big a deal.

[Matrix_Fan]

the next movie should be Jason attacks a rest home :P

That way, we'll be begging them to NOT have nudity. LOL

[Darth Maul]

ahahahhaahhahaha problem solved!

[Markus Corvinus]

Coming soon...a striptease from an 80 year old woman....

[JT3294]

People keep saying nudity isn't NEEDED. Well neither is the ****ing blood and guts. Texas Chainsaw Massacre was extraordinarily NOT gory. Yet it made a huge impact.

CAN it be done without the gore? Yeah... but that's not what we want anymore. :confused: Same concept with nudity. No it's not needed... but why the hell not throw it in anyway?

[camp blood]

to much nudity would make it stupid and pointless

[Markus Corvinus]

I agree there's a thing as too much nudity, but if they show one or two girls nude, it's not a big deal.

[sandman822]

you need to stop putting words in my mouth. I never came on here saying it was a huge deal. i just said alot of the times it seems they put the sex scenes in just to have a sex scene, when theyre really not needed.

[camp blood]

horror movies have a hard enough time being taken seriously, we don't need more gratuitous nudity to enjoy a horror movie. didn't hostel teach us anything!

[MasterChief117]

I got advanced screening tickets to this film for Tuesday. Really nervous, not big into horror movies but what the hell.

[Matrix_Fan]

Curse you Masterchief! Where did you get those tickets?

[Darth Maul]

damn ur lucky mc117

[MasterChief117]

Curse you Masterchief! Where did you get those tickets?

I get tickets for being a reviewer at AP. This is my third set and probably(not in my fashion) the best tickets. Thus far I have recieved New In Town(Snowed in thankfully), Shopahollics tickets(Mom's surgery) and now these. I'm really nervous, not a big fan at all on these horror movies.

[FranklinTard]

why would that make you nervous? you scared?

[MasterChief117]

Nah, just not a fan of horror movies.

[FranklinTard]

well lets be honest, gotta be better than new in town.

[MasterChief117]

Well, thats the hope.

Because throwing nudity in for the sake of nudity is pointless. People have girlfriends and the internet for that. Pointless nudity just makes the film come off as cheap and B-Movie style. Just like over exaggerated blood and gore would.

Stupid.

...And how is any of this a negative thing?

[JackTourette500]

Stupid.



...And how is any of this a negative thing?

There's two different styles of B Movie, my friend. You've got your Evil Dead series which is classic cheese, overloaded with gore, and is classic.

Then you have the likes of these Straight-To-DVD movies and sequels that are absolute rubbish and the true B movies of this generation. I mean did anyone see "Return to House on Haunted Hill"? Part of the Warner Premiere series? There is loads of bad special effects, pointless gore, and a random lesbian threesome scene that serves no purpose being in the film, and while that scene and a few others are entertaining...it's just a bad movie. There's no need to watch it twice or really watch beyond the half hour mark...

[Justin]

Again.....how is this a negative thing? Does anyone actually take horror movies seriously, anymore? If it's a slasher, it'll instantly be viewed as such. There have been very few legitimately good slasher films before they inevitably nuke the fridge. I, for one, don't take it seriously anymore. I watch them to have a laugh and a good time.

That is all. Feel free to analyze a slasher film, but you're just looking like an idiot.

exactly. "Does anyone actually take horror movies seriously, anymore?"

For reasons like pointless nudity and over exagerrated blood and guts. Just look at feddy vs. jason and even hostel. its the epitome of how bad horror movies are now.

i was hoping diff. for this one, and i think i will be alot better than both hostel and f v. j.

but lets hope its not ruined with pointless nudity and over exagerated blood and guts

[Justin]

That's what these slasher movies like Friday the 13th and Halloween were built around, though. All of them had lots of nudity and extreme violence. If you don't like it, fine, but it makes me wonder whether you've even seen the Friday the 13th series.

And that's what I expect this to be like. I'm looking forward to it. It should be a lot of fun.

[SnoBorderZero]

I think you both bring good points here. I'm with sandman on the idea that the slasher genre has buried itself in its own cliches and stereotypes that were excusable when the genre was fresh. Great slashers like Halloween, Friday the 13th, and A Nightmare on Elm Street all contained nudity, though in the originals I didn't feel any of it was gratuitous. NOW though it's just absurd when a girl simply gets naked just because, hey, it's a slasher movie and there's gotta be nudity. I like naked women as much as the next guy, but when it's pointless and campy, can't we just move on? What made those movies effective wasn't the nudity or the violence, but the atmospheres they created, which is what horror films today have completely lost.

At the same time I understand what Justin's saying. These slashers aren't great movies by any stretch, they're just fun and the nudity and violence is a part of the reason (or maybe THE part) why people pay to see them. If a girl is naked in the movie, it doesn't make the movie bad, what makes it bad is if the movie follows the same cliches that we've all seen time and time again.

I can agree with this. All i said in my original post was I hope this movie does not follow the same cliches. I was hoping for just a really good horror movie. Something opposite f v. j

now all of a sudden im gay

[SnoBorderZero]

And you're right about that, I really hope this is as far from that crap Freddy vs. Jason as possible, though since it's written by the same hacks I doubt it. :/ I don't have high expectations for the movie, but I've seen every F13 film and only with the last 2 in the series not been entertained, so hopefully this one can at least deliver a fun time at the movies.

[camp blood]

i dont mind a little boobage and gore can rain down in buckets for all i care but friday the 13th was never a T&A flick like hostel even freddy vs jason, hell even jason x was better then hostel. have all the gore you want but just tone back on the sex and nudity. i watch friday to see heads roll not boobs jiggle

[BlackCyborg]

Ummm, what movie franchise did you watch? I just went back through the first 3 this past week, and with all three combined there is probably 6 sets of boobs, and 3 or 4 sex scenes, or resemblances of sex scenes. Not to mention 4, 5, and 6 all have more boobs and sex scenes as well. I am guessing you just watched these movies on T.V., because there is no way your statement could be justified in any circumstance. With that said, I do agree that less illogical thrown in nudity is just dumb, but if it makes sense such as a shower, sex scene, or skinny dipping, then it should be in it. Those are F13th trademarks...Jason kills teenagers who have sex etc. So to eliminate it completely just isn't going to happen, nor should it. I say 2 girls seen naked throughout the movie, and a couple of sex scenes couldn't hurt this movie. But it has to be done well, and not just seem thrown in to fill the boob quota so to speak.

[adventhybrid]

i watched the third one in 3d ..... it was crazy ..but not that good

I look like an idiot because I expect some good production value from a movie, of any genre? Look at the original Halloween. It contained everything the modern horror movies do, yet it's a ****ing classic. It's probably one of the better ones, ranked up there with the first two or three Friday the 13th's and Nightmares 1, 3, and 7. When it gets done to death and they realize they have to have it, and it's a staple, it becomes generic and boring. It's the same thing in every movie. Hell half of these Straight-to-DVD -B slasher films don't even use real make up for their gore. They use terrible CGI.

Your argument is that we should settle for what slashers are...which is predictable. Well you can enjoy your Vacancy II, Jason Goes to Hell, Feast 2 and 3, Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare, Halloween 6, Halloween: Ressurection, and of course Prom Night's remake and TCM: The Next Generation. I will wait for the Friday the 13th Remake, see if it's any good. If it is then I'll check out the next. God for bid we should have to settle for something of decent quality within it's own genre, not including all movies together. I am not looking for Citizen Kain when it comes to a slasher flick, but come on. Give it the quality it deserves. Make it fresh.

Bad production value coming from Michael Bay? Come on now. We may not all like him, but poor production value is something that none of us should be expecting.

If anything, it takes a lot to impress me. But with slasher films, I don't expect much. I expect to be entertained, that's all. If I want art, I'll look in the other direction. Even Halloween, as much as I love it, is still a slasher film -- the only difference is that the violence and sex isn't as extreme. And the film being directed by John Carpenter doesn't hurt either.

One could argue that the overall quality of film has decreased considerably in every genre. Slasher films aren't the sole genre being hurt right now. For ever straight-to-DVD slasher film we have, we usually get a reasonably well-made one that entertains us. You just need to look in the right places.

The last mistake you are making is thinking that violence and sex are ruining the genre and cheapening it -- it just isn't true. The genre was never about sophistication to begin with. We just don't have people like John Carpenter directing them anymore.

I never mentioned I was expecting bad production value from Michael Bay of all people, despite being quite the ****ty director. I am not blaming it on violence and sex in movies, that is what makes up 99% of these films. But for that extra 1%, can't we have something new? Something different? Something that separates this film from any other film? The reason we don't have people like John Carpenter anymore is because film quality in general is declining, like you mentioned. It's becoming more about cashing in to make money and less about artistic vision, good writing, and good direction. Originality has become too rare in the business.

[JT3294]

I'm just getting a great laugh out of Sandman, Jack and camp getting their panties in a bunch because of "boobies".

I'm saying the blood and guts are not necessary in slashers either... see Texas Chainsaw Massacre... or Last House on the Left.

Point is... gore is just as pointless as the nudity . :confused:

But the gore and nudity don't take anything away because these movies are NOT TCM and LHotL. They are slashers... slashers are not TCM and LHotL.

Seriously... that comment about me being a prude is laughable... you clearly don't know what the **** a prude IS.

You 3 are pathetic... grow a set of balls and realize that nudity is no big deal. Terrible disgusting violence is ok with you guys... but tits are not? That's grade A retarded bull****.

[Darth Maul]

I think gore makes a horror movie sometimes, for instance, Me and Matrix watched The Blob 1988 version. Crappy as hell but fun to watch because of all the gory scenes.

[Matrix_Fan]

I think gore makes a horror movie sometimes

I agree. For me, I think in terms of horror, the thing that most of the time matters to me is the splatter effects. Sure, I think suspense, genuine shock, and strong performances can add to the proceedings, but nothing makes a horror film more satisfying then watching a stupid teen get his/her head whacked off by a masked killer. :hehe:

[Darth Maul]

or a blob absorbing them lol

....you are the biggest moron of a poster to ever grace this board. No one said Nudity was bad, but pointless nudity brings a movie down.

What about that scene in The Godfather where Marlon Brando randomly pulled his pants down to show his johnson?

You are trying to make the issue something it's not, if you proposed a reasonable, intelligent argument like JustinW did then I would actually take your post seriously. I certainly don't mind topless scenes...especially that one of Mimi Rogers completely nude in The Rapture :redface: But when they're just there to be there, it makes the film look dumb.

Well, being a "****ty" director is separate from having great production value.

Anyway, originality has declined over the past few years, I'll agree. But what I'm seeing is that you hate how cliche they've become, which is fine. However, this is different from just wanting a quality film. Whether or not Friday the 13th is "fresh" and "original" will be up to each of us to decide, but these are two distinctly different things. Friday the 13th may end up being a repeat of the same formula we've seen hundreds of times, but if the vision is there and it's entertaining and lastly, if it doesn't look like a cheap straight-to-DVD-movie -- I'll be satisfied. I doubt it will look cheap considering the calibre producers.

Originality does not just "come about", though. We may see an "original" piece every 10 years, but I find it better that way. It makes it that much more special. But, what many see as original, however, was likely done before. It is nice to see something "different" every now and then, but everything carries properties that resemble another.

Now, I'll agree that money has taken priority over artistry, but this is an industry, first and foremost. You said it yourself: it is a "business". Films are a product like soap is a product. What doesn't sell will most likely not make it anywhere.

[camp blood]

one thing i am gonna say is he may not be kane hodder but this guy they got to be jason looks great, i mean top notch. does he have red hair in the movie?. i'm just wondering how they will transition to zombie jason later on. and if they will bring in tommy jarvis and all that jazz

[Markus Corvinus]

Are there any clear pics of Jason anywhere?

[DAN!]

yeah, on the poster

[Ramplate]

I agree with a lot of the opinions here - They have to find some way of breaking out of the cliches in order to remake any slasher movie nowadays.
Do something different and unexpected and then I'll sit up and take notice.

....you are the biggest moron of a poster to ever grace this board. No one said Nudity was bad, but pointless nudity brings a movie down.

Yeah.. you'd know... cause my participation in the Friday the 13th thread really stands as a shining example to EVERY thread I post in... that's assuming you were right... which you're not. You're wrong... the opposite of right... for right... see: Me.

What about that scene in The Godfather where Marlon Brando randomly pulled his pants down to show his johnson?

That has to be one of the most retarded ****ing analogies I've ever seen to compare The Godfather to a slasher film. Thank you for proving my above point without drawing much effort from me.

You are trying to make the issue something it's not, if you proposed a reasonable, intelligent argument like JustinW did then I would actually take your post seriously. I certainly don't mind topless scenes...especially that one of Mimi Rogers completely nude in The Rapture :redface: But when they're just there to be there, it makes the film look dumb.

Justin and I are two of a handful of the smart posters here... we have a different way of doing things. I don't have the patience for stupid people like you... he has a bit more patience.

We're talking slashers and YOU'RE mentioning The ****ing Godfather and The Rapture... seriously... thank you.
