Another generic slasher flick.

Probably something comparable to the original Halloween in how timeless it is. Few if any stupid, completely unlikable teenagers. Police that are for the most part competent. The perfect moody summer night setting with realistic town atmosphere. I would probably split the Mother origin and years later with Jason story into two movies like Grindhouse. Or just make the Mother part an hour with the Jason part a bit longer. An hour and a half or so. I would take inspiration from my favorite ones like Part 2 and 6. But not forget the horror fans get it humor in others like Part 8 and X. I'm talking mostly the kills. I would just make a real slasher movie that would be taken seriously like Carpenter set out to do with Halloween I believe. At least he talked about Hitchcock a bit and there are references in Halloween.

That's more of what would make a good Friday the 13th movie. None of them are like what you described.

::big grin::

F13 does get it right, only it's a semi-collective effort. Take a chunk from each of the first THREE films, sprinkle in some of the humor of Jason Lives, and voila!

I'm talking about a complete movie, not cherry-picking the parts that do work.

It makes me angry to think that the F13 remake cherry-picked and still couldn't get it right.

Can't argue with that.

You're right. I misread and got ahead of myself. Only Part 6 to me is a real good Friday the 13th movie. I like Part 2 but I think the hockey mask is just iconic. And Part 2 has some really questionable elements with stupid kids, dumb cop and story, etc.

But I did come up with a good idea for a Friday the 13th movie. Something that could make the setting and movie's story realistic for sequels too. It hasn't been tried before either. I'm going to keep it to myself though. I like it and want to think about it a bit more.

Jason porn?

Which will hit first the F13 movie or the tv series? I'm amped for the tv adaptation.

I think a found footage F13 could be cool. I'd be interested to see how they take on a slasher film using found footage, since I don't recall ever really seeing that. Could be pretty interesting. Will probably be disappointing, but you never know.
