Haven't heard any talk of a sequel yet.

With that being said, it's F13, of course there'll be several sequels
That and they left it wide open for anther one

I haven't seen the remake yet, but it has to be coming out fairly soon. I have watched a preview of it, and i am expecting big things.

I saw this remake last night at the movies, and it rocked. Always been a huge Jason fan and this is a good remake.

Feel`s a little bit weird since it is a remake, a mix of the movies.. and all the previous deeds and killings has been undone. It all starts over you know.. Guess after being in space and all that bs its hard to make a good sequel.

But anyways good remake, money well spent. All the orginal ingredients from dumb broads flashing their tits and a sexfreakingeak loner to the black guy that comes with some racial comments. You all know the deal:P Them bitches gets what coming to em:cool:

Classic slashermovie to say the least. Thumbs up.

I also loved it.

The Friday series is my favorite horror series of all time. It's not the *best*, mind you, but it's my favorite. Friday the 13th part 5 was the earliest one I remember watching when I was 6 years old and by the time I got to college I owned all of them, watched them almost every day, and to this day I still fall asleep to a Friday movie multiple times a month.

Other than the 1st one and possibly the 4th, it's the best made movie out of all of them. It seems like the director went to great lengths to make Jason actually look scary again, and I really appreciated that (The shot of him on top of the house, and the shot of his shadow behind the girl in the tent were just amazing shots to me).

It really feels like the sequel that should have been part 3...and if you think of it like an alternate split universe or something, it could totally fit right there.
One thing I noticed that was probably un-intentional....there was a wheelchair in the den. If you think of this like the unmade part 3, that could totally be the wheelchair of the guy he killed in part 2. ;)

Overall, I'll be buying it the day it comes out and adding it into my rotation with all of my other Jason movies.

-D

Just witnessed it. Some spoilers ahead.

There were some "fun" parts. But it was a bit sparse on the big guy. The first 15 or so minutes I felt were unnecessary, pretty much everyone knows about his mother, and the kids around the campfire told the story again anyway. Jason kidnapping a girl seemed like it wasn't needed either. And I agree with Rod about the out-of-focus stuff. I do wish there were more body discoveries too, those were my favorite parts of the old movies, when the survivors happened upon one of their friends. Better than Jason Takes Manhattan, Jason Goes To Hell, and Jason X. But nowhere near as good as Jason Lives and the prior.

4.5/10

P.S.: Was the old "She's dead!" woman supposed to be the new Crazy Ralph?

I thought it was all right. I liked that it didn't take itself too seriously and had fun with some standard horror cliches. I felt that this version of Jason was a very different killer than the previous movies. He seemed more intense and like he was making a bigger effort to get his kills. I'm used to seeing Jason walk after his victims instead of running. I liked that they put a little bit of a different spin on his character for the remake.

I thought the beginning with Mrs. Vorrhees was unneccesary but I actually kind of liked the extended intro with the group of campers. I've gotten used to intros being a 5 minute or less clip so once in awhile I like to see a movie stray from the standard formula.

All in all, it was a fun watch. Not quite worth the $9.25 ticket price, and it's certainly no work of horror genius but I did enjoy myself.

The BO loves it alright...it has broken the record...


Warner Bros./New Line’s redo “Friday the 13th” scared up the best opening ever for a horror movie in grossing an estimated $42.2 million from 3,105 theaters through Sunday.

Film, breathing new life into the classic franchise, is on its way to posting the best four-day holiday gross ever for a R-rated pic. Studios will report four-day numbers for President’s Day weekend on Monday.

Paramount is a partner on “Friday,” which was produced by Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes. Production budget was $19 million, meaning the film recouped those costs in its first day in release (Friday’s gross was $19.4 million.

Surely...there will be at least another one within 2 or 3 years.

Funny thing is many people "remember" that from him, myself included, while it was not the case before part VI!

It bugged me more that he could rig up an underground tunnel fixed up with lights and all.

heh, well.... if I would have been a deranged psycho who spent most of his life in them woods I also would have tried to manage to build an underground system of some sort:D maybe even some outpost/hideouts in the trees?:rolleyes:

gotta do something with the days you aint killing and all:P

Well, he did practice archery, wax his chest, and probably got into that weed plant a little.

SERIOUSLY!

My BIGGEST complaint is the one that makes me feel like I'm getting OLD... I had a difficult time seeing the action at times with the dim lighting and the shaky cam (the beginning was particularly bad).

I'll give it one thing, though - The pacing was fabulous. Frenetic. Blood-thirsty... But I felt as though it couldn't keep up the momentum. When it came down to it, I thought the movie was flat and anticlimactic. And horror movies should be everything BUT that.



That really bugged me to. A lot. It seemed so out of Jason's character to become a deranged packrat.

Also...



SPOILERS




Kidnapping the sister seemed WAY out of character to the point of seriously pissing me off. It was as they they were attempting to channel the Halloween remake. At least Michael Myers actually HAD lineage. They faked it for Jason.





[/SPOILERS]

This underground tunnel thing keeps being mentioned, I thought that at the start of the movie there was mention of the GPS and some old mines in the area, which would account for the tunnels etc.

And the ending... Spoilers.

When they throw Jason in the water at the end his mask is off, strap broken (I'm pretty sure) and all. But two seconds later when he bursts through the dock the mask is back on.

I also didn't like the way he got the hockey mask. It was just there.

I recon, that is what borthered me a little bit aswell.. "hey" a hockey mask just lying there dusty on a attic, "fuck it, why not wear it for alittle while"

damnit, The most famous mask ever! hehe.. found in a dusty old attic! Oh well, guess its OK that way rather then if it should flame up like a awesome gift from the horror gods.

haha :D indeed

I'm really bewildered by how over analytical people are being about this flick :rolleyes:

Its just junk food for the brain its not meant to be taken this seriously.

This.
Friday movies have never been high art.

They've never been like Halloween, for example, which actually is a legitimately awesome movie. Or the Thing or Suspiria or something.

They are, and always have been, shit movies...

But they are fun shit movies and that is why they are so popular.

I've been thinking about it, he really shouldn't have taken a hostage. I didn't mind at first, but it's kinda starting to bother me. It's not ruining my day, I'm just switching sides on the hostage/no hostage issue.(if it ever was an issue)

I enjoyed it, it was better then the original in my opinion. The only thing i didn't like about it---it was too predictable for me because i called it that Clay and his sister would survive in the end and i knew Whitney was still alive and being held by Jason---i was so right and i didn't read any spoilers

But you have just wrote down one! You dumb.:mad:

I actually enjoyed this movie.I went in not expecting much and I had blast.

I'm with Elvis on the wish people would stop nit picking every little thing about it.

well it was the first two things i predicted when i was in the threatre. I told my girlfriend, i bet her Clay and Whitney are the only survivors and everyone else dies. I also said that as soon Clay showed up at that old lady's door step, i bet Whitney is still alive and is being held by Jason or something. I was right

i predicted more but i didn't make it a big deal because the Clay and Whitney story was the only characters that interested me in the movie along with the new badass Jason.

Ok, you don't seem to understand what roshiq was talking about. Next time, before giving away stuff from a movie that might infuriate those that have not seen it, please do the following :

SPOILERS AHEAD :

bla bla bla

Many people really don't like reading about stuff from a movie they haven't seen without any warning

Dude, please. Why would you write about who survives?
Some people like to go see movies for themselves

What? Would you rather him steal it from a museum or something? Run out onto the ice of a hockey game and machete all the players to death while slamming the puck into the net with his blade, then stealing the mask off the goalie?


Actually, that last one sounds kinda cool.

Vouch for that last one.

I agree with this (spoiler tags are always good just in case, imo), but seriously...why in the world would you click on the Friday thread after the movie has come out a whole week ago?

Seek out non-spoiler reviews, fercrissakes, because it is inevitable that discussion ABOUT the movie is going to happen. Clicking on the thread is gonna get you spoiled....

Be smarter about what you click on if you are that sensitive to spoilers about the film.

No. As with parts 3 and 8 he gets it off somebody. Here it just happens to be in the same room as a guy he killed.

I musta missed that what was it...


But as most said the film did exactly what it said on the tin. Its not like F13 was ever that great fucking master piece.

Didn't he get it off a boat originally? I kinda thought they would've done the same thing in this one.. I was waiting for it and then I was totally confused when he picked it up in the shed.

Nope - go watch #3.

OH! I was thinking of the beginning of part 8. Wonder why he didn't just pick it up in the barn then in the new one? weird.

EDIT:
Thought of something else that bothered me...

Why does it show him having a bedroom in a house at crystal lake? He went to camp there, he didn't LIVE there. wtf. That was pretty stupid. Where are the cabin bunks?

They did it like that to show that's where jason stayed when he went to camp there. If they just showed a bunch of cabin bunks then it woulda just looked like an ordinary room.

Dialogue reference-- to Dennis Hopper's line in Blue Velvet: "Heinekin? Fuck that shit!! Pabst Blue Ribbon!"

In the early scenes of F13, there is a comment about beer that is a slight modification of this line.

I was not talking about me, seen this already. Just wanted to clarify it for this person, since she did not seem to understand what this roshiq fella was referring to. I mean, not only did she respond by saying "oh well, I had guessed it from the beginning", but then she added some new spoilers hahaha! As far as coming here, well, some just want to get a feel for a new movies, general comments, good or bad, etc.

And it sure isn't a remake, is it? Since it "flashes back" to the previous events and doesn't establish them, this is really--technically--just another sequel.

When I say I really wanted to see camp counselors, I mean that seeing the original first movie, re-created with a bigger budget, might have been a lot of fun, too.

I would be happy to see more Friday films with better endings. All the films are corny, but the ending to 4,5, and all of them really besides #1 totally kill what little the film had to work with.

I thought this was one of the better remakes or a sequel. What i didn't like was the ending. It was just there to make the audience jump, like have Jason come up from the dock and grab Whitney. I didn't surprise me because i knew it was coming.

The ending didn't make sense, Jason's mask was floating to the bottom. The strap was broken and then 2 seconds later, he jumps up and grabs whitney
