Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the blue hell out of FvJ and BoC. It doesn't get much better than when Jason storms the cornfield rave, slicing and fucking dicing. First class Jason Voorhees. But I don't understand some things about Yu's approach to these classic horror icons. Opening and closing the films, or orchestrating fight scenes with death metal. Everybody's smoking pot all the fucking time. Maybe it's just his attempt to bring the characters into the 21st century, surrounding them with pot and Slipknot. Whatever the case, too much change and "updating" to a classic horror franchise irritates me. As far as the characters, they were spot on. Chucky was still Chucky in BoC. Jason was as great as ever. But the story and setting surrounding them made both films feel... cheaper.
