As opposed to films today where I can't figure out why these people are even hanging with each other. Take a film like Cabin Fever. Other than Jordan Ladd and Rider Strong, I don't see how any of them would even be on vacation together. They seemed to hate each other. And that seems to be what we are seeing with horror films today versus the horror films of the late 70s-80s. In those films, the kids were mischievous, but it was playful pranks on one another.

Sorry to turn this into a rant if it's seen that way. This is just one of those peeves I have.

Cheers,

Jason

Re: "Friday the 13th PART 11"!! Friday October 13th!

I should mention that, generally speaking, I do like to care about the victims in horror films. It's always been that way with me and I think it helps to make the movies more horrific when we come to care about the people. This is for almost all other horror movies and me.

BUT - with the FRIDAY THE 13TH series (the sequels mainly) I used to approach it a little differently. This was a chance where I wouldn't go to the movies for anything other than to see Jason dispatch his victims. I was a teenager myself in 1981 when I saw PART 2, and from then on it became a regular event with my friends to go and see the newest sequel on the premiere night. In the audience along with us would be other "diehards" (sometimes a couple of people we'd see in the theater would wear hockey masks), and the fans actually would applaud and cheer Jason on, most of the time. We went to see what weapons Jason would use to deal death this time, and we wanted to see how Jason would be brought back. It was a chance to check our brains at the door and just have fun. The teens were basically expendable target practice to us, but at times when we came to care about one of them here and there, that was fine too.

The experience for me on opening night was like going to THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW at midnight, with the audience getting into it.

Re: "Friday the 13th PART 11"!! Friday October 13th!

Joe, your point is taken well. I feel the same way about Jason and definitely want to see him bring on the pain. However I also want to like the characters because it is in their exchanges with one another that the majority of the runtime exists. One of the reasons I enjoyed Adam Green's Hatchet so much is because of his main characters and their banter back and forth. They were clearly great friends and it made the film so enjoyable. I also loved Victor tearing everyone apart in increasingly gruesome gags, but the mainstay of the film was the heart and friendship of the main pair.

I have to run now or I'd write more. Maybe another time.

Cheers,

Jason

Well, in the new film I wouldn't mind getting to know and care about the characters.

Re: "Friday the 13th PART 11"!! Friday October 13th!

Eventhough it's contradictory, I root for Jason but I also want to like his victims too. Most of the characters in the first few Friday The 13th movies are generally likable but many of the supporting characters in Part V, Part VII and Part VIII (which I think are the three worst of the Paramount Fridays) are just assholes. At least if I like a character, I can enjoy watching their non-death scenes where the movie attempts to build a character. The non-death scenes with asshole characters are just annoying.

Yes, I realize that I've given Friday The 13th movies waaaaaaaay more thought than the people who made them probably ever did.

Re: "Friday the 13th PART 11"!! Friday October 13th!

I'll echo the sentiments of Travis here.

I think a big part of Friday the 13th's allure are the creative kills. I know that the original Friday the 13th had people talking about Savin's FX work as though they were some sort of magic trick. And they are!

But, that said, I don't think I've ever ROOTED for Jason. I want to be afraid of him. And with the exception of Friday 5, I don't think the first six films had very many annoying characters. I liked the vast majority of them.

It actually wasn't until Jason x and FvJ that the machete fodder became close to intolerable for me.

So, I hope this new film is a real return to form for Jason and his victims. I want gory and nasty kills, but I also hope I like the victims!

Nice trailer, they showed a bit too much, though.

Still, it was awesome to see Jason Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
running again!


Brian, let us know what you think of the other films.

Did anyone else hear that sound? It sounded an aweful lot like a can of worms being opened.

Cool news, hopefully a Blu-ray release will coincide with the DVD release.

Re: "Friday the 13th PART 11"!! Friday October 13th!

It's gonna get messy. Lots of blood gonna be spilt before Friday February the 13th 2009, that's for sure.

I'm most excited for an uncut Friday the 13th Part V A New Beginning, oh and Part VII The New Blood. I reckon we'll have more of a chance of a uncensored Psycho before that lots makes it out unscathed.

Re: "Friday the 13th PART 11"!! Friday October 13th!

Oh yes indeed, it's gonna get messy, I still have blood stains on my cloths from the last thread that talked about the possibility of getting these uncut.

I'm preparing for the worst in that we will once again be getting the theatrical cuts of the films.

Geena Davis said it best in The Fly...

"Be afraid. Be very afraid."

Seriously this was, and most likely still is, a very touchy subject for Friday fans, when the news hit that the Friday the 13th Ultimate DVD Collection would be the R rated cuts...it wasn't pretty.

No one wants the uncut versions of the F13 movies as much as me but I'd real surprised if it happened... and extremely happy.

I still have the original dvd's of 108 and did not bother with the box set. The only way I will buy a box set is if the films are uncut.

Paramount's other attempt at a proper F13 set was really half-ass. I hope they do a better job next time.

Re: "Friday the 13th PART 11"!! Friday October 13th!

I bought the box set (and New Line films) last year which replaced the one and only VHS I had (of the original film). It was the highlight of my October viewing watching all those. I love most of these films.

I'd probably rebuy the original, and maybe 1st sequel, for some extra gory bits...but not the rest. Even so, I find most of them entertaining as is.

Happy Birthday to Harry Crosby, btw. One of the kids from F13th.

And I love the new logo.
