Partly cause I hate you but mostly because i can’t read or write.

I do disagree that it was stereotypical and predictable, if you think it wasn’t, then I don’t really know where you are coming from on that. Either way, like I said to Matt (Dong) above…I DIDNT HATE IT, it was fun stuff…I just wanted to write about the ending and how I wish they would have played it out with Seinfeldian comedy instead. Thanks for reading and replying man.

What I found interesting and maybe even “new” in this movie is that they didn’t try to explore the Friday story through the now standard- darker. more realistic, grittier lens but instead just completely over shot the stereotypes, and predicable characters to the point where it wasn’t quite as predicable.

It was cheese, but I guess not the type of cheese i prefer. I didn’t hate it, it was fun, and I might see it again. Thanks for commenting!!!

Darren – Thanks for commenting. Thanks, glad you love my ending, I should send it to NEWLINE and ask them to shoot it for the DVD…heh. Anyway, I was trying to make it pretty clear that I judge horror (as well as all genres and films themselves) on a separate scale. ART IS NOT RELATIVE, NOR IS ENTERTAINMENT. So I totally agree with you, and I never expect Citizen Kane from anything…except of course…Citizen Kane. The first half of this column was just me trying to justify being on the side of ULTRA CHEESY 80’S HORROR FRANCHISE SEQUELS that are soaked in past references and comedy…It wasn’t a slam against the new Friday, it was more just a slam against people for not enjoying when the filmmakers themselves are laughing it up. Thanks for reading darren.

Secondly, I loved the movie for the fact that it was a total cheese fest. Oh sure it played fast and loose with Jason what with the lair from hell and the archery champ skills and all but it was Jason, hockey mask, machete, dead teens, tits, blood and screams. What else did people expect from this film? Citizen Kane?

Just to answer something Dong pointed out (Dong? Seriously?), the token black guy, for me at least, started out as antagonistic, he played the race card far too often but fuck was he ever funny! I mean, trying to jerk off whilst high to a winter knitwear catalogue? Genius!
The rest of the characters (and I use the word very loosely!) were 2 dimensional at best. Well…apart from the girls…they had their, erm, good points!
It was a good movie to watch on a friday night right before I went for a few beers. In fact the only reason I went was because I have such a love of horror films in general and the Friday the 13th franchise in particular and I knew it was gonna be a cheese fest of epic proportions!
Any film that has a hockey masked, machete wielding, undead maniac killer on the loose is fine by me. They’ll get my money to go see it! I mean, I even sat through Hatchet for gods sake and that wasn’t a patch on this film!

But I did love your (semi)review Opinioninahaystack!

ultimately, remakes in all their forms are evil.

But Friday had some great tits and some great violence. That’s the movie cheese I grew up on and I’m happy to see that it’s still at large today.

Yeah it was that far off of my radar, not that I would have gone to see it. I think modern horror movies, remakes of horror movies, or sequels to horror movies that were a franchise more then a decade ago, are useless to me. I just don’t care about there existence.

And now with that said… I thought your column was funny, I loved the dialogue at the end there. If that were in the movie I would consider going to see it just for that laugh at the end.

Every scene that wasn’t someone getting murdered had tits, beer, or drugs in it. What else do you want?

I can’t believe you didn’t make any mention of the token black character.
