” Does he shovel his hut’s driveway?”

Hilarious!!!!!!!! LOL

I wouldn’t be completely opposed to the snow idea, if it were done right, but I could pretty much say that about the plot of every Friday flick. In order for the movie to succeed as a horror movie, the plot needs to focus on the non-Jason characters, and the audience needs to care about those characters. When you’ve got a film, in which the audience roots for Jason, he’s simply not going to create a sense of fear. That’s not to say that you can’t have an enjoyable/fun movie with a Jason that the audience cheers for, but if the filmmakers are trying to get back to the roots of the original, it’s not going to happen without focus on the would-be victims. To the remake’s credit, at least the main protagonists were somewhat likable. Unfortunately, everybody else was simply stereotypical Jason fodder.

The biggest problem with the remake was the lack of Manfredini’s score! That’s like a Halloween movie without the classic theme or JAWS without the da dum, da dum. Whoever decided not to use that music should be fired! The other thing that was wrong was the lack of likeable characters, which had a lot to do with the dialogue. So cliche and stupid! Get somebody to write some characters that are at least somewhat appealing. Aside from Whitney, I thought they were all pretty bad. I thought the remake was ok overall and a step in the right direction after the awful F vs. J, but it could have been a lot better. On a positive note, I thought Derek Mears was the best Jason since part 4!
