My daughter is having her 13 birthday on Friday the 13th, the cool thing is her name is Hope Voorhees...I swear!. She is having a theme party. Can you guess what she wants it to be? We are planning a "Camp Crystal Lake Party". I am making the invitation to look like camp applications. We are planning to pick up the girls at school Friday in a van with a magneticc sign on it. I am hoping you can help me out with any other details to make it a blast. Please forward my information to whoever can help. I appreciate it. Thank you so much! Sincerely, Lisa Lawson :) Hello,

I am a hardcore fan of the first four installments and I watch them all the time. I have went through two VHS sets and I am on my third DVD box set. I also went and bought the blue ray for part 1 when it came out. I would rate the killings and the new Jason an A+, the script a D- and the casting, besides Jason, Jared Padalecki, and Danielle Panabaker was a F. What I love about the first four F13's is how you care about the characters and how they are very believable. They also have some common sense. They also don't wobble around the whole time drunk and with a bong in their hang. (Minus the hippy couple from part3) I think the new F13 is a combination between a horror film and Abercrombie and Fitch catalog. The issue I have with this cast is, why would you go with a group of people camping that you really didn't like? I also hate how the black guy or girl in a new horror films are always a gangsta, gonna cut you, and put themselves out there to be killed. Why can't they act like the other kids and be smart. Why does the Asian guy gotta be the nerdy, fix things kid? I hated that they had the little prick, that went around saying this is mine or that is mine. I mean what sticks with you in the old ones is how you cared for the victims that died and it really had an emotional impact on you. Did you notice how the black and Asian guy were somewhat segregated from the group in the new F13remake? I like how a movie can play with your emotions and mind. I also think what makes the old ones so magical is the time period. They didn't have cell phones or gps's. What if the survivor in one of the older films got into there car, realized they left there keys inside and called On-Star to crank their car via satellite? LOL I mean that would totally take the magic out of it. They should have made it in the 80's setting, which Michael Bay normally is good at doing with time lines. I was very disappointed with the script. I think they could have really dug deeper. Maybe made the creepy old lady Pamela Vorhees sister, or relative or something. I also didn't like how they started the movie off with the killing of Alice and Mrs. Vorhees. You would think they would have come up with something different to start the movie. I have alot of respect for Adrian and Betsy and Michael really messed up when he attempted to recreate that scene. The scene lacked emotion. I will give them a A+ on the death scenes as far as the creativity of them. I thought it was so clever how Jason tied the girl above the campfire in the sleeping bag to burn while her boyfriend's foot was caught in the trap and helpless having watch. That creeped me out the most, because you felt the helplessness of the character. I will say they could have found a better way to kill Jason. I also hate how Michael Bay never lets you feel closure to a movie, even if you know there is going to be a sequel. I mean who would go through a ordeal like the two survivors did, then drag him all the way down to the lake to dump his body? Come on! The script seemed to be scattered until after they all get to the house and by the time you do start getting into it, its over. I think that the fans deserve something way better than what we got. If the Jason has to be in the present, why not bring the survivors back from the originals and let them do a face off. I think it would make a much better movie!

Why don't you go watch the "Saw" films, if all you want to see are inventive (and thereby farfetched) deaths. I think Jason's kills were just fine. He achieved his goal of disposing with his victims as quick as possible (except for the one's used as bait). Jason's approach to killing was akin to a wild animal. He wasn't killing people to get off on cheap thrills. “Chris,” does a murder need to have some sort of “over the top” aspect to it?

IX, period. The kills were not special in any way, totally dull & boring. Wanna see real over the top murders? watch My Bloody Valentine 3D, the miner looked like he could kick Jason's ass anyday.

All this talk about how the power would be running at Camp Crystal Lake (i.e., Jason having the lights on in his tunnels, or when he powers up the lights while looking for Clay & Whitney) - if you listened, you'd have heard the redneck guy say twice that "someone's been stealing kerosene." You know, the fuel for motor generators that power buildings in remote locations? Does common sense not prevail?

The kills were great, the characters were funny and the setting never looked creepier. I don't really know what the deal is with everyone complaining about the mask. What would of been better, Jason having a masking ceremony with Micheal Myeres and Freddy there to present it in a box with a golden bow? He just looks cool killing in a hockey mask. ITS A HOCKEY MASK Running, we already know he's ran before I can't understand how some fans can even begin to debate that. I can't even really put the movies on a rating scale because even though JGTH and Jason X are my least favorite I still enjoy them from time to time. This (2009) movie will go up there with my all time favs: the original, pt 2, pt4 and yes Jason takes Manhattan. Hell that little list feels incomplete.

Another thing i liked about this remake was the acting by Mears i thought it was so well done it was retarded just little things like the way he turns his head when he hears his name and something Kane did when he played Jason those stances where he looks very tall and menaceing and doing the big breaths i liked it alot. I dont really see a problem with the way he got the mask it is a very realistic way of him finding it in my opinion. One thing i liked but kind of didnt im iffy on it is the fact that he kidnapped the girl, we all know jason is a heartless killing machine but in this you see that he has some sort of train of thought and it shows how much he felt for his mother because he kidnapped her for the simple fact that she reminded him of her. Finally for all the people who are bothered by the fact he runs he does some running in some of the earlier films as well so it isnt much of a missinturrupritation of his character. 8 machetes outta 10! overall i thought it was a pretty badass movie i liked it more than the last 5 movies i think they managed to take jason and put a more in depth story into it and with more details.
