You hit the nail on the head. Friday the 13th was never a well made slasher movie, it was always a bottom of the barrel slasher franchise. This “remake” doesn’t bother me as the Halloween “remake” did. I actually think the original Halloween is a very well made horror film..
I wasn’t expecting you to dig this one (you seem to rarely enjoy modern horror films), but as a big fan of the series, I thought it was excellent and even comes close to being better than the original. I will say that the film benefits from being seen on the big screen due to the excellent cinematography (in particular, I knew it had to have been shot somewhere in the south because they don’t have woods like that up north. A look at the credits confirmed it). In any event, the film has proven to be critic-proof, pulling in twice its budget the first weekend. Anyone else smell a sequel?
Vince, I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to have someone contribute an articulate, decorous disagreement to the comments section! Thank you for your participation.

Obviously, I can’t speak for Mr. Hanke, but I think he objects primarily to the emphasis of blockbuster horror movies on gore and torture. He’s actually quite fond of the genre itself.

I thought I smelled something….
