Maybe everyone here has a point but then again, all the originals were worse. They were re written rebooted and all of them out done the classics in my point of view. Fresh story, better effects. Like Freddy in fact. The classics suck compared to what the remakes did. At least give them that, can you? The story line and everything for these slasher flicks back then were just horrible. But could it be they’re just beating a dead horse with this? I don’t think so I’m 17 years old not nearly as old as you others. And me personally being so young I would love to see more. Guess it’s not going to happen. Not true. It will someday… Someday. Just probably not soon.

I like it when pompous commenters use grandiose and florid words like “bombastic” to try and sound superior.

The only irony is the word “inferior” is about as mainstream and commonplace as you can get.

i love when people use bombastic words like inferior in order to sound smarter. (kinda ironic) the remake was poor for a movie and awesome for a slasher movie. they should make it a trilogy and quit.

Yeah, I kinda looked forward to a good remake of one of the (kinda)better slasher flicks of the 80’s (Carpenters Halloween being the most respected)after 20 min in, It pretty much sucked.

Halloween remake was a tragedy 1 and 2

Nightmare seems to have potential but so did all these I’ve mentioned.

Texas Chainsaw remake was O.K. at best. BUT lookin’ back all the originals were O.K. at best as well. Being a teen when they came out was what made it exciting.

so all the youngings are getting their fix on these classic 80’s characters….so be it.

In reply to Justin. Ah man it is very sad to see Jason go, but if it keeps his "legacy" of 12 movies better than they might as well R.I.P. Jason, my favorite slasher villain

I enjoyed the first ten or twenty minutes of the remake and then it was nothing but your typical slasher flick that’s been done to death.

I’m really glad they’re not gonna go through with making all of the Friday the 13th movies.

I think now we can safely say that Jason is finally dead.

But at the same time what a ride Jason Voorhees will always have a special place in my heart because I grew up with those movies.

The remake was not good at all ! Every horror fan I know hated it ! They need to do a Freddy vs Jason 2 or a Friday the 13th part 11 .

I wonder if they’ll ever remake Freddy vs Jason. If they do, I hope they get a better actress than that jackass girl of Destinys Child. What’s her name.

I’m dumbstruck, really. I don’t know what to say about this news.
Oh wait. I know exactly what to say!

The Fog remake-BOMB
The Hitcher remake =BOMB
Amityville Horror= BOMB
Prom Night = Don’t go there, but, yeah, BOMB.
My Bloody Valentine= better than the first and I liked it but it BOMBED
Hills Have Eyes 1 okay, Hills Have Eyes 2 BOMB
Texas Chainsaw= okay, nothing special, Chainsaw 2 BOMB
Halloween…you know that drill.

I’m crossing my fingers on Elm Street. Really.

But as for Friday…RIP Jason. Time to retire the machete and the hockey mask.

Unfortunately even if they did try something new and original you can bet that those too will get sequel after pointless sequel until the public finally stops paying to see the same thing.

Take the first “Saw” for example. The story, while violent and gory, presented an interesting message, which being, how far would you go to save yourself? It was different, it was original, and then it was repeated. After 6 movies (with a 7th and hopefully final movie on the way) it’s no longer about a dying man who conveys his message of self preservation through torture, but instead the victims are thrown into life or death situations while a larger plot unfolds without them.

But who knows, maybe after a billion movie sequels, Hollywood just assumes people come to the theaters knowing what to expect and, because of which, don’t expect anything else.
