posted by dumb on Feb 18, 2009i agree with "dumb", this movie fuckin sucked donkey dick, cant anybody remake these horror flicks and follow the ORIGINAL plot?? i mean, whats the point of remaking something and naming it after the original, and then make a COMPLETELY different movie, this one sucked almost as much as the remake of the texas chainsaw massacre, and no wonder, it was made by the same fuckin idiots that did that remake too. nothing can touch the original movies, this one is just modernized for the moron teen audiences of today, they dont have a clue as to what makes a good slasher flick nowadays, just watch the original chainsaw massacre, and you'll see horror like it was meant to be...the only reason i gave it one star is because it wont let me give it a negative score, the only thing this movie was good for was wasting 2 hours of my life

If Jared comes back for the next Friday the 13th film. I don't want him to die. Jensen Ackles needs to be in the next movie with Jared. So they can kill Jason together.
