Let me explain:
Friday the 13 series:
Part I - classic, no hating on this one
Part II - not bad, but I hated the whole potato sack mask look
Part III - One of my least fav of the series, the biker gang incorporation was useless, and the kid with the jew-fro was annoying.....plus, wtf was Jason thinking wearing his puke/snot green coloured jumpsuit
Part IV - One of the best one's, and Cory Feldman was in it as a child actor so that's always cool >
Part V - The whole psych-ward, and having it not be Jason Vorhees, but some imposter was a stupid idea. Plus Tommy somehow grew up like 8yrs after the previous one, it didn't make sense.
Part VI - Jason returning as a supernatural entity was a good call; it made more sense since he had been offed like 3 times already with no real explanation as to how he survived; one of my favs in the series
Part VII - fucking retarded. The girl with the psychic powers, says it all......
Part VIII - Gone to Manhattan? Clearly they were running short on ideas........
Part IX - Jason Goes to Hell is my fav of the classics, only because it was the first movie to introduce me to Jason as a kid, so it's a personal fav.
Part X - All-in-all, fucking gay.....
Now the remake?
^ genuinely frightening.......I mean having Jason "run" instead of just walking at a moderate pace with no explanation as to how he caught up to the victims was ridiculous. Now him "running" at you wielding a huge machetti was fucking scary......and the ways he killed people in this one? The scewdriver in the neck to the asian kid? The sleeping-bag tied up over the fire while she burned alive? Jason was RUTHLESS in this one, and the acting though is NEVER good in horror movie, the makeup and the death scenes were much more realistic regardless of the era the movie was released in.
The remake incorporated qualities from the first 3 or 4 Friday the 13th movies, and did a much better job IMO.
