To be fair the kills have been good so far and Jason is imposing, I just find the so called teenagers irratation levels dialed up to 11, as a viewer you don't mourn any of there deaths lol.
I'm not a hypocrite; story has never been my reason for enjoying the series. I'm in it for a few pounds of B³ as well. But the "remake" or "reboot" or whatever the 2009 film is, lacks focus. Early on, it's a forgone conclusion that the film isn't even going to allow any blood to flow to our brains; Bay and Nispel desperately want to direct it somewhere else. So it's just about the male gaze then? Sure. This film is so categorically male-oriented, it barely moves above that baseline of gore and tits that are the x and y of the slasher genre.
All that said, I enjoy these things just like I enjoy a slice of pizza. Neither are masterpieces in their respective businesses, but they fulfil their greasy promise with ease. In fact, I wish Platinum Dunes hadn't stopped making F13, ANOES and TCM films because as genre product, their slasher output showed promise. Nowadays, it's all about the "elevated" slasher, and that's a good thing--I'm a fan! But a simple no-brainer of a B³ slasher is part of my balanced horror film diet as well.
A B³ masterpiece. And he was absolutely correct about the tits.
Exactly. There is a "cosy" element to a good slasher that I appreciate very much. Call me immoral, a little insane perhaps, but a well-crafted slasher flick--my demands are few and my bar pretty low--is an effective stress reliever.
He was. No doubt about it.
I've also read the manga and the first novelization, the only book that has ever managed to give me goosebumps.
Yes, I'm a J-Horror fan, particularly of the Ring and Grudge series. Ju-On -- did you know that's not even a word in Japanese? -- is my favourite. Its low-budget qualities, along with its strong blend of modern and traditional Japanese culture and storytelling, provides those horror fan with everything he needs.
