What's the most brutal kill from 'Jason Goes To Hell'? I'd say the opening, but I'm not sure that technically counts (since it's Jason), and I haven't seen the movie in so long that I don't remember many other gory kills. The two that come to mind are someone getting their face burned on a grill, and that badass pole kill in the diner when a girl stabs the incarnation of Jason and he yanks her into it at the same time or something.
I can't believe how much criticism this film takes. Sure, it's no A Nightmare On Elm Street, but I love some scenes so much, I can easily forgive the few I don't like. Also, Freddy's look is amazing! When he creeps up behind July, my mouth is one gaping hole of saliva!
And to be honest, what Scream did very well, this one does 'just good', but it's still good. I mean, I have heard that some people damn New Nightmare as the very worst in the series. Nah-ah-ah! Freddy's Revenge, anyone? Wait, Dream Child? No-no-no, THE FINAL NIGHTMARE, where Freddy goes to Loony town. Wes Craven's New Nightmare is a far better movie than those, fresh and original and well shot!
That is what FvsJ should have been like.
Didn't they have some lame ass excuse for not hiring Kane Hodder? Something like 'Oh we wanted an actor who had sympathetic eyes' or some nonsense like that.... ~X(
While NECA made an equally good New Nightmare Freddy:
NECA have also done exceptional work with the Friday licence. Making both undamaged and battle damaged Jasons from part 3 and 4, as well as a reboot Jason. Mezco also made the reboot Jason. But while theirs came in 2 versions: burlap sack headsculpt and hockey mask headsculpt, NECA provided two swappable headsculpts for the one figure. Mezco gave their Jason more accessories, but NECA focused on getting their Jason(s) screen accurate. NECA even sculpted Jasons face under the removable masks, even if we didn't see Jasons face, like in the reboot.
That combined with the low budget special effects, gives it an almost high camp, cartoonish appeal.
It's a potent mix. Entertaining as heck.
I really liked the Raimi- Campbell approved remake too.
Had the same relentless pacing that causes the faint of heart to walk out of the theater.
:(
RIP Betsy (Mrs Voorhees). With a 2016 release, would it be too late to dedicate the next film to her?

Sound like rather than being called a recalibration, it could just be called a sequel (to the original series). I would be all for them revisiting the original timeline. I am hoping that this will happen with the next Friday The 13th reboot.

The director is Marcus Dunstan who co-wrote the film, and cameras roll next month.

That will be hard to beat. Kinski is in my top 3 Draculas.
In other horror news....
Burt IS Back.
You can take the Burt out of Perfection, but you can't take the badass out of the Burt. B-)
I haven't seen the 70's remake but I can't believe anything can live up to the original. Pretty horrible timing too considering the recent theft of FW Murnau's skull....
And like people have said, nothing can top the 1979 version in my opinion. Of course the original Murnau was incredibly well crafted but overall the remake was a more satisfying expierience for me. One of the best movies of all time.
On a bit of a side note, I've been on a total Dracula flick kick lately since I've been lucky enough to be currently fulfilling one of my life dreams by appearing in a stage version of Dracula (as Jonathan Harker). I just watched Nosferatu '22 and Shadow of the Vampire back-to-back the other week, which was a rewarding experience. I'm sorry to say I found the original pretty dreadfully boring apart from a handful of interesting shots of Schreck, but they did a fantastic job with the scene recreations in Shadow (and of course Willem Dafoe was a complete delight to watch).
Also recently viewed: Dracula - Dead and Loving It, Andy Warhol's Blood for Dracula, and Dracula '31 with Bela.
Looking forward to many more coming up, especially Count Dracula with Louis Jordan and Horror of Dracula with Christopher Lee.
Hey it's got two Bond alums (sort of): Charles Dance (FYEO) and Dominic Cooper (Fleming). Let us know how you like it.
Major, Palance is probably my favourite Dracula of all time. Saw it as a kid and was afraid to descend the stairs to our cellar bathroom afterwards.
I feel like that, when I watch it now as an adult. Palance is like a wild animal throughout the film. And when Dracula discovers the coffins, he erupts with a rage like nothing I have ever seen. Palance is in my top 3 Dracula's, along with Lugosi and Kinski. It's so close, I don't think I could rank them, unless I gave then joint 1st place.

I STILL haven't seen this and I've wanted to check it out for a long time. Any recommendations?
@Some_Kind_Of_Hero, you just blew my mind with that Bond alum bit, as I never, ever knew that Charles Dance played Claus in FYEO. Blows my mind. Well, there's yet another Game of Thrones to James Bond connection!
