With all the discussion of the FRIDAY THE 13TH remake I haven’t seen and new DVDs of the first three in the original series, I got to thinking about a project I never finished. Two Halloweens ago I re-watched the entire FRIDAY THE 13TH series and was writing reviews of each one. Unfortunately before I finished I came up with this stupid idea of writing one review that would treat the entire series as one long movie. That was a failure and I think I deleted that file and then abandoned the reviews I had been writing.
So unfortunately I didn’t finish up with part 8 or get to my thoughts on JASON GOES TO HELL, but I figured I should put this unfinished piece up because it does a pretty good job of explaining something that’s been coming up alot lately: why I love those early ones even though they’re not on the level of a HALLOWEEN or a TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE. I’ve seen alot of remake reviews saying that it doesn’t matter that it (allegedly) sucks because the originals are no good either. I disagree, so consider this my rebuttal.
