Friday the 13th - again

If you thought after 10 movies (11 if you count Freddy vs Jason) that Jason Voorhees was finally dead, think again. Producer Michael Bay is bringing Jason back to life in a remake of the Friday the 13th movie. Will I see it when it comes out? Yes – for three reasons. I love horror movies, I like to see what they can do with remakes of the classics, and Jared Padalecki is in it. Okay, so he’s not my favourite Winchester brother but he’s getting hotter with each episode. I hope they stop with just remaking the first one. Because let’s face it after the second one, the movies needed to be put out of their misery.

Will it be as good as the original? Who knows. I’m disappointed with a lot of movies they’re calling horror these days. Because, um, where’s the horror? When was the last time a horror movie made you jump? Kept you up at night? And does a horror movie have to be at least rated R to be truly scary? Can you have a horror movie scare the pants off you if it’s only PG-13? My feeling is if a 14 year old can watch it without parental guidance, it’s not scary enough.

I’m off to see if there’s anything I need to set my PVR for before I go to work.

Until next time…
