@ ...Thanks for the love guys. I needed it tonight.<br /><br />@ Liam: I like the later ones as well. Oddly enough V is a weird favorite of mine. <br /><br />@ Aaron: You hit it right on the head. Baghead Jason seems more like something you'd actually be scared shitless of. <br /><br />The Final Chapter is fun and Savini is amazing, but I don't know, this has always just been the ultimate slasher for me. <br /><br />@ Mr. Jeffery: Many thanks man. There is indeed no school like the old school. <br /><br />@ Erich: Dude. I CANNOT WAIT to see you write this up. <br /><br />@ Neil: Thanks man. Too right though. Alot of it I think is life getting in the way. Its like "Man I really want to investigate the back catalouge of this Renoir boxset I bought. But after a nine hour day I'm fucking tired. And want to watch something I KNOW I'll like." <br /><br />@ FC: Really? Miner did that. Jesus. Now I"m depressed. I could forgive Soul Man and Big Bully, but not that.<br /><br />@ Rob: Damn straight on all accounts Rob. I never thought about that with Mrs. Voorhes before but it makes a lot of sense.Bryce Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17040954580033470664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121497265402071351.post-38490470713333271252010-06-11T20:55:57.273-07:002010-06-11T20:55:57.273-07:00Can't do much more than to echo all the praise...Can't do much more than to echo all the praise here, maybe one thing I'd add is that the very MINUTE Jason became the unstoppable killing machine (Part 3) he became TOTALLY non-frightening--not that some of the sequels aren't without their moments or jump scares, but it's always the same plot with a changing (and increasingly dislikeable)cast of victims.<br />Semi-related:I also like the first F13, but the ending reveal has always pissed me off-if they'd at least SHOWN Mrs. Voorhees sometime prior to revealing her as the killer in the last 15 minutes (maybe she could have been one of the patrons at the bar who tries to warn off poor Annie from going to Camp Crystal Lake?), it wouldn't have felt like such a cheat.<br />And oh yes, Amy Steel as Ginny! She's right up there with Laurie Strode as a heroine (even more than Nancy Thompson)!AKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02084216883655540363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121497265402071351.post-72082958888478289242010-06-11T16:40:54.659-07:002010-06-11T16:40:54.659-07:00One of the best in the series, totally agree.

I saw this on afternoon cable once when 14 with my friend and we had to go scouring all the bedroom closets in the house with crowbars and butcher knives in hand, ferreting out Jasons. We'd get to the top and hear something in the basement and have to start all over again. It was freaky but hilarious... tough from then on slashers became a focal point for my nihilistic teenage anxiety. Now you've made me realize I have to face my fears and rent this again.

I used to loathe this sequel but I've grown fonder of it in recent years. I think she's one of the best final girls and I love its straightforward, old school quality.MrJefferyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04657422824565425948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121497265402071351.post-62015689505768871382010-06-11T03:14:30.874-07:002010-06-11T03:14:30.874-07:00I completely agree.

Baghead Jason has always been one of my favorite looks in the entire slasher subgenre. Something about it is just very unsettling, and I would be legit terrified if I were out in the middle of the woods and saw someone with a sack over their head as opposed to a hockey mask.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08390842606960468754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121497265402071351.post-64252510573031577812010-06-11T01:42:07.634-07:002010-06-11T01:42:07.634-07:00Fantastic post!

But I also really need to get around to giving them all a rewatch some time soon.Liam [Less Than Three Film]https://www.blogger.com/profile/17899495163747026987noreply@blogger.com
