1. Did I enjoy it? NO
In preparation for the Freddy vs. Jason film that came out in 2003, I made a decision to watch every Friday The 13th and Nightmare On Elm Street movie made up to that point. Once you've made that kind of commitment, it's hard to stop when new sequels, or in this case remakes, come out. Having not seen a Friday movie since I saw the last film in the theater, I was looking forward to sitting down and watching it. "Maybe they'll actually try to make this remake scary," I thought to myself. No such luck. It's the same old schtick as the others, with oversexed teens hanging out at Crystal Lake and one by one being slaughtered by Jason in gruesome ways. For hardcore Jason fans, they might like this B-movie. The bad dialogue, acting, blood-and-guts mutilation and soft porn sex is what they expect, and it delivers all of those in abundance. But I was hoping this time around the filmmakers were going to be serious about scaring me. Apparently not.
2. Would I watch it again? NO
There's nothing unique about this movie; it's a remake that is just more of the same. Give me a story where I actually care about the heroins before you wipe them out. The original Nightmare On Elm Street did that well.
