I've been asked for permission for some of my poster designs to be featured in that!

I saw Jason Goes To Hell in a theater and thought it was a lot of fun for what it was. Also, I was one of a few people to stick around after the credits to see Freddy's glove.

Would anyone else be interested in seeing another Friday the 13th movie? Perhaps with Tommy Jarvis returning? I would love them to make another sequel to the original films. One thing we don't need is a sequel to the remake!

Predictable and plain are the words that spring to my mind with respect to the Friday the 13th series.

No, I don't need a sequel to the remake; I don't need a sequel to the original series either.

Greetings!

Definately. I know Corey Feldman has been saying for a while now, that he'd like to play Tommy Jarvis again.

I'd only be interested in another film if the director wanted to go back to basics, and keep Jason in the shadows for much of the running time, like the first half of the original series. I feel the remake was a missed opportunity in that regard.

Don't really see the use in remaking all these films, as 1) they look terrible, and 2) the offer nothing new to the viewer.

As it is, I'm quite content to watch the original Fridays 1-4, Halloween, Nightmare On Elm Street, The Howling, etc.

The remake was a missed opportunity in every regard. Bad script, bad dialogue, bad acting and bad plotting. Since when did Jason start taking prisoners? The whole raison d'etre for Jason is that he's an unstoppable, indestructible killing machine. He doesn't reason things out or hatch schemes, he simply sees you and kills you. So with that in mind, why would he suddenly start including kidnapping in his mode of behaviour when he's never done it before? I found that particular plot point very irritating.

And the whole thing where he booby-traps his lair too. So out of keeping with the character.

It is responsible for some of the most amusing sex scene dialogue in a film to date though - "oh baby you have perfect nipple placement!" etc
