how much less imaginitive can they get ?!
A remake of Friday The 13th ? Feck me.

Yeah, saw that too - apparently there's another remake of the texas chainsaw massacre coming along which I reckon has to be even less imaginative......

It's not about imagination, it's about bums in seats. I predict this movie will make money for its investors.

Could very well be crap, haven't went to a horror film in years. I wanted to see the spanish film .Rec (which was remade as Quarantine) but missed it and I also missed the Swedish film Let the Right one In (remake due next year).
Like I said I'm not a fan or a remake for the sake of it but let's face it the original Friday the 13th sequels were smegma, I have a feeling this will be better than the standard fare that's going these days. If it's crap I'll come back and eat crow.
On the subject of remakes; I recently saw the original version of Insomnia which Christopher Nolan remade recently with Al Pacino and Robin Williams, in this case I actually preferred the remake as I thought they beefed up the story a bit.

It's not a remake of the original, in the original Jasons mother was the killer. it's like Superman Returns; a sequel ignoring previous sequels if you kow what I mean. Here's a review. What I thought it would be like. A decent horror but not mould breaking stuff.
