I didn't mind The New Blood, other than the fact that it was completely bloodless. There was zero gore in it except for Jason and all the punishment he got there (seriously, I think he broke a record there).
But I have seen the uncut gore-footage of the film and it was amazing. I have concluded that The New Blood would've been the best sequel in the series if it had been left alone. The movie being "ripped to shreds" doesn't even begin to cut it. The movie had some of the best Friday kills I'd ever seen and it's a shame most of them were cut out.
Personally, Part VI is my favorite for its sheer fun factor, despite the fact that it completely butchered Tommy Jarvis's character in V (psycho Tommy was the only half-way decently written character in the entire series) and gave us zombie Jason -- he worked well in that one, but all future sequels had to carry the baggage.
JGTH wasn't as bad as people think. I thought it was one of the better efforts in the series and I admire it for trying to be different than the others.
The problem with the remake is that it simply falls flat on all possible accounts -- uncreative deaths, characters even more one-dimensional than in the originals (never thought that would be possible) and a weak leading actor, which is a shame because I love watching his show Supernatural.
On the bright-side, Jason was pretty menacing here and the new Momma Voorhees did a tremendous job with the screen-time she was given.
The remake was ballz on all fronts. It was like a wet dog sitting on your lap the entire movie... I hated pretty much every single aspect of the film, right down to Jason himself. Everything in the movie was uninspired and had nothing going for it.
The actors were junk bunk. The script was junk bunk. "p.s. I don't have it either" The kills were junk bunk. The setting was junk bunk. The jokes were junk bunk. The typical cliche drug heads were junk bunk.
I think what I hated the most, tho... Was when ol' buddy was clearly seeing ol' girl... Then, when ol'buddy bike boy shows up, he all of a sudden is alright with her leaving with this guy and then goes and has sex with some other girl. That made no sense at all. Whatsoever. It was probably one of the most poorly thought out plot points I had ever seen in any movie. EVER!
Friday the 13th should never have been remade. It should've died off with the abysmal "Jason in Space" junk and then the even more shoddy "Jason v Freddy" Garbage on epic scales here.
