Yup I couldn't help myself, I had a few hours to kill and a collection of terrible movies on offer, so I figured after writing a pre- St. Patrick's day bit for the 16th that Friday The 13th was a good move. A crass remake of a classic horror, I spent most of the time wondering why Jared Padalecki bothered with this truly unoriginal horror considering supernatural was at it's height of popularity. I got to thinking, why are remakes of classic horror so terrible? When the remake for Evil Dead came out I was wonderfully surprised. It was slick and cool without seemingly trying too hard. We always want the remakes to be good and no one ever expects them to be better but Evil Dead had the right amount of homage's to the original and enough of it's own new content to be thrilling and exciting. Anyway, this wasn't the least bit thrilling and to be honest a little dull.
