Everytime I read or hear about it, it's talked about as a sequel rather than a remake. I couldn't care less about either.

Re: Friday the 13th remake
 

I admit that after the first three they started to go downhill. but that doesn't mean it's broken or that it needs to be fixed.

they keep remaking movies that don't need to be remade, that were perfectly fine before. that concept applies here.

they shouldn't remake it. it was only made what, 26 yrs ago (1980). and if they do, it should be in about 70 years when i'm dead and don't have to suffer through watching it.
