And yet that's a classic. I personally find joy out of watching teens get axed after witnessing how arrogant they are in real life. Some need a machete or bus to the face.

You can't think of ONE teen from the F13 movies that was likable? Through all those films? not one???::shocked::

I predict it'll be another example of why I hate remakes. ::roll eyes::

I think Susan is supposed to be adopted in this one. smh

Even if it's bad, it's a unique idea on a modern take on real world events with teen suicides and the bulling that leads up to it many times. It's a dark topic, but who doesn't love a good revenge story from beyond the grave. ::smile::

Agreed. I like the concept & want to see how they pull it off.

Dont have to always like the characters... breaking rules can work, but you better be really good in other areas, & probably short.

F-13 is a 'classic', captured the title of the simple kills & titts formula, but it's not great film. Halloween was a much better 'slasher' film, with likeable characters.

I highly doubt it's real. 'Link or it didnt happen' rules at HDC.

Susan is adopted, but Johnny Storm is not?

So Sue's God parents were black? I could see that; just really obscure. But why not just make all of them black except Ben Grimm? Is a black Dr harder to believe than a black family adopting white girl? No, it's not. Why choose to misstep? Now the film is at 09% at RT, & will be a financial flop.

Okay so maybe out of ALL of them I can think of one or two I hoped would make it to the end. The characters in the original 3 though... no. I didn't even care when Kevin Bacon was axed.

EXACTLY. And most times they break said rules they think they're pulling it off and making the other areas work, when they're actually making a train wreck.

It was just an example. I need to rewatch the Halloween series. I only watched each one once and it was before I ever watched Fri13.

It's legit is what it is! ::big grin::

Not that they were teens, but I liked the main two guys in JGTH.
