Yeah I think in the remake Junior (in this version I think he was called Justin) isn't evil. He picked up Mari's necklace (her other friend who got killed was named Page lol my bad) after she got attacked trying to run away and when his family unknowingly stopped at her parents' house for help and he saw her picture and freaked out after realizing whose house they were in he had a mental breakdown and quickly set the necklace down out of guilt. That was how the parents found out what happened to their daughter.
I liked the fact that in the remake they spared him unlike in the original. He was still just a kid too and in this version he felt actual remourse about what his family was doing. I think it was even implied that they were abusive towards him which is why he never ran to the authorities. He befriended Mari and Page because he was just a lonely teenager and didn't think that his father and the rest would be returning to the hotel that day.
I felt bad for the poor boy.
