Ive seen three F13 films: the first 2, plus Freddy Vs. Jason.

I enjoyed the first one more than I enjoy most slashers...it had some good atmosphere, nice kills, was paced well, and one of the best shocker endings of all time.

The second was the opposite. Horrible pacing, completly cliched, and had the one thiing that most slashers have wrong with them: A long, boring, pointless scene of a girl running from the killer. TCM is the only film I can think of where that kind of scene actually worked.

Nobody will agree with me here, but I'd have to say FvsJ was my favourite of the lot. It was what a slasher should be: Mindless, quick paced, full of over-the-top gore and crazy kills...lots of fun overall.

Personally, I dont think a film like F13 should be remade. It has tons of sequels, with the most recent only 2 years old. Why restart a story that's still going? Even Hollywood should be too smart for that, another sequel would make just as much money as a remake, plus it wouldnt anger the fans. Best of both worlds, no?
