The original film was a nicely made but cheap movie, and the cheapness helped, I think. The recent film is a "slick production"...maybe a little too nice-looking?

I believe Roger Ebert said it's the best looking Friday the 13th movie. I think parts 2 and 6 look great. They don't look modern like the remake but they have a reality to them.
I could write a book about what was wrong with the new F13th. I think that the movie finally killed the franchise. They were talking about a sequel with Jason in the snow. Yet another dumb idea.
