Anyway, I guess the new remake is a mash-up of the first three, kind of a "greatest hits" package. So, no psycho mom & no burlap sack-wearing retard.
Wow, way to remove all my favorite elements from the original Friday movies. To me the scariest part was the concept of a retarded hillbilly who lived in a shack with his insane mother and killed people who wandered into their neck of the woods. It was also a lot more plausible than an undead killing machine that travels through space and time to kill as many teens as possible.
I think you'll like this movie then. It seems to be in the style of the first three, which was about a retarded hillbilly who killed people to avenge his dead mother.
It wasn't until F13 VI that he turned into a space travelling Manhattanite zombie.

I actually think Rob Zombie should've been given this property instead of Halloween. He could've done the whole inbred hilljack angle a lot better with Jason than Myers, IMO.
The problem is that Zombie's done that theme about insane hillbillies before. I would rather Bay do F13 and keep it in the style of the original three/four films then Zombie remake it in the style of House of 1,000 Corpses or Devil's Rejects.
All things considered, I though Zombie's Halloween blew anything from the original series away.
