    if its PG-13 I will personally rape all the 13-17 year olds who try to see this movie.

  18. Radimus-83

    in the world we live in today, kids don't like the old horror movies! thats why all these classic's get re-worked. to suit the next generation of horror fans, which, to be fair.... isn't really to our taste! but thats life!!

    5 years agoby @radimus-83Flag

  19. Radimus-83

    and there is no point thinking this is gonna be a masterpeice! it's just a horror movie that won't most of us cause we have seen it all before!! but the the young kids (13-18) they are one's who this aimed at.

    5 years agoby @radimus-83Flag

  20. Radimus-83

    there is no way they will make this PG-13!! thats just stupid talk, really!! what horor remake have they done that was made PG-13? none that i can think off! if they go in the same direction as"Texas chainsaw: Beginning" then it will be watchable.

    Also I might add, it wasn't until the third one that Jason got his hockey mask. He got it from the weirdo kid....

    Whatever direction the Re-Make goes, whether they follow the plot of the "ORGINIAL", or go inthe the direction about someone who who investigates what happened up at Crystal Lake it still is a stupid silly idea!!!

    I just hope it doesn't turn out to be PG-13, or just mindless laughable crap like the Re-Makes of "The Fog" or "Halloween"!

  28. LeoNiDas' Lover
