My Response: At least it's rated R. A slasher pick that is only PG-13 is no slasher at all. I'm not a huge fan of remakes that are not necessary, so I just recommend renting the original and cozying up with someone hot if you want to watch a scary movie this Friday the 13th.

My Response: I only have one thing to say about this movie: do yourself a favor by renting the original film and enjoying a true masterpiece. Okay two things... I wish Gort was here to take care of people who make remakes.
