Oh god, early horror in the 200's (especially remakes) were just the worse. Filled with cliches, terrible acting and dialogue. Basically the 13th series but without the camp.
I'm not gonna act like the original was a masterpiece or anything, because it's not. I always thought it was kinda boring and copied a lot from John Carpenter's "Halloween". However, re-creating scenes from the 1980 film in the remake was so sloppy and embarrassing.
It was so unneeded to show how Jason mangers to get around and catch up with people by him going through tunnels. Like who build the tunnels in the first place? I know the film is trying to go for a different direction and not do the same repetitive stuff, but even when it does new things, it sucked.
Marcus Nispel is the director of the film. He's also the same guy who ruined "Conan the Barbarian", "Frankenstein" and "Texas Chainsaw". Every terrible remake that came out in the early 200's was from this dipshit. One of the worst directors alive who's still making movies, and yet Guillermo del Toro is struggling to get his next project out. Don't ever direct a movie again, killing everything you touch.
Michael Bay had some involvement in this and it shows. Honestly feels like Bay directed it.
