This is the second reboot right? The last one mixing the first three movies together more or less right.


Jason is an icon there's no denying that but he's also a character of its time. People outside of hardcore horror movie fans just find the premise of "movie monster" ridiculous and I'm with them. Nothing wrong with those fans but it's no different than those who like Pro Wrestling, they're a niche fanbase. You don't see Disney trying too hard to make Mickey Mouse a hit character, sure he gets movies on videos and what not but the company doesn't push their iconic mascot to bigger things like in the past because his time for that is past. They should embrace what they have and keep doing merchandise while releasing smaller DTV films that is exactly what fans would probably want a low budget authentic feeling movie instead of an overproduced film that is just bad.

I mean I loved Jason as a kid and only watched a couple of movies for that same reason but the idea of the killer was awesome and as soon as I became a teenager and could watch it all I just didn't care anymore even if I still find the character cool the idea of watching bad horror movies just doesn't appeal to me.
