Friday the 13th - Just don't bother

[digit]

I made the mistake of going to see the remake of Friday the 13th, for some reason I expected an engaging semi decent story, but instead was very disappointed. What could have been good has been ruined ...

I was going to see it on friday night but couldnt find any cinemas up in the lake disctrict showing it.

Is it really that poor? I had heard from some ppl that its better than a lot of the remakes hollywood has been churning out latel(texas chainsaw. Hills have eyes etc)

Its one of the worst horror films I think i've seen other then Jason X

I'd be surprised if you enjoy the formula, Michael Bay is a producer on it ...

I do hope The Unborn for which he is also a producer is better, I really like the look of that from the trailers.
