So I saw that Peacock is doing a Friday the 13th prequel. Aside from the fact that prequels/remakes/reboots are being done to death and prequels are annoying since they seem to be a tool of the woke showrunner to show a stunning and brave woman was the true hero (Spock having a never mentioned foster sister in Discovery who was a big influence) I think you could do something interesting like maybe that area had some ancient Indian curse or something.
I’m assuming it will be the usual current year programming set in the past but looks like modern day NYC. Also I see Slashers get attacked by the usual Gen z or Millennial critics
While I’m at it check out the Friday the 13th show from late 80s/early 90s. All episodes are on YouTube. Have it on my list to binge since it’s been at least 15 years since I’ve seen it
Regardless of where it's set the cast will look like they were grabbed from New York/London.
Women will be most affected, somehow.
All the white men will be retarded, muscle bound retards who get themselves killed by trying to brute force things without thinking or talking things over, despite this inherently being a point of them feeling the situation needs force when men never feel or some other retarded bullshit.
There will be too many retarded references to Jason and the later movies because every prequel made now has to be wink-wink-lookatthecamera-didyouseewhatwesaidthere?.jpg because whomever is making this expects the audience to be as equally retarded as they are, which is entirely possible these days.
The audience won't realise they are being pandered to because of said retardation and will end up clapping like the retarded seals they are because they "get the joke" they were just beaten over the head with and laughing means they are part of the group that gets the joke, which is most important to them, not whether the joke was actually any good.
Zendeya will be in it, for reasons.
The whole thing will be an allegory for something completely unrelated to the franchise but drowning [heh] in woke politics and retardation.
The music will all be shit modern crap despite the prequel being set decades before it even existed.
If anyone makes a drinking game out of this movie they will die before any of the characters.
The Hollywood Formula in current year to a T.
You have given me a great laugh. You nailed modern day script writing.
That'll be 60 bucks, with a further 20 for the as of yet
unstartedunfinished DLC that includes a 3 hour credits roll, and another an ending regardless of whether it's good or bad.it is interesting. since the F13 game that came out years and years ago had A LOT of gays and girls playing that game. it had all the stereotypes and also had decently sexy female characters. and there wasn't a gay character as far as we can tell.
but yeah.. whoever is gonna make this is gonna fuck up the characters and make them ugly and insufferable and gay.
Let me guess Jason grew up at the camp as a tranny and no one else
acceptedcoddled his every desire so he drowned himself in the lake.Funny, because I know of several that I'd put in the normie category put likely not fat on the woke kool-aid that are very into slasher movies.
For me I really just find them to be annual Halloween cash grabs myself, but I'm probably biased because I really just don't get into the genre at all. Something there just doesn't do it for me.
I didn’t even consider them making it about transgenderism
Well I remember about 10 years ago there were those feminist horror movies and the directors attacked them but those movies flopped. I usually watch most horror movies around Halloween when they have marathons
A slasher about a creature that lives in the lake, and kills to feast on souls would be awesome. Set it as a native family first, then a colony. The moon turns red, and the animals hide from the area. The only way to escape is not be seen and move away from the area by a great distance. It can hear you whistle at night. It appears as a man, but has no real face.
Every story is a different era, and the people living by the lake find it's true on the 13th Friday after the cry of death is heard and the moon shows a face that should not be there.
I would love that series.
I like that idea. An anthology type of series. You should write a script and send it…..so they can turn it into a gay allegory or an anti Trump story. Seriously that would be cool
I'll admit, it's in my list of things to do with my ai skills.
A prequel, like before Jason died? Or is it after his death but before the first movie. I could see potential in a series with the mom slowly going insane and planning the events of the movie. Or maybe they'll do an ancient evil in the lake and the Voorhees were worshippers of it. And the mom sacrifices Jason to it.
The Friday the 13th show is an anthology show.
Apparently a prequel prior to Jason. Could be interesting but with modern writing I’m not holding my breath.
Yes, I enjoyed that series back in the day but was confused why it was called Friday the 13th but wasn’t related.
Ahh so they're going with there is something in the lake that's evil.
Could be. Although if they go the older route I can see them having Native Americans slaughtered by evil Europeans
Oh yeah, that's right up their alley.
A good story could be told though. If this was early 00s or something I’d be interested to watch
It'll probably just be Bates Motel but at a lake.
Hollywood and it's flirting with incest
God I wish we could just have regular slasher movies again. Just something simple and easy where I don't need to be too angrily shouting at the screen about how stupid it is.
Instead its either a drawn out allegory for racism or homophobia or the like, or literally designed to be porn for fucked up women (Terrifier).
Horror movie directors are some of the most progressive people out there. Chances are your favorite horror movie has progressive messaging in it.
My favorite is Funny Games which has a subversive but very not progressive message in it, other than maybe "rich people are kinda easy to trick with unflinching politeness."
But that was also made by an small time German guy in the 90s to literally shit on all other horror movies in a "fuck you" manner instead of Scream's "ha ha we called out the trope!" one.
I think Funny Games is suppose to be an attack on the audience that enjoys horror movie.
It absolutely is. There is an entire section with characters philosophically musing that to characters in a movie their reality is just as real as ours once you've created their world in your mind, and thereby how evil it is to get off on watching them suffer and die. Its deliberately designed to cuck you out of every type of enjoyment you can get watching a horror movie.
And progressives are the exact type who spend all day fantasizing about violence against those they hate, its why, by your own admission, they make up most of horror creators.
I haven’t seen the second and third terrifiers. Not worth it?
I wasn't a fan, for the reason listed. Almost every factor of it seemed directly designed to appeal to the female audience, and I have met more than a handful of women who admit to being very turned on by many scenes. The second movie even introduces his own little not-Harley Quinn for them to self-insert in.
Which, no hate, everyone deserves their own original IPs pandering to them if they want it. But people treat it as the masterpiece of the genre without question, when it has caveats. And to some it still might be, but that's my opinion.
Though for your question, I think objectively the second one is the best by far and worth your time to see if it appeals to you more than me. It has a much higher budget and production behind it to amp it up from the original, while is still early in the "magical demon shit" elements that the third amps up.
I wish we just had more masculine slasher films. We just don't get them.
I loved Silent Rage for that reason. We actually had a competent hero fighting against an unstoppable monster. Even though Chuck Norris said he wasn't going to do those kind of films again (though he still kind of did with Hero and the Terror, but it was far more campy than Silent Rage), I still think it's one of his best because it's different from everything else out there.
The thing I found was that masculine, competent leads in slasher/horror films raise the bar of quality tenfold, because you're not dealing with a stupid character doing stupid things that frustrates the viewer. You actually WANT the hero to win.
But these movies are in such short supply.
Manhunter/Silence of the Lambs would basically be the high-brow auteur versions of that concept, but it's hard for me to think of others.
I suppose Vampires sort of fits the bill, and that's easily what makes it one of the best in the genre. Psycho Cop also falls into that category, the first one was decent, the second one was.... ehh.... loved the concept, hated what they did to Bruce Campbell in it.
Split/Second had the potential to be a classic but its story was all over the place and the ending was pure trash.
The Collector/The Collection I suppose could fall into that category, and I liked the concept and execution for the most part, same with No One Lives (thought that one was actually pretty cool), as well as Nature of the Beast (which is probably one of the very best slasher/psycho-thrillers out there).
But yeah, you're right... I wish we could get some good slasher films that weren't either grindhouse-torture porn, progressive subversion, or a mix of the two.
I mean, considering that most people associate Jason himself with that franchise, one could argue that the first movie is the "prequel"
