Would've Been Really Cool if Jason Wasn't In It

Just for a moment, think about this movie. Now erase Jason Voorhees from it. Could be a pretty decent murder mystery, huh?
Is the the ex-husband who wants to reconnect with his kids? Or that weird guy who camps out and fixes cars and gets his guns snapped in half? Or perhaps, succumbing to a jealousy rage, the girlfriend (who ends up getting killed in a raft) of the dorky guy (who dies somehow, who cares?) gets the buxom twins (who are buxom) and their buxomness? Or maybe it's Corey Feldmen, angered that Corey Haim got the better roles and wasn't stuck in this recycled yet fun trash, who decides to slaughter the next-door neighbors?
But instead, we're treated to another hack-n-slash Friday the 13th, albeit a better one with good special effects and, of course, Crispin Glover. I now understand why Mr. Glover has such a cult following. Who else could take a corkscrew in the hand and a meat cleaver in the face with such PASSION and CRAFT? I mean, he should've won Cannes for his performance. He should've become President of the Friggin' United States because he got stabbed in the face. I mean, like, totally wow! |
