Episode description
Tonight's episode features a different tone to the series. Realistically, the series has a couple roller coaster rides of tones, it's primarily lighter when it comes to the scare factor. Trying to wow, and make the audience cringe at the sight of blood and gore. Each movie feels like it's trying to outdo the previous, most times succeeding. You'll get to hear Austin and I's viewpoint on the new set of characters, and how they stack up to the rest of the series. We've never felt like experts on horror, but we do pride ourselves in thinking of different routes the movies could have taken.
I've become accustomed to the cheesiness factor when I see anything 80's, with a few exceptions, and I do mean just a few. The 80's was so overpopulated with movies, The industry felt the more, the better. Hell, a lot more home movies were coming around, People using their hard earned money to capture their sometimes creepier ideas than you see in Hollywood. I could see how the aesthetic of woods horror is pretty similar to open ocean horror. Exploring the unknown, mostly. You'd think by now, the local police would have shut that campsite down, demolished anything in that merciless lake spot.
It's never too late for a sequel to something that spews out the green. The work ethic back then was insane, I still can't get over the fact of making these films nearly back to back with every entry. Nowadays, we have to wait years to get a sight of sequel. I'm a practical effects lover myself, it really shows the true creativity on all fronts of the crew. They have to modify and think a lot harder than someone clickity clackin away on a computer for effects. But hey, I get it, "Looks cooler". Jason is feeling like a friend to me by now, He's dispatching all the annoying teenagers in his land. Just merely chillin, trying to get by. Some of his kills felt so effortless, that he's just as annoyed as I am. The way he walks, the way his body talks murdering them. His actions are ooze with so much hilarity, that the giggle-fest comes in effect, And it "kills" me when he kills them. Sorry, the corny nature is contagious.
