    Which Slasher Remake...?

    Did you enjoy the most? I know most everyone likes The Thing or The Fly but between Friday the 13th, Halloween, and TCM, which remake was the best?

    Personally I liked TCM. :nod:

    Good thread BooBerry...

    I wasn't a big fan of the TCM remake for the fact that it got rid of Franklin's character, and also that it tried to shed a sympathetic light on Leatherface (but they made up for those by doing TCM: The beginning.)

    Personally, I really dig the RZ Halloween... dare I say as much as the original?

    I really liked the TTCM remake years ago, now I don't want to watch it and I haven't for years. I don't care for the hulking Leatherface they created. The new Friday the 13th was an entertaining kill-fest, with a new great Jason, but offered nothing new to the series other than a sweet bow and arrow kill (best of the movie). RZ's Halloween was something new and I quite enjoyed it, despite all the hatred for it. A new vision and enjoyable throughout. Halloween gets the vote.

    I think they were all solid (at least not complete failures) but TCM was the best of the three listed.



    By the way cmurdur your Deadpool GIFs are awesome, where did you find them?

    I'm not gonna vote since I haven't seen F13 yet. But I didn't much like Halloween... And I thought TCM was a solid effort.

In exchange for that one moment of sorrow, we gain so many chances for happiness. I will not deny those chances in fear of that day when things will end. Would you not strive to be among the stars, even knowing you would have to return to Earth? As I strive to be with you, knowing I will have to return to being alone one day. It is worth it."

    First time my knife touched skin
    And the red blood started flowing so quick I just couldn't quit
    Kept stabbing until everything that I seen was red
    The pillow, the blankets, the walls, and even the bed
    One color dominating everything like contemporary art
    Am I the killer or artist with bloody heart?
    Then I curled into a ball in the corner of the room
    Feeling like a creep in the light of the moon

    Texas, then Friday, then Halloween

    That's probably because I had my hopes really high for Zombie's remake...

    Texas kinda surprised me by being decent, though it missed the tone of the original.

    I haven't seen the Friday the 13th remake, so I'd say Halloween was my favorite I really enjoyed it. And liek Cmurder I used to really like the TTCM remake, but now it honestly bores me if I'm not in the mood for it.

    I enjoyed bits of all 3 in their own ways.

    TCM - A more lethal and menacing Leatherface and a good character addition with the sheriff IMO still TCM The Beginning was the best of those two new movies.

    Halloween - I thought the stuff when he was a kid was immense before the movie turned into a full blown sloppy homage to the original. The workprint ending would have been a good way to end the series all together.

    F13 - Simple formula untouched. It did not try to be anything other than what the series was known for. It wasn't broke therefore it didn't need to be fixed.

    Nevertheless being a fan of Friday the most, I went with Friday.

    I only liked the new F13. The other 2 didn't do it for me.

    Cant stand Zombie's Halloween, it is a trashy, overstylized retread once he gets past the decent origin story. I have a huge affinity for the TCM remake, I felt that it did everything a remake should do. It was the same theme, but a completely different movie, it would have been a successful film if the original had never been made, it was dark, atmospheric, and was scary.
