Near Dark (1987)

A nice film on 'near vampire' people, a pretty decent story. Seen it for the first time and liked it.

Friday the 13th (2009)

**Spoilers**
Some nice killings but too much nudity:p. The thing I didn't like most that Jason keeps a girl alive in the basement for months cause somewhat she looks like his mother!?! The Jason we know did ever gave a damn about captivity or imprisonment?...he just kills, if a promising victim really reminds his mother then I think he'd just cut her head & kept that somewhere in the house.
Another thing wasn't clear to me that why they carried his body all the way out to the dock and dump in the lake? Who came up with this stupid idea to take the chain off his neck, remove his mask and get rid of all the evidence?
And why they so neglected 'Ssh-Ssh-ssh-ssh-ssha'? that awesome F13th signature score!?! Besides one or two scene, I really missed that thing.
Anyway, as a big fan of his amusing works, it's still pleasure to see that hockey mask killing machine on screen. :)

The Last House on the Left (1972)

2nd time viewing just before watching the remake and this time it was much better.

The Last House on the Left (2009)

Not as much violent or brutal as the original was. And who can be better Krug than David Hess? This guy doesn't have that sinister look in the eyes; moreover Francis & Justin somewhat failed to replace respectively Weasel & Junior. The last fight on the house between Krug & Co. and the parent was bit too long also. But overall, in compare to other crap remakes it was a 'decent' effort though.
