In
direct comparison, Jason Goes to Hell finds itself up against
two reboots in round 9. Adam Marcus' spin on The Hidden body-swapping
idea cut down on Jason's actual on-screen time, upped the gore quota (in the
unrated version) and ended with Freddy's glove making a (premature) appearance.
Rob Zombie divided Halloween fans with his unique take demystifying the Shape's
origins before briskly and violently re-staging most of the original. I can see
why some hated it, but personally I thought it was a genuinely personal and
fascinating vision and it gets the 3 points from me (controversial I
know!).
Speaking of controversial, I am actually the only person in the Western
Hemisphere who didn't hate the Elm Street remake either (*ducks and
runs for cover*). Of course, Jackie Earle Haley had an impossible task
in trying to fill Robert Englund's shoes/hat/glove/sweater etc but give the guy
some slack people! I thought his portrayal was dark and mean - something that
Englund's Freddy was too, once upon a time...
