10 Worst Slasher Movie Reboots Ever Made

Platinum Dunes is back again with their failed attempt at introducing a new generation of movie-goers to the legend of Camp Crystal Lake.

Firstly, this movie cannot even really be called a remake, per se. Rather than re-telling the story of Mrs. Voorhees' original murder spree from 1980, this film haphazardly condenses the first four Friday films into the same reboot. With the ending of the iconic first film taking place in the first thirty seconds, no less.

What follows is a half-hearted attempt to revive the franchise, with disastrous results. This is a film that offers gratuitous smut, racial stereotypes galore, and not much else. The long-established modus operandi of Jason Voorhees is thrown out the window. In this film, Jason not only runs, but also takes hostages. Apparently, the screenwriters never bothered to actually watch a Friday the 13th movie before beginning work on this one.

Cap all of that off with terrible acting, no genuine atmosphere or tension to be found, and one of the most cliche horror endings possible, and you have was is easily one of the worst horror remakes to-date, slasher or otherwise. The only scary thing about this film is the baffling amount of success it somehow achieved.
