8 Times Michael Bay Said F*ck You To Horror Fans

1. He Made Jason Voorhees Boring

Mute, easily spotted and capable of being fooled by any woman who pretends to be his dead mother, Jason Voorhees might not seem like much of an antagonist, but his Wolverine-like healing ability makes him a formidable adversary. In nine previous movies, filmmakers have kept the formula fresh by pitting him against telekinetic cheerleaders, sending him into space and setting up an anticlimactic grudge match with Freddy, so what could a remake possibly offer? Over the course of 97 painful minutes, Michael Bay tells you: nothing. There€™s a campfire scene where someone tells the legend of Mrs Voorhees and her son (what is this, 1982?), an incompetent Sheriff, some Creepy Locals and a sequence where the Funny Little Asian Guy wanders off alone, in the dark, to his doom. Has Bay never watched a slasher movie? One of the hallmarks of greedy, cynical filmmakers is that the characters have €œCannon Fodder€ written all over them, and you€™ll figure out who€™s heading for the chop long before your fellow audience members shout, €œHe€™s right behind you!€ Which Jason usually is. For nearly every kill. A Friday The 13th movie where even the kills are boring? Man, that sucks. What else does Michael Bay deserve to be hated for?
