I like Cooper okay (except in American Hustle, bullsh*t nomination) but he didn't wow me here, either.

Is that why you condone the senseless and barbaric vigilante torture dealt to poor Marv and Harry?

SPOILER: Click to show

Just kidding.

In a way I guess. I realize you are kidding because of the type of movie it is. While they are being tortured, the movie in this regard is treated more like a cartoon. Even as a kid I knew what I was watching. Secondly I have very little sympathy for people like Harry and Marv. If they just minded their own business and didn't decide to rob someone then they wouldn't have been tortured. Also, they could have left almost anytime they wanted as far as I remember. After Kevin shoots them with the BB gun they had their chance to leave.

Isn't the reason so many people enjoy the Friday the 13th movies because they are being entertained by senseless and barbaric murder? Anticipating watching the next innocent teenager be torn apart, stabbed, beheaded etc. Seems kind of sick to me.

Kevin is defending his property in an exaggerated way and I sympathize with his character. I see that aspect of the movie as being about protecting your home and yourself at all costs.

...are you sure? Haha.

As far as F13, the more likable the victims, the scarier watching them die and better the movie. That's why Friday 4 is my favorite - genuinely likable cast. When a horror movie is just giving me a bunch of assh*Les to root for the deaths of, it puts me off.

Buy seriously, I like seeing irons fall on Daniel Stern's head as much as the next guy. I'm just kidding about HA.
