Didn't care to much for the theatrical version, but I loved the Killer cut extended edition. 99.9% of the crap on television is more disturbing than this picture. ALL KIDS SHOULD GO AND RENT THE "KILLER CUT" on Blue-ray. It's the parents of todays generation keeping them in a bubble and spoiling them. Not letting them grow up and experience life for themselves, not allowing them to fail. "Everyone has to pass and succeed" It's this very attitude that has weakened this country as a whole! The Friday the 13th franchise has done more for the religious right in this country than "Jesus" ever has. Yet, Moms of america keep protesting these films or tell other people not to see them. It's "morally wrong","drug use","sex","bad language" and there were no "good role models". Well, I was under the impression that the parents were supposed to be the role models. Not Movies, pop stars, actors, sports figures, or "The Bible"! Parents in this country need to wake up to the real world we actually are living in today! More actual real blood has been spilt over the Bible, Qu-ran, and the Torah than there's ever been in a Friday film! These movies teach kids and teens alike to survive no matter what the cost! To believe in yourself, never give up, and fight back until you can't fight anymore! To look death in the face and not be afraid! That's all we are in this country anymore, "is afraid". We as a people are scared to death in the age of terrorism! Personally, I started watching horror films when I was 4 years old. I turned out fine, and I have succeeded in almost every task I've set my mind to. College graduate, 4 years active duty Marine, honorably discharged, and now I am a public servant. It was because of my father allowing me to see films like these that made me realize at a very young age, that unless your rich "life is hard and painful". Most of it is an uphill climb that you can never back down from, especially from a guy in a hockey mask!
