I don't understand the hatred towards this movie. I saw the original version a few years back and found it to be an entertaining and captivating movie. The American remake of this movie is identical (with a few updates for technology), and English speaking actors. I think the problem with "thriller" and "horror" movies these days is that we're so accustomed to the shock and gore that a psychological thriller is lost on most people. I think the experience of really putting yourself in the character's shoes is what really makes a movie, and this is what this movie delivers. If you found your ultimate moment of joy from watching Jason Vorhees take out a couple of campers you've never seen before while having sex, this isn't going to be the movie for you. This is an exercise in how people behave in an unexpected, awful and shocking situation. This is how real people react when but into a crazy situation. This isn't running and screaming deeper into the woods pursued by a madman. This movie delivers stress and chills, which is what horror truly is. There is no happy ending, there is no hero. Such is life. Learn to deal with it.
