I think it's supposed to be the last night at camp, so the others have already gone home earlier that day or something?
Bernadette was the first victim, Ann was the killer. She only took out the ones who didn't show up for Ginny's party, so that excluded Amelia, Rudy, and the other blonde girl (Maggie?).
You answered your own question about the cut murder - the MPAA were cracking down on slasher film grue when this came out.
Were they heading anywhere with it though? It was just throwaway dialogue to give the characters a tiny bit of insight before they were shish-ka-bobbed.
Plus Vicky repeatedly told him to run while she was being stabbed.
Straight guys can't be into dance? Kids can't be curious about sex enough to Google it?? Guys fooling around has to be gay? Don't football players hug and kiss one another after a goal or touchdown?
I read that the surviving members weren't too happy that the film was so focused on Freddie, but then I was surprised how little they had to do in the final cut, God only knows what earlier drafts must have looked like!?
No it won't. I'm missing two fingers and can still play mean guitar.
Both 5 and 6 suck. Good FX and little else.
I think the idea stems from the never-produced Peter Jackson script for Freddy's Dead where the teens weren't scared of him anymore so weren't in any danger and could go kick his ass in their dreams.
Neither series was particularly reliable for its consistency though. As the other respondent points out, Jason was never scared of water in several earlier Friday sequels.
Yes, everyone else is insecure except you and the other 'normal males'.
As your ire seems solely directed at gay men, I think the only thing 'it comes down to' is some fragility in your ego, like if gays exist and - !OHMYGOD! - kiss each other, then it somehow negatively impacts your status as a man. Maybe it's you that has something you need to get over rather than yammering on.
It made all the dollars so am not surprised! Always impressed when they can get most of the cast back for a horror movie (even though it was more comedy over horror).
I think people missed this kind of horror - when was the last time a straight-up slasher film got a widespread release?
'Happy Death Day' was a diverting variant, obviously showed that audiences were hungry for more than the James Wan sanctioned ghost flicks, and, dare I say, too many superhero movies exploding with overwhelming action in the past decade. It's nice to see all that stripped back to the scares of a guy with a knife.
It'll fizzle out in a year or two as it always does though, after Jason and Freddy have had a look in.
"most likely because you don't like the fact that you are very small minority that for some reason wants to inflate your numbers"
'Inflate numbers'?? What are you smoking?
Sexual attraction is core and cannot be altered, you can't recruit or influence someone into being attracted to someone/something they're inherently not attracted to.
And why are you suddenly going on about population percentages!?
Maybe... but that wasn't the question I asked.
You don't want the film to pander to gay people/'snowflakes', but you want it to pander to 'normal males' lest it - gasp - challenge their view of the world?
Sounds more like you're the fragile snowflake in this equation.
I'd rather it be realistic and confronting to the audiences' perceptions rather than pander to mass market beigeness on the basis it might "offend some men". Nothing that was shown was remotely explicit anyway, and I'd imagine nobody would blink if two women were seen kissing, so those audience members just need to own up to their own prejudices.
Would you even have started this thread if he were heterosexual?
95% of the people in the showing I went to were middle aged straight couples, quietly tutting whenever something gay happened.
Exactly! As a 'Halloween' movie it's pretty stupid - mainly due to the explanation around the end of H20 - but as a slasher film it's fun enough. I just look at it as some kind of weird fan movie and divorce it from the others in my head, but now they've got so many timelines it's even more isolated.
I thought what Henry saw was how The Kid would have aged in his own time - 27 years older, which, if he too was 39 - would make him late 60s? I took this as an indication they were close to the portal and The Kid would age forward if he went back through, but it scared Henry too much.
