Friday the 13th (2009)
Exploitation through sequels
This movie was full of clichés (as one would expect), but was it any different from the previous Friday the 13th movies? I didn't think so. What is this fascination with sequels, especially one that is devoid of any imagination?
I love movies of all genres, be it thriller, comedy, action, drama, or horror. But I find it sad that the studios exploit audience's love for a hit movie through sequels just to make more money (I guess, that's the whole point of making movies). It's either sequels or reboots, and most of them are terrible. I can accept Nolan's use of sequels to complete Batman's story but I do not understand the whole point of a Spiderman reboot just a few years after Raimi's Spiderman. At least 'Scary movie' franchise makes fun of different movies in its sequels, keeping it fresh.
But to a certain extent, the audience have to be blamed for lapping up such movies, thus encouraging producers to continue to churn out crappy sequels.
