I enjoyed it as well, which seems wrong when you see what people have said on here about it in the past.

I waited ages to see it, and when I finally did, I was kind of "huh?"
A victim, as always, of my own expectations and other's hype. But I've seen it a few times over the years and it's really grown on me, just as a scuzzy exploitation / wannabe 'art' film rather than this "and now for the most nihilistic thing you'll EVER see"... which it isn't. Damn it Dem, another flick you've made me want to check out again, though.

And i'm enjoying reading the fruits of your efforts.

No I am not a fan of the remake. There are some great kills in Jason X but i just can not get into it. I will watch it again as i am working my way through the set.

I've really got to get up to speed with the Friday the 13th films. I've only ever seen the first two of the original films.
Am i right in thinking the US blu set is region locked?

No its region free i watched part 3 on my PS3 and i am watching the special features on the first one right now on my region 1 player.

Ooh thanks Nord, i didn't realise that. Dunno why, sure I'd read somewhere some of the films were locked.
