........And as long as people keep running out and buying the dvd's they will keep churning out shit for us to wallow in...not me.

OUCH .... you clever sod... you got me, bro.
I'm one of those "wallowers" and bought the Wrong Turn 4 blu ray. Well.... don't I feel like a dumb ass. At least I have since gotten rid of it. LOL.

And why not (make another sequel). With every new dawn comes new hope, or in the horror sequel business.... with every new sequel comes new hope that they'll hire a director who actually GIVES A SH*T !!!  After all... Friday 6 was pretty damn good for that series... having followed the crap that was Part 5.

Hey, let them go for it.  I can choose to either watch or not watch, and if it's good, they'll eventually get my money.  I was just commenting that sequels are almost always dependent on the perceived profit potential (i.e. why there is no Waterworld 2 ).  Well, at least in the Hollywood world; many independents out there make horror films out of a love for the genre and the craft (ahem, Acey).

I'm not sure if I completely agree with Garden about steering the course, though.  Of course it depends on what your definition of "veering off the course" is.  Was NoES 'Dream Warriors' off course?  Fun film, but was that on or off course?  Look at Halloween & F13th starting going all over the place later on, which was fun just in how odd it got compared to the original(s).  Even for once sequel, 'House of the Dead' to HotD 2 went straight to left field (Uwe Boll, the best horror director of all time)(where is the sarcasm tag?).    Still waiting for Myers and Freddy in space, though.

It's not one of those "mimic things". Mimicry is the learned imitation of another's  appearance, behaviour, sound, scent, or action. It's not the learned ability of operating machinery. But don't take my word for it. Why not watch Top Gun and then try to fly an F-16. You wouldn't even be able to find the cockpit latch. LOL.

Yeah but driving a car is very easy.  You press a pedal and steer.  And yes, I would try flying a jet like in Top Gun just from watching it.  I'd just need to know where the eject button is and how to use my parachute lol

Doesn't matter how good it is.  If it makes money, Part 5 will be on its way.  We chuckle at the 80s series of movies that had way too many sequels; I think we're looking at the current new wave of those.  Saw, Cabin Fever 3/4, Wrong Turns.  Probably missing one or 2 other series.

I could be wrong (hey, when am I right?  heh ), but [remakes + sequels] > [new mainstream horror].

Every good series has a Friday part 5 or Halloween 3.  I'm the guy that as long as a series continues, it is cool if it strays from what is core and beloved.  I'm cool with more Wrong Turn movies and to what Azzy said about Cabin Fevers....I don't know how I feel about 3 or 4.  2 was OK but just lacked what made 1 great and that's good old fashioned horror.  (not like true old fashioned but it had elements of it)

I loved the movie a lot.  Just some logic of it that doesn't make sense.  Like, the mutants let everyone go free and they all escaped, where did they go?  Why didn't the mutants follow?  How come no one came to rescue the hospital that obviously didn't respond to anything?  Those holes flaw the story a good amount but I look past it as the gore more than made up for it.

Story and character logic are a whole new set of WTF-were-they-thinking issues. Aside from the ones you pointed out... I will just add... where the fnck did these cannibals learn to drive snowmobiles and do tricks with them????

Hey man... I'm all for outrageousness in films, even goofiness, but you can't just shoe horn that stuff into the story randomly for a scene or two. That's just plain stooopid.

Good call Bunsh
