I can't stand Roth, or Wan for that matter, and you're right its not Bousman's or Marshall's style, but would you not want to see F13 done by Neil Marshall cause I sure as hell would. My tops would be Bustillo and Maury from "Inside," which I feel has set the bar for slasher films everywhere. Another obvious choice is Adam Green (duh) or Lynch for that matter, yes, the Splat Pack. How about Michael Dougherty or Toby Wilkins, the duo from REC, Jonathan Levine, Robert Hall (although I haven't seen Laid to Rest but come on it looks amazing), hell even the guys that did the HNWJ doc. Not that Nispel did a bad job, his directing saved the hell out of that script, but now that Jason is back I want someone that grew up with him or that truly loves the genre to get a crack at it.

Eli Roth? Cabin Fever was mediocre, Hostel was eh and Hostel 2 was a remake of the first film, basically. Aja? This F13 was similar to his Hills have Eyes Remake in terms of style. James Wan? Dead Silence was disappointing, though Death Sentence was good. Bousman? I don't think I want to see him with an F13 movie, even though he's a great guy. Neil Marshall? Not sure if he's right for a Jason movie. I'd be down for maybe Aja or Marshall. Other than that, the "new blood" or "Splat Pack" is basically a bunch of guys who had one good horror movie followed by a bad follow up. Who do you consider the "new blood?" Eli Roth?
