Summary: Rain and pain.
Review: This film remains a modern horror classic.I find it to have some scares and great chases as well.The main trouble is the horror genre has been so cliched its make the movie seem dated.The acting is a little [poor]for me.The one sequence that makes me laugh is outside the diner.The rain moves side to side!I also wish this studio would put this series in the widescreen format.That would improve the quality alot.I am a moderate fan of the series.

Summary: A Slasher Classic
Review: Friday the 13th isn't my favorite in the series but it's definitley a classic. I never could watch these movies as a kid and now that I can I've come to enjoy them. The effects make up for some of the bad acting ... . The scariest part of the movie is at the end. If you've never seen it I'd suggest you rent it to see what I'm talking about. I've seen it like 10 times and it still scares me. The only complaint I have about the DvD is there's no extras just a theatrical trailer.

Summary: Classic slasher from 1980
Review: I ended up revisiting this film after looking for a movie to watch from my DVD collection. Now for the record, this movie isn't exactly scary, but it's tense and suspenseful in many parts and the graphic gore effects still hold well 21 years after the film was released. The plot (yes, there is one), revolves around Camp Crystal Lake being reopened after many years of bad luck, in which a little boy has drowned, 2 counselors were murdered numerous fires and bad water. Seven counselors are hired to prep the camp for the kids, but an unseen killer starts offing them in various, disgusting ways. We have the traditional slashing of the throat, spear through the neck, axe in the face (which is my favorite!) and death in the archery range (need I say more). Many people say this isn't really a "classic", but I disagree. It's a classic in many ways, in that this was the first film to use really graphic gore effects to the fullest, and just the simple fact that this low-budget film spawned 8 sickening sequels is enough to make it a classic. I won't reveal the killer for those of you who have not seen the movie, but it's NOT Jason! This definitely made my list of my top 5 horror flicks of all time, so watch it and Part's 2 and 3 for a nice night of gore!

Summary: Truly Frightening Classic. Very Creepy.
Review: In 1978, John Carpenter made his own slasher classic, Halloween (which I also highley recommend), and soon after, many others were doing horror films. Where some "slasher" films are considered true classics (Halloween, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Silence Of The Lambs), and others are considered trash (I Know What You Did Last Summer, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, Urban Legends, The Slumber Party Massacre), this frightening 1980 film, Friday The 13th, is considered both of those things. While Leonard Maltin calls it trash and places it in the same column as The Slumber Party Masssacre, most horror film fans call it a classic. I would call it a classic as well. Producer/Director Sean S. Cunningham takes this rather simple film, and gives it a whole new dimension. He uses the camera in various different ways, and this works. Sometimes you see from the killer's point of view, and sometimes you see from a victoms point of view. And, of course, there's Harry Manfredini's unforgettable score. He uses creepy stalking sound, and loud, big chasing music (in fact, I think that this music should win an award!). Then there's the performances; quite good for a horror film. The actors that stand out particularly are Addriene King as Alice, Laurie Bartam as Brenda, and Kevin Bacon as Jack Burrell. The film begins at a popular camp, Camp Crystal Lake, in 1958, where two teenagers are murdered by an unseen psychopath. Four years later, people attempt to reopen, and the water is poisoned! Two years after that, reopening is tried once again, and there's a mysterious fire. It seems somebody is trying to keep people away from the camp, but noone, not one person, knows who's doing it! But, in 1979, after thing's have been quiet for many, many years, Steve Christy attempts a reopening, and spends a year fixing the place up, and getting it ready, spending more than 25,000 dollars. One year later, a group of seven counselors arrive to help get it ready for the season. Everything is going well until that night, when an unknown murderer arrives to kill those who dare come to this camp. Friday The 13th will keep you guessing to the very end who the killer is, and you'll be surprised when you find out! This DVD is quite good. The picture is remastered, and looks so much better than on the awful video. You get a 1:85:1 widescreen format and a theatrical trailer. As I said above, Friday The 13th is a classic, and don't listen to what Leonard Maltin says, because it is!

Summary: One Of The Best In The Series!
Review: Despite repeated warnings to stay away, a group of fun-loving but none-too-bright teenagers set out to reopen the eerie Camp Crystal Lake, which closed 20 years earlier after a series of bizarre and unexplained deaths. Now someone is lurking in the woods, spying on the happy campers, and plotting a gory, grisly revenge on those who would disturb the camp's slumber. This is the one that started it all. Eventhough I would prefer FRIDAY THE 13TH, PART 2 over the first one, I still feel this film deserves a lot of credit. It's known for ripping off HALLOWEEN, but I think it's quite original for a slasher flick, and the character developement is good, except the teens are kind of dumb. But if you review all of the FRIDAY THE 13TH films, you'll notice they get more dumb in every sequel. This would be one of my favourite FRIDAY THE 13TH films, along with the second, third, fourth, and sixth. The rest seem kind of pointless, especially FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VIII-JASON TAKES MANHATTAN. A good choice in horror films would be this one. It has lots of suspense, thrills, and a good mystery on who the killer is. But I would assume that after twenty-one years of being released, you already have a feeling who it is. I hope my review was helpful to you!

Summary: Friday the Thirteenth
Review: This flick great but not better than halloween. There is no special cast of actors in Friday the thirteenth. Story Line 9 1/2 of 10 Jason Vorhees drowned in Camped Crystal Lake while a bunch of conselors were fooling around so to speak. So strange murders start happening at camp crystal when it re-opens. This Flich has a strange ending so pay attention so you can fully enjoy it. I would suggest getting it but I feel the sequels are the better viewing choice. If you don't have a stomach for gore don't watch this.

Summary: A Lucky Day for Horror
Review: This is one of the earliest slasher films, made after the release of John Carpenter's terrifying masterpiece "Halloween". Director Sean S. Cunningham takes a simple campfire tale, and turns it into a blood-drenched scream-fest. A local businessman and seven teenage counselors decide to re-open Camp Crystal Lake, a.k.a. "Camp Blood", where 22 years ago two counselors were butchered a year after a young boy named Jason Voorhees drowned in the lake. Now, it's Friday the 13th, and the unknown, violent killer is stalking Camp Crystal Lake again. Gruesome murders and painfully suspenseful sequences follow--the best being the killer stalking Annie in the woods, and the final confrontation between survivor Alice and the depraved psychopath Mrs. Voorhees--out to avenge her son's death. The first time I saw this film, I jumped numerous times, and felt like screaming at the screen. Even though there is not much plot, that is not the point. The point of the film is to scare. And it succeeds. I actually saw this film on my birthday, Friday, June 13th, and that made it even more freaky. The acting is above par for this type of gore film, especially Adrienne King as the terrorized Alice and Betsy Palmer as the crazed Mrs. Voorhees. The music is very creepy, and the murders and make-up effects by Tom Savini are absolutely convincing. Once you reach the end of the film you will be screaming as Alice must go head-to-head with the evil Mrs. Voorhees in a thrilling, scary finale. But even after it's over, there is one more shock waiting for you--guaranteed to make you jump out of your seat. Watch this movie...but don't watch it alone!

Summary: Now this is horror
Review: If you want to watch a classic this is it. Very creepy, dark, and scary. all about camp counselors being killed by an unknown assailant at an unlucky camp. the killer turned out to be the mother of a boy who drowned years back in the lake. Of course that boy turned out to be, Jason Voorhees, who now is the biggers horror icon and the best horror villian of them all. Betsy Palmer is great as the killer, Mrs. Voorhees.
