Summary: Badly Made Horor movie
Review: Friday The 13th features bad acting, bad directing, bad script, bad cinematography, etc.Why do I give it 3 stars? Probably because Friday the 13th is what it is, no apologies required.In a age of political correctness this movie is a nostalgic breath of fresh air.This is a good mindless movie that is fun to watch on Halloween or just a rainy cold night when you are home alone. I watched it last night and started hearing noises around the house.... If you like this, get Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Halloween, they are about 20 times better than this. ... .

Summary: The most mysterious movie in the series
Review: The original "Friday the 13th" might not be the best movie of the movie series, but it's not bad. Some teenagers decide to take a break and have fun at Camp Crystal Lake, a place that has been closed for years because of several mysterious murders by an unknown killer. Everybody warns the teens about the place, but they don't listen. Soon, they start disappearing one by one. The teens must do something before they all get killed.

This first installment of "Friday the 13th" features an appearance from Jason's mom, Mrs. Voorhees (Betsy Palmer), to give the movie a twist that the others in the series didn't have. Everything about the movie is good. It has good special effects, an effective storyline, some classic music and background sounds, and it has good suspense in parts. If you like good horror movies, I recommend getting "Friday the 13th."

Summary: Gives a Good Scare
Review: The first installment of the Friday the 13th movies was really not as good as the 2nd, in my opinion, but it was good nontheless. I don't know what it was. This movie was creepy, though. The scene in the jeep, the pouring rain scenes, the final scene, all were great. If you want a good scare, this movie will give it to you. Believe me, the movies after number 2 were not nearly as good (except number 6, for some reason.)

Summary: The worst!
Review: I'm not sure to give it 2 or 3 stars, but decieded to go with 3. It's actually rather boring. A few kids go to Crystal Lake Camp for the summer, and there they get killed one by one. I'm sure you all know who the killer is, but I will keep the secret for you who has not seen the movie. (It's NOT f**kin' Jason) The movie is really low-budget, and the colors are really dark, but the gore is good (Tom Savini) so...an extra star for that. Nice too have seen it though

Summary: Best of the Worst
Review: Of all the horror movie series, "Friday the 13th" is notorious for being the worst. But, if like many of us out there, you are a die-hard slasher-flic fan, and you have to see one of these, see this one. It has the most solid plot line, with a wonderful ending that defeats the "Jason Vorhees" stereotype. Kevin Bacon's role in this movie is classic (but no good if you want to play the 6-Degrees Game). When watching this one, enjoy it for all it is, because after this one, it is all down hill. (And yet they keep making more. Look for "Jason X" in 2001)

Summary: A must see for any movie fan!
Review: If you only see one of the friday the 13th movies make it pt 1. Even though this friday lacks the presence of jason it still remains my favorite of the series. This movie is set around a camp being reopened after a series of murders back in the 50's at the same camp. And as the new councelors work to rebuild the camp before its reopening they one by one meet the same fate as the councelors before them. I peticularly like this movie for the creepy camp setting and cool murder sequences. If your a horror fan this is a must see.

Summary: The start of an epic series.
Review: Should this movie get 5 stars? Hell yes! It started the Friday the 13th series. It's not the best in the series of nine (next year it will be the series of ten), but it is still a pretty awesome movie. Any fan of the series should own this. If you have a DVD player, get the DVD version. It has better quality and extended deaths. NOTE: Make sure to see Jason X next April

Summary: If you survive, you'll wake up feeling groggy on Saturday
Review: The simplest of all horror movie plots: 6 dumb, sex-crazed teens go into the woods but they don't come back.

A summer camp with a history of tragedies is going to be re-opened by 6 teens who are hired to fix the place up. But a former cook who's son drowned some time before the story takes place decides that the camp should never be opened again and takes her revenge.

Campy fun for the whole family! But, the video version is hampered by the death scenes being cut or cut short.

Summary: More, More, More
Review: A great DVD to buy but lets see the whole series released in some kind of Box Set like the Nightmare on Elm St collection which is a must for any DVD fan. I'd like to see more extras though and not just a trailer, but if it's just a Digital Jason your craving for then this is for you.

Summary: Great sleep over flick!
Review: I have grown up with the Friday the 13th movies, I always watched them at slumber parties and stuff like that. Watching the original makes me nostalgic. It's probably one of the better ones in the series.

The film doesn't have a lot of plot but some of the scenes are quite chilling, especially the creepy bathroom scenes "chh chh chh ha ha ha". The acting by the unknown teen cast is just passable, some of the dialogue is kinda cheezy, but it is worth sticking around for the 15 minute finale alone. It is my favourite part of the whole movie when Betsy Palmer delivers her unforgetable, over the top performance as Mrs Voorhees. Its funny how you watch a bunch of amateurs acting for most of the movie and then along comes Palmer, she has more talent in her little finger than the rest of the cast put together, pity she wasn't given a bigger role, she deseves more.

I like Halloween much better but this is pretty good, I will always have a place on my shelf for Friday the 13th.
