Summary: A Horrible Assault on the Senses
Review: Ahhhhhhhhh! , this movie is still about as bad as movie horror can get. Sean S. Cunningham's Friday the 13th is the initial chapter of the horrible, horrendous, mindboggling, unforgivable, and unspeakably bad horror franchise that single-handedly killed the horror genre in the 1980's. This film is the epitome of lazy, moraless, unsophisticated, and pitiful filmmaking. Nothing more than a relocated generic remake of John Carpenter's classic Halloween minus any creativity. Friday bursts with one-dimensional performances, obvious plot trends, chessy non-thrills, excessive and unconvincing sex to distract the audience from a lack of a plot, and an onslaught of dated blood and guts that somehow spawned EIGHT SEQUELS! This movie is a shameful excuse for entertainment that is a disgrace to real moviemakers like Hitchcock and Craven. If you really believe this film is brillant or scarry, watch Tobe Hooper's Texas Chainsaw Masacre or Carpenter's Halloween to really see how inept and insulting this mess really is.Watch this movie at your own risk!

Summary: This movie ROCKS!
Review: Horror classic with 6 stupid camp councelors stumbling around in the woods and getting butchered for having sex, drinking, doing drugs, the kind of stuff they told you about in SCREAM. This movie ROCKS! It's a little boring and poorly made at times, but it's very entertaining! Definately a 3 P movie: Popcorn, Pizza, and Pepsi.

Summary: GREAT CLASSIC TEEN SCREAM FLIK
Review: When I first saw this film as a teen in movie theaters it spooked me for 2 years (I was a summer camp counselor and petrified after "meeting" Jason and his wacko mom on screen!) The image of that girl in the opening scenes with her throat slit open by the tree stuck with me for ages.Years later, the only thing this film has lost is the initial shock value of not knowing what is around the next corner. It's still wicked fun! Its idea was fresh and heart pounding (too bad so many lousy sequels followed it) and it's still good for an amusing night with friends when you're in the moody for a silly scare! It was also cool to see a young Kevin Bacon. He sure has come a long way since becoming a human blood fountain in that scene!

Summary: truly a masterpiece
Review: what can i say? this film is truly a masterpiece as far as the art of horror is concerned. a low-budget film made way back in 1980 which would pave the way for what would be to come in the next 10 yrs is truly revolutionary. sure jason himself wasn't the star of the show but mrs. voorhees was more than able enough to be able to carry out the deeds which her son would take up later on in the films. even though the film is considered mild in comparison to the rest of the series, it doesn't necessarily have to be gruesome to claim the title of a masterpiece which is what it does.

Summary: An obvious slasher film with serious ambitions
Review: A couple of idiotic hornballs become fillet at a summer camp. Unappealing characters, lack of plot(only a little bit), gratuitous gore, and utter predictability sink this one. It's only it's influence and Manfredini's notorious score that make it worth a peek. Followed by way too many sequels.

Summary: slasher classic and the DVD is semi-UNCUT!
Review: of course you should all know by now what this movies about. so i won't bother explaining it.YOU HAVE GOT to see the dvd-sure it says it r-rated, but in truth this is acually semi UNCUT-why semi? it's still missing about 5 seconds total of gore from Bacons death-but other than that theres ALOT more blood in many of the death scenes-blood gushes up from Kevs neck,sprays all over, marcy falls against the wall and slids down when she gets axedand annie gets her throat slit onscreen and very bloody-all those were cut/toned down in theatres and video and seemed very tame(compared to the sequels) but this movie is still graphic and shocking once you see it with all the gore intact.A CLASSIC and the dvd looks AWSOME-great pic and sound, and finally in widescreen-2 COOL!

Summary: tomsfriday 13th review
Review: Friday the 13th, you may think this is a boring, out of date film WRONG it is great. It is filled with suspense, and nerve. It is really scary, full of blood and gore with an unusual game of monopoly, the film gets really scary when the killer is revealed, original and scary this is a fantastic film where a hidden horror lurks around every corner......

Summary: Very good - for curing insomnia
Review: A group of teenagers stay in a camp which has been re-opened again after many years and, one by one, are stalked and then killed by an unseen killer. Even for a slasher film this is pretty lame. The characters are all either so irritating or so stupid that we really couldn't care less what happens to them, completely defeating any kind of suspense or drama. The grief-plagued, enraged Mrs Voorhees comes across as the only interesting character and dominates her every scene. But the last fifteen minutes of this bore can't make up for the endless tedium leading up to it.

Summary: For a slasher movie without brains, this is great.
Review: Of course no slasher films are art house fare but this movie did make an impact. I first saw it at the theater and it did manage to scare, especially the ending. Some good atmosphere and some campy dialogue.
