Summary: My Review for College
Review: I found this film entertaining but I think it was severely overrated. This film did do a few things for some of the cast however. It introduced Kevin Bacon for the first time ever who went on to star in such films as Murder in The First, River Wild. I also thought that Betsy Palmer was brilliant as Mrs. Voorhees. But what I was disapointed about was the fact that it's sequels made no sense whatsoever after the first two. This film spawned a massive eight sequel and is due for a tenth instalment in the year 2000. Although filmwriters are having problems with the script (Freddy Versus Jason) sounds a bit too incredible to me don't you think? Anyway, overall I found this film your 'average slasher movie' some of it's sequels appaling but it is nevertheless, watchable...

Summary: "Friday the 13th" not all unlucky...
Review: I love the premise of this movie: Isolate several hapless (and usually witless) young people in a woodsy, dark, creepy summer camp with a violent killer on the prowl. Sensitive viewers might want to beware: the murders are violent but by today's standards probably not shocking. Surprisingly, this isn't a sexist film, as the victims are equally male and female. Not a lot of other slasher films released around that time could make that claim. One complaint: The dialogue is awful. I understand that the screenwriter had no previous experience but was hired because the director owed him a favor. I saw this recently at a midnight show and the audience laughed like hell at some of the lines. Nonetheless, I heard much more screaming than laughing, so if this is your cup of tea, go for it.

Summary: oh boy!
Review: a completely ovious movie where teens get slashed to hash. a pointless movie about kids getting killed. The only reason I gave this movie a 2 star is because it does a good job on the blood.

Summary: Friday the 13th
Review: The first in the series. Counselers re-open Camp Crystal Lake, after the Jason Vorhees drowning. But someone tries to stop them... Jason's mom! Credible for being the first, Jason makes a apearence in the end. Jason's mom get decapitated...not as good as the other sequels.

Summary: A "HalloweeN" copycat!
Review: I have to admit, this is probably one of the most frightening horror flicks of the 80's but i mean, come on! They copied John Carpenter's Halloween! A psychopathic killer terrorizing a bunch of kids! If you want to get the 'good' scary feeling of a movie, rent or buy Halloween before you see Friday the 13th, you'll know what I mean.

Summary: Great!
Review: I've always been into scary movies and this is one of the best. Beleive me this is not a copy of halloween, maybe the ones with jason were but the only thing thats copyed is a masked killer.Micheal never used an axe or michete till part 6. And in that case scream, I know what you did last summer and just about every other slasher movie is too

Summary: campy fun(pun intended)
Review: Amateurish dialogue, hot love scenes, gory murder attacks, and the fact that it copied ''Halloween''. Just sit back and laugh! The DVD could've used more extras though.

Summary: The movie is great, but the DVD sucks!!!
Review: What a bunch of crap. I hate paramount! They have, perhaps the most popular horror movie of the past 20 years and what do they do when they put it on a DVD? ---> add a trailer and release it... What a bunch of crap. All the other classics are getting special editions and having tons of extras, but all of us Friday the 13th fans get is a trailer. Do not buy this DVD! You are wasting your money! Just get the VHS version...

Summary: great film on DVD
Review: After owning Friday the 13th on VHS for a number of years. I decided to buy it on DVD and I have to say its better on DVD. The widescreen format and color and sound is excellent! I prefer the second Friday the 13th but this comes pretty close. I just wish it had more features. Like commentary and a featurette. The trailer is ok. Out there is a friday the 13th Japanese print thats uncut! The DVD would have been 10 times better if they added uncut material! Does anybody agree with me? When Annie gets it in the woods, the killing is slightly different to the VHS release.
