Friday The 13th is A Masterful Experience In Sheer Terror.Suspenseful,Atmospheric And Most of All Frightening.

My favorite movie of all time.With my name being Jason it hooked me from the get go and of course my friends always attach me with the movie in some twisted way but does that make me demented hhmm.

a classic slasher flick but not the best


Posted By: dherna7704 at 12:14pm, October 9, 2008

i see why its a classic but it wasnt for me


Posted By: downward_spiral at 3:28pm, October 6, 2008

What a classic. One of the best slasher films.


Posted By: Protecious at 12:48pm, October 1, 2008

one of the all time classics, and quite possibly helped mainstream-ize slasher films in the 1980s, but halloween obviously helped as well.
fun seeing kevin bacon in the film.
the only real major problem that i would have fixed is to have inserted betsy palmer (pamela vorhees) some place in the film to at least have her in the line of suspects...i dont understand that one still. but still is a blast of a film and definatly one of the best horror films of all time.

Excellent..

One of the best horror movies of all time.


Posted By: halloweenfan at 3:45pm, August 20, 2008

It would of been better if they wouldn't of copied Halloween so much. I thought the movie had its moments but not as great as it is made out to be.


Posted By: DiegOmen16 at 9:33pm, August 14, 2008

YES a sequel to halloween OOOH! wait this isnt part of the halloween series what a copy cat shit but dont get me wrong i did liked this movie specially because jason wasnt the killer(you know because hes been in alot of crappy sequels but hes good anyway) and it got great suspense,blood and gore and it did was scary.


Posted By: PromNight2008 at 6:12pm, August 13, 2008

Definitely a classic, but not the best in the series.

I was never a fan of slasher films, mainly because I always found them cheesy or typical. And though they are, generally, I can’t help but thank them for the landmarks they made in horror and in cinema in general. Friday the 13th certainly deserves credit for this.

It was the first camp-themed horror movie, which played into the memories that most of us had at camps as kids. I can still remember that feeling of being watched as I was alone in a camp dorm, and laying there thinking something was under my bed, which amazed me when the arrow came through the bed in this movie. Easily the most memorable part.

Also, the idea of not having Jason as the original killer was ingenious. Just everything about the movie was ingenious, and it deserves the classic status it has.

Age has given it a layer of cheese, but if I had grown up in its time I’m sure it would have been one of my favorite movies, period. It defied generational clichés (who was really killing), created an entire new horror setting (the camp), and solidified the slasher structure and gave it a meaning (sex killed Jason, essentially). This is a landmark in punk entertainment for its time. I appreciate it now, but as I said, the layer of cheese is still there. It’s not perfect anymore. Maybe the remake will fix that.

LOVE IT!

One of the greatest horror films ever. Friday the 13th is obviously the original most popular and easily the best campground horror film. The score was great it'll make you jump when you just never expect it like the ending when we heard that happy like ending theme then all of a sudden we see Jason on the big screen for the first time.

Ch,Ch,Ch Ha,Ha,Ha is one of the most if the most memorable thing about a horror film Mrs. Voorhees did great the teenagers were basically typical so the acting was not good. This is one of those films that you grow up with better than most of the sequels Friday the 13th is a true classic.

Along with Halloween and A Nightmare on Elm Street Friday the 13th is one of those films that is impossible to not be forgotten.

Friday The 13th is definitely one the best slasher films of all time! It is beautifully created, set, and scored. The characters are the typical kinds of characters that you would find in a slasher film. The music is pulsing and creepy. And the ending with Jason jumping out of the water always makes me jump no matter how many times I have seen the film. This film really kick-started not just the series itself, but all the many slasher films that were produced in the 80's.

One of the greatest horror movies of all time. The ending was a huge twist. A definite classic.


Posted By: Anthropophagus at 5:02am, August 2, 2008

The most depressingly overrated horror film. The only, and I mean ONLY thing this film has going for itself is a creepy atmosphere and some suspenseful scares, the rest of the film really is nothing more than appallingly acted and filmed garbage.


Posted By: Slayer6(sic)6 at 12:20pm, July 27, 2008

I completely agree with Domino19. Classic...


Posted By: strangerslover at 4:00pm, June 21, 2008

my 10th favorite horror movie ever.


Posted By: Domino19 at 3:28am, June 7, 2008

Its one of those movies that are classics and get better wit age.


Posted By: jpugly13 at 8:52pm, June 2, 2008

This movie is excellent. One horror movie that is really rewatchable. This movie has some great death scenes and the tension is done very well. A classic.


Posted By: sixxchik at 5:21pm, May 16, 2008

this is my favorite movie of all time! its so good, i love to watch it up at my cabin during a late summers night, it really creeps me out :)


Posted By: jpeenut at 11:57am, April 11, 2008

one of the best movies ever made period

Sean S. Cunningham did one noble thing in his quest for greed and fame... 'Friday the 13th'.

First, I love this series dearly. I grew up with it, I still watch it frequently, and I invite anyone and everyone I know to experience them. And while the first trip to Camp Crystal Lake isn't the best, it's still the first, and for that it gets skull-fucked ten-times over.

If you don't know the story of this series already, you should be drown in a lake while wearing short-shorts. Negligent camp counselors let a severely retarded camper drown while they experience each other's adolescent genitalia. Someone hack/slashes their way through those horny counselors, and "Camp Blood" closes its doors. Years later, a wide-eyed group of early-80's hairdos is working to re-open it, but little do they know someone is waiting to ring the teen body-count bell.

This is essentially 'Halloween' in the woods with camp counselors instead of babysitters. The group of kids here is highly forgettable, but it just doesn't matter here because all we want is the splattering to commence. Surely enough, it does... big time.

We have spearings/axe murders/knifings/decapitations/archery mishaps... even a garden snake gets douched! The film is a hoot from beginning to end. Gether up a bunch of alcohol, and some friends capable of witty commentary, and you have a memorable evening ready to be had.

This is a wonderful start to a fantastic horror series. Nothing captures the feel of 80's horror quite like the 'Friday the 13th' series.

Enjoy!

I have just recently brought the Friday the 13th: Crustal Lake from Manhattan boxset, and I have just finished watching the 1st movie.

I was excited to start this movie even though many old horror movies don't excite me. The only old horror movies that have excited me have been the texas chainsaw massacre series and the original Halloween. Anyway all in all I enjoyed this movie. It was fun to watch and see the characters have fun and than die. The deaths were bloody for a 1980 movie and waere cool.

I also liked that Jason was not the original killer. I was glad to hear his name mentioned though so it seemed like he just wasnt made up for the sequel. Mrs. Vorhhez I thought was to weak at the end. She got knocked out about 3 times. What go me at the end though was when the girl ws in the boat looking at the police when Jason jumped out of the lake and pulled her in. I thought she was dead.

All in all this movie was good. Wasn't extremely good but I liked it!
