Campfire That Would Burn A Hole In Horror History...

Date of Review:  Apr 14, 2009
The Bottom Line: Recommended to the few horror fans that havn't seen it. Don't expect a lot, but it's still worth it.
Review: Friday the 13th is a film that has more flaws than pros, whether or not hardcore Friday fans like to admit it. The movie has the word "flaw" written all over it, yet I still enjoy watching it. I am a fan of 80s slasher movies, and Friday the 13th is...

The archetypal 80's horror hit

Date of Review:  Sep 20, 2006
The Bottom Line: One of the most fondly remembered of the now-forgotten slasher generation, its also one of the best.
Review: Friday the 13th is not unique. There are hundreds of movies out there with the same premise - teenagers who indulge in sex & fun by the lake get butchered by some avenging-maniac. Most of these movies are shockingly poor efforts at film-making, few...

Friday 13th: The beginning of a legend

Date of Review:  May 4, 2000
The Bottom Line: This film is legendary in it's own right. A must see for anyone who hasn't already.
Review: In 1980, director Sean Cunningham brought us a slasher film that would spawn a huge series of maniacal, relentless bloodletting.

Friday the 13th takes us to Camp Crystal Lake, a property that has become cursed by local folklore and bad...

The Suspense Shocker That Started The Whole Series

Date of Review:  Jul 20, 2000
Review: The original "Friday The 13th" movie is a good suspense shocker that started the whole series and inspired a lot of other stories, films, and series. The original was directed by Sean S. Cunningham himself. He also directed the last film in this...

Let's Get This Straight, the Whole Series?

Date of Review:  Jan 2, 2002
The Bottom Line: These movies are a great lesson in what film making should not be.
Review: I am going to attempt to dicipher the entire string of movies. I spent a week watching all the Friday the 13th movies(including Jason goes to Hell) at the pace of one a night. There was a marathon on one of the pay channels that let us watch the...

Friday The 13th

Date of Review:  Oct 13, 2000
Review: There are movies that set the pace of cult status, in the horror movie genre, and this was one of them. I sincerely doubt that when this was made, they knew what they had in it. This is the king of the slasher movies, making way for something more...

An Adequate Cult Classic

Date of Review:  Feb 13, 2009
The Bottom Line: -------------
Review: Friday the 13th is an unimpressive production that nevertheless gets the job done. No one would ever mistake it for high art, yet considering its quite-modest aspirations, it fulfills its obligations more often than not. The name of the game here is...

Date of Review:  Aug 6, 2007
The Bottom Line: There's a lot more than meets the eye in Friday the 13th (1980).
Review: This film was Sean Cunningham's Friday the 13th, an obvious cash-in on the coattails of the success of John Carpenter's "king of all slashers" Halloween, released two years earlier in 1978. This sounds like a bad thing, but it really isn't anything...

Friday The 13th: Campy Horror at Camp Crystal Lake

Date of Review:  Jul 28, 2003
The Bottom Line: Despite it's bad rep, Friday the 13th Is An Enjoyable Movie That You Should Give a Chance.
Review: There are few to no movies that by themselves pretty much define a whole era of cinema history in the horror genre, but the few movies that have accomplished this definitely deserve to be recognized. Amongst these movies are Alfred Hitchcock's...
