Friday the 13th - Part 1

Pros: Chilling, thrilling...a classic
Cons: None

Camp Crystal Lake, a peaceful , quiet, camp ground with a pure crystal lake as the name fits so well was always so down to earth. The type of place where you would want to run away to for a while. But on a dreadful day when young Jason drowned in the...

Pros: It's fun to see fake murders.
Cons: Most of the sequels and the countless ripoffs that followed.

For most movie addicts, there are several movies they can pinpoint as milestones; movies they saw when they were young, movies they saw when they weren't allowed to see them, and especially movies in which an assembly line of cardboard characters are...

Pros: A classic horror film, with just enough blood and gore.
Cons: Fans of Jason may be disappointed.

This is the movie that started it all. A classic in the horror genre, Friday the 13th provides plenty of chills and gore to appease even the most picky of horror fans.

When a young boy drowns at Camp Crystal Lake, the local summer camp, bad...

Pros: Friday is widely acclaimed to have the most horrifying, murder sequences for its time.
Cons: Jason fans beware you will NOT see the murderous one in this original.

Friday is widely acclaimed to have the most horrifying, and creative murder sequences for its time. Filmed with a small $700,000 dollar budget, the movie actually stayed in theaters for almost an entire year! To gross an unexpected $40 million dollars,...

Pros: Classic, pretty scary, gory, and pretty good acting.
Cons: the shots were not to good, and there is some other stuff.

I of course own this movie, because its one of the best. Its a little simialer to the second, because you don't know who the killer is util the end. Mrs. Voorhees however was an excellent killer. She new what she was doing. This one was a big mystery, ...

Pros: Despite It's Low Quality Everything It's Still Entertaining
Cons: Most People Loathe Friday the 13th

There are few to no movies that by themselves pretty much define a whole era of cinema history in th ...

Pros: Unrated, Uncensored, Uncut
Cons: picture was grainy, and washed out

As I have stated in the title, I have come to be wondering around the net, and I stumbled upon ebay. On the site, they were selling an UNCUT, UNRELEASED, UNRATED, version on Friday the 13th on Laser Disc. Low and behold, I have a laser disc player....

Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing

Friday the 13th was one of great chain of horror movies but like everything it had to come to an end oddly enough it hasn't people still make crappy sequels but the new one coming out might have some promise like when rob zombie redid Halloween was ...

Pros: Classic Horror Movie Slasher with Great Ending
Cons: Victims are stupid, but they always are!

This movie is, and should be considered one of the best horror movies of all time. This movie, (and Halloween) set the principles that most past and current horror movies revolve around. Some one gets killed, and then more people start dying based on...

Pros: The horror movie that started it all
Cons: The whole story was not told in the movie

I don’t think there is one true horror movie fan that has not seen the horror movie of all horror movies. The horror movie that pretty much started it all, “Friday the 13th.” Even if someone didn’t see the actual movie, I am sure that they have heard...

Pros: Great story, has lots of suspense and scary moments. Cool deaths and special effects.
Cons: None.

"Friday the 13" is the ultimate 80's horror movie. As we all know the 80's were full of horror/slasher movies. Most of them were duds. But one I think stood out the most. It was Friday the 13th. What I think is one of the best horror films of the 80's....

Pros: Decent plot, dark cinematography, above-average direction, great gore, wonderful ending, great special effects.
Cons: Mediocre acting, not enough character development, Marcie's boobs just aren't big enough.

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 ...

Pros: Incredible music, photography and suspense
Cons: Inconsistent acting; film has aged in many ways

So many words have been written about Sean S. Cunningham's Friday the 13th over the years that I question why I should bother adding my own two cents to the mix. What else needs to be said? Certainly everyone already knows that this oft-imitated...

Pros: Lots of atmosphere and suspense, great death scenes.
Cons: Slow-paced, might be boring to some, almost no Jason Voorhees.

When it comes to slasher films of the most primal kind, the Friday The 13th series is arguably the most popular. Whereas Halloween focused on the suspense and tension and had rock-solid character development, and A Nightmare On Elm Street featured ...

Pros: Scarey!
Cons: None

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...
