Wow. Friday the 13th is actually pretty awful. The whole story is about people separating themselves from the group and then getting killed. There is no character development or meaningful interactions between anyone or even much backstory, just people getting killed. This pattern becomes predictable and even laughable. The only reason I'm rating it this high is because of the horror icon that this film "created."

'Friday The 13th (1980)' has an inherent, scrappy charm to it that's enhanced precisely because it is a little rough around the edges, coming off the coveted coat-tails of low-budget horror-thrillers like Halloween (1978). Yet, the feature does fall victim to the usual faults that plague this genre and actually creates some new problems for itself, all of which stem from the fact that much of the run-time is dedicated to hiding the killer that's on the loose. Despite the sometimes lacklustre acting - though here it's actually considerably better than it could have been - and restrictive camera-work, the movie manages to maintain a persistent level of engagement by including a number of grisly killings, made all the more believable by Tom Savini's impressive prosthetic work, and relying upon a central conceit that's rather interesting considering what it sets up and subsequently subverts, even if it is handled somewhat poorly in the end-product. 6/10

Friday the 13th is my favorite horror movie ever (im only 11). I may be 11 but doesn't mean i haven't seen a horror movie and this ones my favorite. but anyway lets get into the movie!!!!so we start our film in 1958 were 2 counselor's are killed by mystery person. we then skip to 1979 June 13th. here we meet Annie who gets killed in the first half an hour....so once weave met all our friends for the next hour we have some time till poor old Ned walks into a cabin and dies. so then a huge storm comes and begins the night of Friday the 13th... so at this point is when we see the teens get killed off one by one.so when Alice is the only one left a fun jeep appears with a fun face!! the films middle aged woman Mrs Voorhees who brags on and on about what happened to her boy Jason (warning major spoiler ahead don't continue if you don't want it spoiled)so then we find out shes the killer and she is going to kill Alice so for the next 15 Min's we see Alice run away until Alice has had it and chops Mrs voorhees head off...so then she goes out on a boat on the lake but a boy called Jason pops out and pulls her under. but this is only a dream (or is it) but in fact she wakes in a hospital bed and boom the end!now i love this movie as much as a nightmare on elm street and Halloween but for me this ones my favorite but we have many sequels to come hehehehe but for one final conclusion i love this movie to bits!

A group of camp counselors are stalked and murdered by an unknown assailant while trying to reopen a summer camp which, years before, was the site of a child's drowning. From the many horror films of the 80's i think that this is without a doubt the worst of them all. The marketing is out of place with the Poster where it makes you think that it's Jason who kills all of those kids but in fact it's his mother, the acting is terrible, the kills are predictable (poor Kevin Bacon). The characters are thin and the overall story is boring of course the Franchise became worse with each installment but this one i think it's very overrated as it is. And the fact that a bunch of teenagers can't kill an old woman makes it even more ridiculous and if there's a good thing about it? It's the final shot of Jason getting out of the water and drag a woman inside the water but other than that? It's not something special to brag about. (0/10)
