This was one of the weirdest movies I have ever seen but it was so funny that it didn't really matter. I was laughing the whole time.

SATURDAY THE 14TH is an incredibly cheesy horror spoof made back in 1981. The scattershot approach sees a couple inhabiting an old spooky house which seems to be the meeting point for various monsters, generally played by guys in rubber suits. Morose vampire Jeffrey Tambor hangs around a lot while Richard Benjamin plays it straight as the hero and comes across as a real dweeb. The film spoofs various recent genre hits including Friday the 13th, Poltergeist and The Evil Dead, but the gags are really overdone and very silly for the most part; this is definitely a kid's film made at the level of kids from beginning to end. I found it rather silly and also rather irritating.

A cheap mockery of a Mel Brooks piece, Saturday the 14th will leave you yawning in your seat. The cartoon credit sequence leaves you wondering if somehow your watching the opening to a Scooby Doo knock off and it doesn't get any better from there. The story, the acting, the jokes are just dreadful. The monsters themselves look as bad as a costume you might buy at Wal - Mart on Halloween. This movie barely got a chuckle out of me.Most of the time I found myself laughing because of how bad the movie actually was. Save yourself the time and effort and just skip watching Saturday the 14th. You would have more fun letting a goat defecate in your mouth.

this is a spoof of other movies of that era,some horror,some not.i found it silly more than anything,and at times it denigrates into near stupidity.i was able to watch the whole movie,though it is quite slow at times.it does have some mildly amusing moments,coupled with some intentionally(or not)ultra cheap special effects,and some really bizarre looking monsters,some even stupid looking.this movie definitely inspired other movies down the road,some good,some bad. there isn't really anything resembling acting in the movie,except for Richard Benjamin who is quite good as the unflappable(or clueless)father who doesn't bat an eye,no matter what bizarre happenings are occurring right under his nose.he is quite amusing at times.otherwise,there is a lot of screaming and running around.For me,"Saturday the 14th" is a 5/10
