Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

ifantasticat I love this series, the movies are not great but are cult classics, it's like going to a county fair, not great, but leaves a lasting impression. This film is great the graphics are amazing for 1980. Great twist having Pamela be the killer, too!

Tweetienator Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers are two of the most respectable murderous characters regarding slashing people. Of course, over the time we get a lot of mediocre and even bad sequels and prequels and whatever, but the first movies of both series are the essence of anything regarding the slasher-horror-genre.Friday the 13th was my king, Halloween the prince and A Nightmare on Elm Street the knight (another name that resonances with fond memories with me: Freddy Krueger!). Epic: three masterpieces of good ol' 80s horror.

Lars Christoffersen Having been on a Friday binge lately, the time finally came to re-watch the original for perhaps the first time in a decade. Two things struck me immediately: 1. Kevin Bacon is in the movie and 2. how well it holds up. Granted, it's nearly 40 years old so the acting and effects aren't always the crispest, but overall it holds up very well, even better than some of the later installments. The movie also contains a sentimentality that the later ones do not; before the series turned into the Jason Voorhees hack-fest we all know and love, it was about a mother who loved her little boy so much she went mad. After the finale ending with the protagonist Alice decapitating Ms. Voorhees (praise Tom Savigni), we get Alice floating floating around in a canoe in Crystal Lake, while the sweet end theme by Harry Manfredini plays, until the infamous Jason-bursting-out-of-the-lake shot into Alice waking up in the hospital. We see some nice dialogue in the hospital as Alice and a police officer briefly talk about the events, ending with this: Alice: "The boy, is he dead too?" Police officer: "The boy?" Alice: "The boy, Jason." Police officer: "Jason?" Alice: "The one who attacked me, the one who pulled me underneath the water." Police officer: "Ma'am, we didn't find any boy." Alice: "Then he's still there..." cue a zooming-in shot of Crystal lake into end credits while the melancholic end theme plays again, highlighting the sadness of the little boy who drowned in the lake all those years ago. I got close to shedding a tear here. This piece of dialogue is also a brilliant foreshadowing of what was to come. Overall, a well done tragic slasher which by all means deserves to be viewed as a classic in the horror genre.

Heinz Hoogenboom i was so much looking forward to this horror but to my dismay realised id neglected to pick up any roast beef flavoured monster munch which i simply must have for my movie nights, lol. anyway, the title reminds me of a Friday the 13th where i decided to scare my best friend terry boxhill. clad in hockey mask and wielding an axe i stole from work i snuck in his house and belted him really hard with it in his leg. i didn't mean to hit him so hard really but we got him to the hospital but he wouldn't stop screaming and pointing at me, face aghast and puce. as he was screaming at me i shouted back "we will laugh about this someday terry" but we still haven't.
