Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

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.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

zoecaterina 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.

misterkister-13780 Could not get past that girls scream! It's awful! Not funny, not scary just NOPE!

daemonsdiablo Very good movie, if you enjoy low-budget, early 1980's films. It is cheesy, the acting is SUPPOSED to be bad, as are the effects. The movie is intended as a family film, so its pretty mild, however if you've watched a lot of old horror films, especially low budget ones, you should love this. It is a good indication of at least some of the inspiration for newer movies such as the "Scary Movie" series. If you watch it, please keep in mind, it was made in 1981, even the movies that were well-funded and serious at that time appear campy to us now, so keep an open mind and a sense of humor and don't take the movie, or yourself, too seriously.

disdressed12 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
