 The best Friday of them all!
It's not because it's part 1 in the Friday franchise. The original Friday the 13th is the best in the series because it boasts some of the best atmospheres ever, a terrific cast, beautiful gore, and a score a mother (and everyone else!) can love. Dispite being panned by critics, and fans of horror (more often the idiots who can't form their own opinions) this is one great horror flick. And...I'll say it...it's a good movie in general too! Unbelievably bashed to smitherines, F13 is still the daddy of slasher films. Ofcourse, the granddaddy is "Bay of Blood", and the great-granddaddy is...whatever. Join in on the horror!

 still a classic
after all this time Friday the 13th is still the best slasher movie I have ever seen. I love the idea of these young people being in this isolated place during a thunder storm with a maniac on the loose. People often watch this film with Jason on their minds, that is a big mistake because this movie is really a mystery slasher much like terror train or my bloody valentine. What makes this film scary is that the killer is not revealed until near the end and it all starts to make sense. I still believe that in terms of setting and location Friday the 13th beats Halloween by miles even though Halloween has other strengths.

 Another Classic
This is considered by the fans and by critics to be the best Friday the 13th installment and I agree completely. The originals are always the best. Very few sequals ever surpass the original. Jason wasn't the killer in this one and that's probably why I liked it so much. I get so bored and sick of Jason walking around and killing people. It's the same old crap really. However in this film Mrs Vorhees was the killer and she was looking for revenge due to her son drowning. She was the original killer and one of the best, if not the best female killer in horror history. The Friday the 13th franchise is so successfull because of the first installment. Paramount should've closed the franchise by Part 4 the Final Chapter because the films after that weren't making that much money and they weren't getting tremendous returns. People began getting sick of Jason wielding his knives, axes, screw drivers and other weapons around and killing people without any motive. That's probably why New Line Cinema took over the series and didn't include Jason that much in the 9th installment, Jason goes to hell. They wanted to create something different and maybe save the franchise. Don't get me wrong Jason is one of the greatest serial killers in movie history and he has nearly 250 bodies to his credit, but you get bored after a while watching him. That's the problem with these Friday the 13th films. The film-makers got too carried away with the success and they made too many sequals. I own every Friday the 13th film, including Jason X and Freddy vs Jason. The only film with Jason which I thought beat the original Friday the 13th film was Freddy vs Jason and that's due to Freddy's contributions to the movie. Anyway this is the greatest Friday the 13th installment, so make sure you own it.
