FRIDAY THE 13TH REVIEW
Armando Sanchez - wrote on 02/29/2012
now as much as i really wanted to love this film,it was just too hard.now it would be unfair for me to just write about how bad the acting , dialogue is.so I'm gonna just leave you off by saying this film doesn't have the classic spin written all over it like horror films "nightmare on elm street" , "halloween" have.I really do want to love this movie,but I found myself bored and sighing.I couldn't wait for it to end.if i was to see this film back in 1980 when it came out,I would have dug this film like no other.people call this film a HORROR CLASSIC.it's fun , it's shocking , but it's not a classic.I really do hate to smash on this film,but it didn't leave me with a smile at the end when the credits rolled like "nightmare on elm street" did for me with it's brilliance. it's fun , …

In 1958 Camp Crystal Lake a couple gets murdered mysteriously. It then cuts to Friday to 13th present day. Annie (Robbi Morgan) hitchhikes to Crystal Lake and is advised by a truck driver for the lake being cursed. A girl gets slit on the neck in the woods. A group of friends enjoy the lake namely Alice (Adrienne King), Bill (Harry Crosby), Marcie (Jeannine Taylor), Jack (Kevin Bacon), Brenda (Laurie Bartram), and Ned (Mark Nelson). A police officer named Dorf searches for Ralph with the group. More people get killed without disclosing the killer.
The score sounds eerily familiar, much like Jaws and Psycho with a touch of echo for more spookiness. So many surprising scenes with beautiful cinematography and authentic performances around. Betsy Palmer really did a great job in …
