So in other words do not waste youre time on this movie you are way way way way way way way way way more better of watching the extremley classic John Carpentetrs extremley scary movieHalloween.   (0 people found this comment helpful, 1 did not)

11. Redoedo (24) , on 3/28/2004 5:04:00 AM, said:      A decent horror flick if you're looking for blood and guts mixed in with a lot of sex. I can tolerate the F13 films, but they are subpar when compared to some of the other films that thankfully are rated higher on this list. This film, like it's senseless sequels, suffers highly from a senseless plot and terrible acting. Entertaining, but not nearly as good as many others.   (5 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not)

12. Enkidu (22) , on 1/31/2004 8:15:00 PM, said:      Mindboggling stupidity. These movies are a kind of porn, but curiously puritanical: only the teenagers who screw get killed, and they always get killed in very messy ways, using exactly the same filming tricks that are used in pornography.   (1 people found this comment helpful, 1 did not)

14. astroboy (0) , on 8/24/2003 3:15:00 AM, said: The first in an overly long series of braindead slasher films.This is far and away the best in the series.My only problem was with the fact that the killer is not introduced until very well into the movie.For those who have not seen this the plot revolves around a camp reopened after having been closed down after a negligent drowning death.A restless spirit or a human is out for revenge and starts killing off the camp counselors.   (0 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not)

God, the only money they spent making these friday the 13th stuff was on a hockey mask and an old jumpsuit. Truly dissapointing. There are some good moments though.   (0 people found this comment helpful, 1 did not)

18. BIGBABY (10) , on 4/26/2003 1:11:00 PM, said:      This movie is not scary. It focuses on blood, guts, and nudity. A good storyline is completely wasted. The ending is horrible. I agree with Errol, this movie is the cause of the cheap horror.   (1 people found this comment helpful, 1 did not)

20. Rick18 (0) , on 3/1/2003 6:59:00 AM, said: Not as good as Halloween, but not as bad as some of the other slasher films out at the time. The setting was really interesting...the creepy woods at Crystal Lake...just not a place I would want to go to with lots of people dissapearing! Overall the first was the best in the series, but it just doesn't measure up to Halloween...and like that series of movies, this was the best of the lot.   (0 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not)
