	Freddy vs. Jason - A Nightmare on Friday the 13th - Horror Movies
		Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street were two independent success stories that packed people to the theatres based on word of mouth rather than glossy advertising.
		The first 1/3 of the movie takes place much like a typical Friday the 13th movie, the second 1/3 belong to Freddy Kruger, and the happy ending is the fight of the century.
		The movie is what you might expect it to be, but seeing it with your own 2 eyes is an experience that must be had.

	Movie Review - Friday the 13th - eFilmCritic
		For most movie addicts, there are several movies they can pinpoint as milestones; movies they saw when they were young, movies they saw when they weren't allowed to see them, and especially movies in which an assembly line of cardboard characters are systematically and brutally murdered.
		The Friday the 13th movies were as integral to my youth as Mad Magazine, baseball cards and peanut butter, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
		Although Friday the 13th may not be as 'influential' as certain fans may think, it certainly can be considered a benchmark in the horror genre.

	ToxicUniverse.com - Sean Cunningham - - Friday the 13th Movies Review
		While falling well short of the quality level of Carpenter’s classic, Friday the 13th would go on to become one of the most successful genre films of all time—spawning eight sequels (with a reported ninth and tenth on the way) and reshaping the genre in its own image.
		Friday the 13th is a film surrounded in misconception—from the identity of the killer in the first film through to its slasher film status.
		At its core, Friday the 13th is a fairly elaborate mystery with some impressive and violent murder setpieces—just like the gialli of Argento, Bava, and countless others (in fact, Steve Miner, director of F13 2 and 3 has admitted to borrowing murder sequences from Bava’s Bay of Blood AKA Twitch of the Death Nerve).

	Why "Friday the 13th" is the Greatest Horror Franchise in Modern Film History - The CHUD.COM Message Boards
		The secret to "Friday the 13th" is the same as the secret to the Universal "Mummy" movies made during World War II or even the "Frankenstein" series.
		In my opinion, the strength of "Friday the 13th" is the exact weakness of "Scream" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer." In "Scream," you're supposed to give a fuck about Sidney and follow her through THREE horror movies.
		When "Friday the 13th" changed for each entry, it kept the formula close enough to the first one that you really have to work at it to tell the difference between some of them.

		Friday the Thirteenth: The Final Chapter is the only installment of the series to feature Jason actually running as opposed to his usual stagger.
		The first of the Friday the 13th movies is unusual in that Jason only appears for a couple of seconds and in a form we don't expect him in.
		Sure, the atmosphere and shock of the first movie is absent, the ending is confusing, and the body count is the lowest in the entire series, but Friday the 13th, Part II is a worthy second go at a cash cow even if it is critically lambasted.

		Unlucky, because it brings to mind those terrible "Friday the 13th" movies (all six of them), not to mention the television program of the same name that was probably even worse.
		One obvious origin of the Friday the 13th myth is the Bible.
		Friday is also the day of the crucifixion, and for that reason the day itself is considered unlucky.

		I thought the "Friday the 13th" movies should have stopped after the fourth movie which was subtitled "The Final Chapter".
		This movie is just the same old stuff that we saw in the earlier movies: Jason Voorhees stalks and kills people around Camp Crystal Lake (which has been renamed Forest Green for this film).
		Plus one thing that I was glad to see once in a "Friday the 13th" movie, none of the characters using drugs for a change.

		Friday the 13th opens in 1958 with the brutal murder of two counsellors at Camp Crystal Lake.
		Friday the 13th has an astonishing appeal, and its draw is even more impressive given that it (along with many of its sequels) is only a slightly-above-average slasher film.
		Friday the 13th is rated R for extreme violence, language (mostly English), nudity, and the world's strongest middle-aged lady.

	Joey the Film Geek: Reviews - "Freddy Vs. Jason"
		He wore a bag over his head during that film, it wasn't until "Friday the 13th Part III" (when it was released in theaters, it was called "Friday the 13th Part III in 3D") that he got the hockey mask from one of his victims.
		Truth be told, the "Friday the 13th" movies were pretty bad, and the only reason to watch it was for the thrill of seeing "Jason" kill.
		In my opinion, the best of the "Friday the 13th" movies is "Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood." In that one, rather than the whole movie being "Jason" killing people, it features a girl with telekinetic powers, and when it's time for "Jason" to do battle with her, it's a real fight.

		Well, it's not really, and yet this movie is a classic because Friday the 13th was one of the key movies that helped to define both the teen slasher genre and its rules (which, years later, were mocked so effectively in films such as Scream).
		The acting and dialogue in the movie is atrocious and utterly cringe-worthy of course, but it doesn't matter.
		This is a slasher movie; we're not interested in what the characters say or how they say it, we just want to see them getting butchered.

		For the Friday the 13th movies, we can identify many gimmicks over the years, but many fans don’t think these reached shark-jumping status until 1989’s Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan.
		This doesn’t make much sense, but it makes the movie more entertaining, and given the series’ general lack of logic and continuity, I don’t see a reason to criticize it for this change.
		Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

		Immediately picking up where "Friday the 13th Part 3" (the 2nd best of the series), "Friday the 13th Part 4" was such a brilliant addition to the franchise.
		By that I mean that the makers of "Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter" have looked carefully at the previous three movies and decided to make one that contained all of the strengths and none of the weaknesses, resulting in what is probably the best entry of the series (although "Jason Lives" was pretty cool).

		Then Jason X started out awesome with the science team going for Jason's body it should've been as it stated on a deserted planet because the whole spaceship scenario was idiotic and the ending has to be one of the most gayest scenes ever as it looks like Jason is being banged from behind.
		The ending of that movie besides the cyborg and a kid wanting to put nipples on her just ruined the movie.
		I like all of the movies mainly because I'm a horror movie fanatic, but I'll admit that some of them are pretty poor (Part 5: A New Beginning and Jason X to name 2).

		The poor quality of the deleted scenes for many of the Friday films is understandable since this is archival footage and was never in the films as they were released.
		These movies are great fun, and Jason is our generation's Frankenstein monster, the true face of terror, whose battered hockey mask is instantly recognizable, and usually means a creepy good time.

	Friday the 13th Fans' Journal
		While it has its fingerprints all over “Halloween,” “Friday The 13th” takes that premise, piles on the gore, and the audience is left with just what it is, a good, scary movie.
		The last of the “classic” “Friday The 13th’s.” One thing that that is very cool about the original four films in the series is their continuity, particularly 2, 3, and 4 as they happen all over the course of a long weekend.
		Horror movies generally follow the villain, so the introduction of the Tommy Jarvis character and following him through the following movies, giving the audience a character to bond with and root for, a main foil for Jason.
