Friday the 13th (1980) Review

  Happy Friday the 13th! To celebrate, here's a review of the very first Friday the 13th movie:

********************************************SPOILER ALERT!**************************************************

  So a bunch of teenagers are staying at Camp Crystal Lake, and there's a killer stalking them. That's about it. In this the killer is not Jason Voorhees, it's actually Pamela Voorhees, his mother. She's killing everyone at the camp because in 1957 Jason was at the camp trying to swim, but no one was doing their job and keeping an eye on him, and he drown. Now she wants revenge.
  The first half of the movie isn't very good. Just some boring deaths and a bunch of sex. Plus you don't even see the killer's face. Although there is this one pretty cool kill, a boy is laying down on a bed, when from beneath the bed an arrow comes up through his throat.
  The second half of the movie is better. You can see the face of Pamela Voorhees now, and there's only one kid left, so they focus on just her now. The remaining kid chops off the head of Mrs. Voorhees, and then gets into a boat. Well she's in the boat Jason somehow comes back from the dead and pulls her into the water, but she wakes up in the hospital. And that's the end of the movie.
  When they start talking about Jason it really gets you hyped to see the next movie where he's actually the killer. I'd say watch it if your a horror fan. But remember the first half of the movie is going to be pretty boring. And if you watch this one, be sure to watch part II soon after. It's much better, very suspenseful and could actually make you jump too.
