<PERSON> when she was asked about the making of Friday The 13th she said: "They sent me the script and I read it, then I said what a piece of shit!" Gotta love that lady lol.
Friday The 13th franchise is the fast food of slasher horror. It is formulaic, you know what to expect, gore, nudity, hammy acting, and cheesy lines. Sometime you'll get a greasy and delicious package of horror like in part IV and VI, but sometime you gotta deal with stinkers like part III and V. 241
Some people considered part I as one of the worst in the franchise, and I get it, the movie is flawed. However, Friday the 13th part I has special place in my heart, I vividly remember watching it in a gloomy and rainy day, I love the atmosphere, the lore, the twist, and the campyness.
The first installment is supposed to be a stand alone movie (just like Halloween), but it was really well accepted so they had to made more sequels to quench their greed. In retrospect, Friday The 13th franchise is so iconic and still watchable to this day. This franchise is probably the gateway movie(s) for many horror fans out there, including me. 269
