Friday the 13th (1980) ★★★★
If you look at arguable things like effects, budget, lack of originality (ie unashamedly ropping off other films like Halloween and Carrie),... there are plenty of reasons why this film should not*work.
And yet it does. Even if it's just with the anticipation of mark out moments like when Bacon gets it or the introduction of Crazy Ralph. And credit where credit is due, Betsy Palmer does show her action chops. Even if the script was a piece of...*dreck.
