Whenever I'm near Burketsville there's a fucknut of people around the woods.
About Friday The 13th, it overused the killer's POV way too much, I mean it's cool for a small bit every now and then, but every time Pamela was around it was her POV until the end, that's what killed it for me. That and it was basically "Halloween" without the effort and with a vagina. The sequels I didn't mind so much (namely 2, 3, 4 and 6).

Hmm to an extent I agree with massacre man's point there.
The climax was a bit of a downer...although the "second" climax was a sort of hint for things to come... Any more bashings guys?

My main issue with Friday the 13th was that I just didn't buy it; I didn't like Alice as herione, she annoyed the hell out of me. The story was bland and not very scary. The only thing it had going for it was there was some blood, some really good death scenes. I have always thought this film was overrated. Halloween, the rules of which this movie was obviously following, had a far better build up of suspense, and much better characters, was just all around a far better film. Friday the 13th just pales so much in comparison. But admittedly, this movie's influence on the horror genre is undeniable, so many horror fans love it, I often wonder what is wrong with me...lol.

Betsy Palmer was great in her role, and it was the franchise that brought us Jason. I am a much bigger fan of parts 2-5.
IMO, You gotta tip your hat to the Slasher that started the 80's off right. ;)

Friday the 13th is a good movie that spawned one of my favourite franchises, but it really doesnt hold up to multiple viewings. Really enjoyed it the first two times out, but when I popped it in for a 3rd time I ended up fast forwarding alot.
That said, it really served to cement slashers into the public consciousness. Nowhere near as influential as Halloween of course, but it still deserves some respect.

I have no issues with Friday but the kids. Betsy Palmer is amazing. I only wish Jason could have been as scary.

Its true. Somehow most of Jason's kills make for enjoyable viewing, rather than creeping the audiences out. More often than not, we find ourselves cheering for him.
Maybe Jason could not fit the exact bill of a creepy, psychotic deranged killer like Norman Bates or Henry, or even Michael Myers to an extent. But then, in the original, mama Voorhees was the killer, although it was a bit hard to digest. (They could have shown that Jason was still prowling in the woods, and mama was puppeting him around...it could have brought an interesting angle to the whole franchise) Once again, very nice bashing, folks! This is getting really good...and most of us are good at grinding a movie to a pulp!!:D Okay, how often have I read around these parts from members that they didnt find this movie scary? Especially when it has been touted as one of the most scariest movies ever made? After all...it did make a whole lot of people afraid of going into the water for a long, long time...yet, why doesn't Jaws click with many die-hard horror fans? Bring on your views, haters!!

a bit of a tall order to ask people to criticise jaws but i don't understand one thing: where did the shark learn to play the cello?

Anyways, Jaws is a great film. I can't imagine anyway claiming this movie sucked. Now the sequels....that's another story.
