Friday the 13th
(1980)
Directed by Sean S.
Cunningham this film stars Adrienne King, Harry Crosby, Kevin Bacon
and Jeannine Taylor. A group of teenagers head out to the woods to
help re-open a summer camp but are stalked by a serial killer.
Despite having a
reputation as one of the grandparents of the slasher genre this is a
fairly weak effort that lacks much plot of character. While the
revelation of the killer's identity is a change from the usual it is
not enough to over come the fact this about 30 minutes of film
dragged out to 90 minutes. Some of the gore may have been new to
cinema a the time but the direction is not especially filled with
tension or interesting.
2/5
