They're all very badly done slashers, to be honest. I think the main reason that the first film took off is because it was novel, at the time, to see such a grimy film of this nature playing in mainstream theaters rather than grindhouse theaters. It is definitely not a good movie.
But, then again, the
Friday the 13th
series is still far better than most of the slasher series that followed it, like the truly godawful
Terrifier
movies. -

I don't think I've actually watched a friday movie all the way thru. I remember as a kid I watched a bit of one and all I remember is some lad in an alley fighting jason and he gets his head punched off, iirc. That is the only thing I remember about these movies
I may have seen a bit of jason vs freddy too. -

The first one gets my vote. It's by far the best in the entire series because it really takes it time to develop the characters and overall creepy atmosphere.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything. -

It's a tossup between the first and second.
I kinda prefer the second because the ending of the first one, as memorable as it is, sets off a lot of questions on how an older woman could possibly have done all things she did.
In II, we have Jason and thankfully without the hockey mask.
I am not a fan of the series. I own these two films but none of the others.
There is one that involves a character with the ability of telekinesis, which is actually a very interesting idea but the way it's handled is a bit unsatisfying. -

Last week it was NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. This week it is FRIDAY THE 13TH playing at my local theater for $5.
I didn't enjoy this experience as much, but it had nothing to do with the movie. I don't think the transfer was good. It looked like it had been sped up slightly. You know how old TV shows look when there been sped up to meet modern day commercial standards? Well, it looked like that. The opening hand-held camera work was very shaky, to an unnatural degree.
The sound mix was pretty bad too. The background noises were very prominent throughout, and some of the vocals, like screams, were painful to my ears. The conversation between Annie and Enos was very difficult to here due to the truck's engine noise.
The print they used was the extended version unfortunately. And the sound appeared to be a mono mix.
Did anyone here see if in theaters in 1980? If so, how was the sound? Was it as bad as I am describing?
Overall, though. I'm glad I went. To see a classic on the big screen is a real treat, and a reel treat too. -

I saw it when it was originally released, but I was 10, and it was 36 years ago, I honestly couldn't remember anything about pic or sound quality.
I collect dead pigeons then I press them between the pages of a book. -

I saw it in the theater back in 80' but I don't remember how good or bad the sound was because I was busy making out with your mom.
