"Plenty of over-sexed teens die horrible deaths thanks to F/X by Tom Savini... 'nuff said? I think so." - Ken Kish, Video Wasteland: Rental, Reference and Review Guide

"It may not have been the first slasher film, but Friday the 13th, director Sean Cunningham's thrilling invitation to slaughter, simplified the format and added extra gore." - Stephen Thrower, NIghtmare USA: The Untold Story of the Exploitation Independents

"A good film for those on the lookout for a no-frills catalogue of killings." - Michael J. Weldon, The Psychotronic Encyclopedia

"The first. Some say the best." - Matthew A. St. Cyr, Weng's Chop

"Landmark summer camp slasher is empty headed, but fast paced and graphic." - Chas. Balun, The Gore Score

Terror and suspense abound in this 24-hour nightmare of blood. Camp Crystal Lake has been shuttered for over 20 years due to several vicious and unsolved murders. The camp's new owner and seven young counselors are readying the property for re-opening despite warnings of a "death curse" by the local residents. The curse proves true on Friday the 13th as one by one, each of the counselors is stalked by a violent killer.

Plus a Something Weird short film!
