(1 - 16) of 16 OFCS Rating: 56% Rotten Page   1   3/5 "It's a classic, for sure, just an awfully cheesy one."   Filmcritic.com   Christopher Null 2/4 "...uneven..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2.5/4 "A skillful, if by-the-numbers, horror pic."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman 1/5 "A dreadful piece of trash."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider "Within the dead-teenie realm it achieves a certain classicism"   CinePassion   Fernando F. Croce 3/4 "a campfire boogeyman story designed to do little more than build tension and deliver a few well-timed shocks, which it does with precision and even a bit of artistry"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 2/4 "You really have to wonder what exactly made the Friday the 13th series so wildly successful."   Slant Magazine   Jeremiah Kipp 6/10 "...perhaps more than any other film, it helped to popularize the slasher genre and codify the formula."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 3.5/5 "What makes the movie work is that the slasher genre hadn't been set in stone yet, and some choices that director Sean S. Cunningham makes in the film that work against type."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr 3/5 "It’s a lazy film, of that there can be little doubt, yet it does just enough things right to make it an entertaining watch -- especially when one views it in the proper historical context."   ToxicUniverse.com   Mike Bracken "Friday the 13th emerges not as an outstanding slasher film, but as a succinctly formulaic one."   Not Coming to a Theater Near You   Rumsey Taylor 9/10 "The slasher king."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg 3.5/4 "A classic Bacon"   sbs.is   Stefan Birgir Stefansson 3/10 "Makes not the slightest attempt to hide the outright theft of every one of its ideas from much better films."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton F Read review   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2/4 Read review   ReelViews   James Berardinelli  (1 - 16) of 16 OFCS Rating: 56% Rotten Page   1
