It's not terrible but I've never thought it was in the same class as OG Halloween or Elm Street. Most of its sequels are better. R.I.P. Lar Park Lincoln 😥 Friday 7 forever

It's effective. Some of it is oafishly directed, but there's a lot of genuine suspense. What it needed more than anything were some early clues to the killer's identity. As creepy as she is, Betsy Palmer comes out of nowhere.

I'll just say this now as a huge F13th fan and Jason Voorhees cosplayer. I like to rate the entirety of Friday the 13th series as a 10'10. He's #1 he's unstoppable, he's literally the best! 🔪

I see it more as an "Origins" film, and Part 2 as the true Part 1. I view Part 5 (and the TV series) as kind of their Halloween 3 & Halloween 11 (Ends) world, respectively. F13's quality base is quite all over the place. But I've always thought the OG is a quality start, but ultimately just a "fair film" ⭐ ⭐ 1/2 stars out of 4 film, with a phenomenal & classic performance by the late, great Betsy Palmer as Mrs. Voorhees. One compliment I will also give it, as it was 1980, the original Friday the 13th is the best of the NUMEROUS Halloween knockoff films that came during that 1979-1982 period.

A real GEM ... in my humble opinion. There are some that will be aghast at the pace of this movie. I am not one of those people. I absolutely adore the score, and the fact that one can now spend the night at CAMP BLOOD!!... is pure nightmare fuel.. EVEN in 2025. Another 20/10 for me.

3... maybe a 4. I know, I know... it started the WHOLE Friday the 13th Enchilada.... but DAMN it's a SLOW SLASHER. & really... unnecessary.

5, some of the kills are really good, but this movie is a 100% rip-off of Halloween and this has been stated by Sean Cunningham, the creator of the Friday the 13th series.
