So, chud.com is doing a countdown to Friday, April 13th by reviewing all of the Friday the 13th movies. Today's review is of the first one, and ends with an absolutely classic summary of the series:
Actually, the Friday films most closely follow the Star Trek model – the first one is sort of ponderous and not exactly what you’re hoping for when you watch it now, while the next three are pretty terrific and tell one long story. Then there’s a fifth film that is like a smack in the face, a sixth that’s a return to greatness, and then a bunch of sequels featuring characters and concepts you don’t even recognize anymore. Also, there end up being space ships.
