So... What exactly am I supposed to review here? It's one of the most generic horror movies I have ever seen. I suppose during its initial release, it didn't seem generic at all, perhaps even quite the opposite. It must have been such a fresh and new concept that a completely new sub-genre was emerged - teenagers getting slashed in a summer camp. However, since I watched "Friday the 13th" after I had already seen all its succesors, the whole novelty shtick just fell flat.
It's not a bad movie, and I wasn't bored whatsoever - it's just too predictable and sometimes too straightforward for my taste. The music was great, though. You know, this classic horror movie sound which modern horror films definitely lack. For me, the soundtrack made the movie - not the script or the actors.
