Movie Reviews of Friday The 13th - The Series: The First Season
Movie Review: A total blast, so happy it's out on DVD!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Except for the ridiculous episode where Ryan and Micki infiltrate a Catholic Church looking for a pen, this whole first season was outstanding! My wife and I crack up at that Church episode because, when they go to the basement of the church, naturally there's a guillotine! LOL... We Catholics always have guillotines at the bottom of our churches, just in case we decide to have a last-minute inquisition! LOL puhllleeze! lol
I forgot actually how BOLD this series was horror-wise for its time. That episode "Root of all Evil" where that crazy mutha throws people into a yard shreader and money comes out!?....wowzers! That was gory and all-out creepy! I can't believe they even got that one on TV! lol
Another over-the-top creepy and YET HILARIOUS episode was "The Electrocutioner." A dentist using a cursed electric chair!? Now that's definitely worth signing-on for!
My favorite episodes were: "The Quilt of Hathor I and II," "Vanity's Mirror," "A Cup of Time," "Bedazzled" etc.
As interesting an episode as it was, "The Baron's Bride" was pretty weird. I like the way our heroes show up at the beginning of the episode to claim a cursed cape only to find out it's in the hands of a vampire. Now what are those odds! Then we get a Jack the Ripper plot to boot! LOL
This series was so much fun, so bold, and the characters were neat. Ryan is quirky and fun, Micki is hot as blazes, Jack is like the uncle you always wanted, and Uncle Lewis is an all-out wackoboy! The haunted antiques/items are downright creepy and clever.
The DVD quality is a tad grainy and most definitely NOT perfect. But as other posters have stated, this was the 80's and the quality at the time. I remember watching this show at midnight after my parents went to bed as a junior high kid. It was a tad grainy and surely not HD lol but it works for me....Don't let a little imperfection snobbery keep you from watching a classic show!
This show is a real gem. Go buy it and get out the popcorn! You won't regret it.
