Movie Reviews of Friday the 13th - From Crystal Lake to Manhattan (8 Movies)

Movie Review: From Crystal Lake to Manhattan
Summary: 4 Stars

This was a really crappy box set. All movies and a lackluster bonus dvd is all we get. I do like the slim cases and putting two movies onto one disc, but I would've liked the see unrated versions of the films-if they even exist. The one worth while feature is the deleted scenes from Friday the 13th VII-The New Blood. Alot of fans want the uncut version of the film and this is probably as far as we'll ever see is the deleted scenes from that movie. It has Jason's best kills and are the best thing about the set that makes it worth owning. Overall, its a good set with the bonus disc of deleted kills from Part 7 making it a keeper.

Summary of Friday the 13th - From Crystal Lake to Manhattan (8 Movies)

A collection of the first eight feature films about a diabolical killer who wears a hockey mask.
Genre: Horror
Rating: UN
Release Date: 8-AUG-2006
Media Type: DVD
Five discs gather the first eight movies in the Friday the 13th series, plus a batch of behind-the-scenes featurettes. You can track the rise, fall, and endless resurrections of Jason Voorhees, from the original 1980 film to Jason's self-kidding trip to the Big Apple. Horror fans eat up packages such as this, but there's something odd about the deluxe treatment for a series that spotlighted atrocious acting, pitiful production values, and inane storytelling.

You'll spot a few future "name" actors in various installments: Kevin Bacon is morbidly dispatched in the first one. But in general, the dominant focus is how to kill horny teenagers, most of whom have gathered at Camp Crystal Lake in the misguided belief that the curse of the impossible-to-kill Jason has worn off. The first movie has a certain raw, crummy ability to shock, Part 2 is a dismal retread, and Part 3 actually features interesting use of 3-D, which doesn't translate to its flat DVD version. The fourth is boldly subtitled The Final Chapter, and we all know where that went, but it does have Crispin Glover doing a funky dance. A New Beginning and Jason Lives continue Jason's bad mood, maybe because the hockey mask doesn't fit right. The seventh chapter, The New Blood, stakes Jason against a worthy opponent (Crystal Lake's answer to telekinetic Carrie), but the result is the same. Part 8's subtitle, Jason Takes Manhattan, is wittier than the movie itself, as Jason menaces an unlucky cruise ship of high-schoolers bound for New York--where Mr. J fits right in.

Some of the films come with commentaries from directors or cast members, including heralded Jason performer Kane Hodder. Brief documentaries (ranging from five to 15 minutes) cover separate installments with amusing anecdotes, including interviews with Sean S. Cunningham, Tom Savini, and various actors. In another doc, actors speak of the fraternity of young actors who've been slaughtered by Jason over the years. A deleted-scenes section is skimpy and not very interesting, while the tricks of special-effects gore merit a film to themselves. It's a customer-savvy DVD box, even if the effect of watching a bunch of this stuff together is a little dispiriting. --Robert Horton
