[@DANSABEATS]

Exceeded expectations! 😂

[@TeamHarrisonMachine]

Hell yeah! That’s why I like looking at his reactions. It may sound funny but he’s the perfect audience. Other reviewers either don’t react at all or talk through the parts we were waiting for them to see. He always has genuine emotions. I wish he would have reacted to Game of Thrones

[@sixslinger9951]

it follows the other best jump scare of all time at the end of Carrie 1976

[@FRANNiiEbOO]

18:26 i like how he said "we all know who the killer is" like everyone seen the movie before the movie came out....and he was STILL wrong about the killer 😂😂

[@kaylapounds1359]

He did a Casey Becker, thinking it was Jason since Jason is the main one who was known to be a killer in the series. But I think some people forget that his mom was the killer in part 1 and an entirely different guy was the killer in part 5.

[@BadMoonHorrors]

Adrienne King (Alice) told in an interview, she took her mother to a test screening they did for some studio executives/ movie distributors and such. When Jason popped up at the end, her mother let out a terrified scream (which is quite appropriate as you might agree 🤪). When the lights turned on, she leaned over to her mom and said: "I think you just sold the movie".

[@chickenking67]

That final scream, Mel... I rewinded that part of the video 15 times and I’m still dying. Thank you for that beautiful reaction to Jason’s first jumpscare

So the snake was a pet of a crew member. He agreed to allow them to use the snake for this scene but was told they would trade it for a fake for killing it. But didn't. The owner sued them for it

Scream was the first horror movie that I ever saw, so I already knew the surprise ending when I saw this for the first time. BUt I still liked it. One year I sat and watched the first of all the horror movie classics. First chucky, first Nightmare on Elm Street, first Halloween, and they were all very good.

[@kurtbarlow9402]

You should add the first Hellraiser, Texss Chainsaw Massacre, and Phantasm as well

[@kurtbarlow9402]

@@kreativeillustr8s Phantasm is a different type of series. Very little is explained, leaving the series wide open to fan (phan) interpretations. Things happen, and that's just the way it is. The upside is that you can't break the rules if you never created any to start with.

[@dominicscreativefilms]

While the characters are hella cliche by today's standards, I will say 3 awesome things about this movie: 1. The soundtrack really elevates the film 2. Them building up the one girl in the beginning as the final girl only for the movie to say sike and kill her early 3. The killer pov shots and hiding who the killer really is (especially nowadays where people who know Jason but haven't seen the original expect it to be Jason and not his mother) It being his mom explains why everyone was so chill around the killer until they actually tried killing them.

[@edisonlima4647]

There is also the fact that the actual "final girl" in the first Friday 13th movies were: having an affair with her married boss, using drugs, drinking. It is wild that this franchise would become synonymous with the pure as snow final girl.

I watched it in the theater when it came out, i was about 12 and watched it through my fingers. but remember the audience screaming when the kid popped up and grabbed her. so yep, it gets pretty much everyone, except for my father who laughed. he thought it was great and laughed when everyone else jumped and screamed'

[@Cadinho93]

Fun Fact: Betsy Palmer, the actress of Jason's mother originally turned down the role, but took it because she needed a new car. Also, I love that Jason has become such a known movie monster that the ending to this movie shocks everybody when the killer is revealed.

It was over 40 years ago. Times were different get over it

[@TresTrefusis]

@@DCshandle Times weren't that different. They were wrong and they got sued for it. I have a pet snake and if anyone borrowed Ashley and then cut her head off I'd been sitting in jail on assault and battery charges the next day gladly. Would you feel the same if it were a dog or cat I wonder? It's a snake so it means less than any other animal? It's not still a life, someone's companion and friend?

[@DCshandle]

@@TresTrefusis I’d definitely eat a snake but not a dog or a cat so your comparison is invalid. In other countries it’s completely legal and okay to eat dogs and cats. So yeah your snake is not the same as someone’s cat or dog. You’re just sensitive about animals. If it’s that’s bad you should become vegan

[@OneDarkMartian]

I love these movies. I’m glad you gave a shout out to Harry Manfredini for his score. It’s absolutely iconic and part of what makes these movies so much fun. The effects are also great, created by gore icon Tom Savini. Parts 2, 4 and 6 are my favourites, so hope you do the sequels too.

[@toodlescae]

The gal in the pink shirt that took an axe to the head was quoting a line by Katherine Hepburn in the movie The Rainmaker from the 50's. (doing impression of Katharine Hepburn.)"When I looked into that mirror, I knew I'd always be ugly. I said, "Lizzy, you'll always be plain." You didn't pick up on the fact that Mrs. Vorhees is nuts?

[@seeker8097]

My Dad’s about 70, and he watched this for the first time with me a couple of weeks ago. The only time he said anything positive about the whole movie was when she did that Hepburn impression. He looked at me with this shocked/amused look and said, “That was actually really good.” 😂

@@seeker8097 I guess I got lucky because my 79 year old Mom is why I love horror movies. I got it from her. She said she used to go see them when she was pregnant with me and my grandma said she was going to scar me by doing that. I guess she was right in a way. 🤣🤣

[@k.delpino1124]

From tragedy to vengeance. Evil was born. I was more sympathetic to the origins of the Voorhees legacy. It's a shame that Jason died so young and for the wrong reasons. I sort of agree with the mother's grief and her son's return to finish what was started. But as 9 sequels, 1 spinoff and 1 remake came along, it was more for the next characters to experience this legend of Crystal Lake, the kills, the fandom and all the major staple of the entire 1980s to early 1990s.

This was a small budget independent film. Paramount bought the distribution rights. What I like about this film is it was Jason’s mother who was the killer. It wasn’t until this film became a huge success that Jason became the killer. And Jason didn’t even get his trade mark hockey mask until the 3rd film.

[@MadMattInc1]

The Jason you know of through Pop Culture doesn't happen until 3. You have to go through the less iconic Friday 2 Jason first, then you get hockey mask Jason. As for consular in the game, most of them are references with broad strokes that feel similar to in movie characters outside of Tommy as an in game unlock/backup character, and two later consulars based more obviously on characters from part 3.

[@HolyRomanEmperor90]

You need to watch the sequels. Part 2 introduces Jason as the killer, Part III is where he gets his iconic hockey mask and The Final Chapter is in my opinion the best in the series. Part VI: Jason Lives is also a lot of fun.

I went yearly to Camp Hope in Hope, NJ where this was filmed. Our campsite shared the lake with the filming campsite for many Friday the Thirteenth movies. Our camp counselors used to try to scare us all the time☺, but it never really worked and the lake’s name is actually Silver Lake. Great reaction to an all time classic, Thanks! Getting into the series the best ones are 1,2,6,7 the okay ones are 4,5,9. Part 8’s title alone should tell you it was a no. Jason X is somewhere between good and okay.

26:25 I know, it would've made a lot more sense for her to drive her away. She'll have a witness to say that someone killed all of them and will also be her alibi because she'll say that she only just arrived after the others had been killed. If she had a living witness to testify that someone was out there killing everyone then she'd still have a good chance to get the place closed for good.

[@dgaller06]

The way you can tell that the original killer is not Jason, is in the way the characters that do have interactions with the killer, interact with that person. Their guard is completely down around the killer until its too late. The couple at the beginning probably just thought they were gonna be reprimanded so they keep their guard down, not realizing the danger right until the guy is stabbed. Annie, probably just thought of the killer as a kind stranger willing to give her a ride, not knowing the danger until the killer zooms right past the Camp Crystal Lake turn. Steve is familiar with the killer because they are both citizens of the town thats by Crystal Lake. The interactions are pretty cordial for the most part, because the killer is someone who is completely unassuming. Jason is a big hulking guy who you'd definitely feel in danger around and you'd try to get away from him as fast as possible.
