Starting tonight, I will begin with the original Friday the 13th and work my way through the entire franchise, including Freddy vs. Jason and the remake, giving an in-depth review of each film. Aside from maybe the remake, I have probably viewed every film at least 20 times. It is important to remember that these reviews aren't coming from a famous blogger on the internet or a youtube star with 10 million subscribers, where they tend to be casual fans at best. They are coming from a seasoned and wise viewer, whose first journey with the franchise began as a youngster on a weekly bike ride to the video store to rent them all on VHS. After seeing the franchise so many times, I have picked up on minuscule things and patterns here and there throughout many of the films that may or may not have even been deliberately placed there by the film-makers. A sign of an excellent horror franchise is how mysterious it can remain after so many decades and new generations of film. In my opinion, Friday the 13th is the overall greatest franchise in movie history, and for the first time, I will be giving them all an in-depth review right here in this thread, and possibly presenting patterns and theories that you may have never heard of before.
Friday the 13th (1980) is tonight.
