Jason Voorhees was *thought* to be the very scary villain in this movie, although he was in all the sequels.   Below you will find information about that movie and my critique - keep in mind this is my opinion only.  Also I have just included the main characters in my cast - who remembers the others anyway!

Synopsis

If you wanted a scary movie back in the early 80's, this was the one.  I remember being at the movie theatre and there were so many squeals and screams it was like Jason was on our side of the screen.  I don't know of any teen that wasn't scared witless by this villain.  Not much of a story really, as far as movies go, but it puts you on the edge of the seat and doesn't let up.  In the movie a young boy named Jason drowns in a camp lake. Eleven years later, counselors at the camp are systematically slaughtered. Could it be Jason back from his watery grave or some other crazy wretch?
Unfortunately it was ruined by bringing out too many sequels after the first 3, which were brilliant.  I was one of many who lost the thrill of it all and waited for them to come on video instead of going to the movies the day it came out like the first three If you are a fan of the series you will notice the pix to the left are actually a selection from all of them, not just the first one (the last pic is from the latest movie yet  to be released in this country - it gives me the chills just looking at it because he's just so damned evil :P). 

Rated: 8/10
