I am a huge fan of horror from the 1960’s through the 1970’s. I barely give modern “horror” a chance. I loved the Friday the 13th flicks as a child and decided after much hesitation to give the latest installment a chance.

I will say, I was amazed that it did not totally suck.

I liked it quite a bit more than I could have imagined. It was your classic campy slasher flick starring your favorite guy in the hockey mask.

It was less than inventive and offered absolutely nothing for the series or horror genre.

However, it was entertaining.

Is it the best F13 flick? No.

Is it worth a matinee to see titties and terror on Camp Crystal Lake? Sure why not.
That's all that I expect from any of the Friday the 13th films. Your review makes me want to go see it even more.
