Review of Friday the 13th (1980) by Agentz — 05 Jan 2021
Wow....this movie was HORRIBLE. It is shockingly outdated with corny music and TERRIBLE acting especially from the annoying lead actress and the actress who played Jason’s mom. Their over-the-top performances were so annoying. I can’t believe this is the teen horror movie many people STILL consider a classic. I was so disappointed when I watched this for the very first time on TV this month.
This movie aged HORRIBLY! It’s not even scary. This is just another one of those overrated, outdated horror film classics like Psycho (1960), The Shining, and Halloween (1978). The characters in this film are so one-dimensional that their names aren’t even important. And where the hell was Jason Vorhees in the third act? Why wasn’t he the one trying to kill that annoying, dumb, blonde ****.
Why did Jason’s annoying, fat, and ugly **** mother end up being the final antagonist in the first film? Where the hell was he when this movie desperately needed him? If he’s marketed on the posters wearing a hockey mask then why didn’t I see that in the first movie? The stupid, annoying, blonde **** made so many stupid decisions in the final battle with Jason’s mom that I honestly didn’t care whether she was going to die or not. The corny music in the final battle wasn’t helping either and was just the icing on the **** cake.
That final fight was wack! I honestly enjoyed Freddy vs. Jason a lot more than this outdated, cheesy 80s horror B-movie. At least that teen horror B-movie was a fun guilty pleasure unlike this outdated, corny, terribly acted teen horror movie. It wasn’t even a fun cheesy B-movie, it was a boring cheesy B-movie. This film does NOT hold up at all.
