DVD Reviews of Friday the 13th (1980) / Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) (Double Feature)
DVD Review: Looking to get your Friday on for cheap?
Summary: 3 Stars
The first Friday the 13th movie has its good and bad moments, both of which are entertaining. It also established a landmark in horror movies and spawned innumerable slasher imitators, and while its I feel Friday the 13th Part 2 is an inferior follow-up to the first movie, it's an important part of the series as it's the first movie where Jason gets his knife on. So, if you're a fan of both of them and you're looking to conserve some shelf room for My Bloody Valentine or Maniac, you've come to the right place.
THE GOOD:
-Clean, animated menus
-Both movies on one side of the disk (it's not a flipper!)
-Comes in a standard DVD case, so it takes up half the room of both movies packaged separately.
THE BAD:
-This is the exact same disc from the Friday the 13th box set, which isn't a big deal, but shows the limited amount of thought that went into putting this together.
-There's no chapter insert.
-No trailers.
-The yellow. The original cover art for these movies, while still here, is a foreboding black and red. Here, it's swallowed up in a chipper yellow frame. Even the spine/side of the art is yellow, so when you stick it in your DVD case, you'll only be able to recognize it by the bright yellow spine that obscures the titles of the movies, making them tough to read. Hey, at least it's not as bad as the horrendous "I Love the 80s" cover art.
So who is this for? If you're a fan of the series, you probably have these movies already in better looking cases, and if you just want the best of the series, you're better off with just getting the first movie. However, if you want to save some room in your DVD case, or want a little Jason with your introduction to the series, then this is an easy way to get the first two. My two cents? Get 'em both separately and toss your copy of "Underworld."
DVD Review: Friday The 13th Double Feature
Summary: 4 Stars
Four stars for the movies themselves, but beware, you get NO extras on this at all! On the back of the case, it says there are theatrical trailers for each film but there aren't when you put the disc (which, by the way, there is only one disc, not two) into the player. No biggie to me, I got this for 10 bucks and can easily watch the trailers on YouTube but it's still annoying when they say something is included and it's not! Buyer beware, but not bad for those who want to replace their worn out VHS copies of these movies as I did :)DVD Review: Collectables
Summary: 5 Stars
The spooky atmosphere makes these films. I recommend this Film to anyone. My favourite movies are pts 1-4. Pt 1 - 3 brings me back to my youth and the DVD transfers are fine, if you are after something intelligent, this is not for you, for the films are a fun and entertaining session of good-looking horny teens getting slashed. I think the series went a bit far after pt 8, but what the hell its all popcorn stuff anyway. For all the people bagging Paramount GET A LIFE this box is beautifully put together, (like how many times do you need to see Jason do the sleeping bag thing)???????

DVD Review: You've got to be kidding?
Summary: 1 Stars
I can't believe Paramount has the you-know-what to release these two classics in their "butchered" versions again. What the hell is it with them already? Die hard Friday the 13th fans are ready to open their wallets for an "uncut" pressing of these films. What's the matter, Paramount? Are you not feeling well?
If it weren't for the fact that they control Star Trek, I'd have boycotted them a long time ago.
Thankfully, I own the PAL release of the first movie which was distributed by Warner. It's great. Go and get yourself a copy and while you're at it, get a multi-region player as well so you can watch the DVD.
Let me go before I say something I'll regret.DVD Review: Two great horror classics for the price of one.
Summary: 5 Stars
The first two Friday The 13th films are the best of the series, and here they are in a convenient package for a great price. If you don't already own them, I'd suggest buying this DVD immediately!
Description of Friday the 13th (1980) / Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) (Double Feature)
FRIDAY THE 13TH: They comprise the most successful and shocking tales of terror in cinema history. Now, for the first time, the first eight classic Friday The 13th movies are available together in this killer DVD collection. Beginning with the picture that critics have called the original slasher flick, this collection spans nine years and includes seven additional blood-soaked, suspense-filled sagas starring one of the most horifying characters ever to wear a hockey mask and wield a machete: Jason Voorhees. It's a splatterfest of fear all the way from Crystal Lake to the mean streets of Manhattan. In addition, the collection includes a special disc filled with never-before-seen footage and fabulous extras that will slay even the most jaded horrorfilm aficionado! FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2: Two months after the events of the original Friday the 13th, Alice (Adrienne King), the lone survivor or Mrs. Vorhees' killing spree, meets a grisly end in her city apartment. Five years later, a new group of co-eds converges near Camp Crystal Lake, scene of the original massacre and the drowning of Jason Vorhees that preceded it. This time around, the horny collegians attend a nearby training school for camp counselors. As half the group parties in town, an unseen assailant picks off the other half one by one. Only when camp leader Paul (John Furey) and his girlfriend, Ginny (Amy Steel), return to camp do they uncover the identity of their stalker - none other than Jason (Warrington Gillette) himself, alive but grotesquely deformed as a result of his childhood drowning. Flashbacks chronicle Jason's behind-the-scenes activities in the first film (perhaps explaining how his mother was able to throw the dead bodies of muscular youths through windows with such apparent ease). The young couple's only hope to defeat the fiend lies in psych major Ginny's insights in Jason's mental state.General DVDs
