The original Friday the 13th was one of those no-budget grubby horror flicks with massive returns, secure among the likes of Halloween and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The franchise it spawned is a shining, bloody emblem of the golden age of slasher movies, though critics grew less appreciative of the series’ increasingly ludicrous carnage.

Jim Isaac's Jason X was marketed as a horror film, but it barely qualifies as one. Like other later installments, it's more focused on upping the creativity of the kills than it is building any sort of tension, but at least the liquid nitrogen kill is an all-timer.

Any fear the Friday the 13th franchise has instilled in audiences is due to a build. A killer hides behind trees and watches as counselors chit-chat, fully unaware that their day can, and will, very swiftly become much worse. Something is lost when Jason walks through a poor-looking Manhattan and he yanks up his mask to show his grotesque face. It ...
Tom Holland's Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives is a smart film. Ahead of its time and occasionally funny in a genuine way, the movie still doesn't try to be scary, even if it is objectively good. RELATED: 10 Lost Friday The 13th Sequels (And Reboots) That Were Never Made Some would argue it's the best installment of the franchise, and it does s...
If Freddy vs. Jason has anything going for it, it's the much-promised, titular final fight. But that ends up being a great scene in an otherwise weak movieand shows that the slasher mash-up was destined more for the action genre than it was straight horror. Freddy Krueger had started dispensing one-liners five installments before, and that was to b...
It may contain one of the most shockingtwists in the Friday the 13th movies, but Part VII: The New Blood is the most compromised of Paramount's eight installments of the franchise. The MPAA butchered the film, effectively excising every ounce of impact from each kill to appease the groups who thought Friday the 13th was the bane of ethics and the w...
Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning tried to go back to basics by throwing a twist ending at the audience. However, instead of Jason's mother, it's an ambulance driver named Roy who looks at the camera menacingly once and is then more or less disposed of by the narrative. The twist aspect of A New Beginning makes the villain seem like less of a...
Jump scares are the lowest common denominator tactic in horror, but Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday has a pretty terrific one in the first 10 minutes. A woman enters a dark cabin, looks around, and takes a shower. It's a basic Friday the 13th opening scene set-up...but it ends up being a set-up in a completely different way. She's an FBI agent...
Like other horror films from the Platinum Dunes era, Marcus Nispel's Friday the 13th is overly-reliant on jump scares, but the still-most-recent installment added something new to a formula it otherwise adhered to rigidly. Namely, Jason has the capacity and willingness to kidnap. An extension of Ginny Field donning Mrs. Voorhees' sweater in Friday ...
In terms of the fear factor, Friday the 13th Part II follows the law of diminishing returns. Its style, tone, and even the characters all mostly adhere to the original film.

Like the original film, Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter is one of the best movies with Tom Savini's FX. It's also the last installment of the franchise to truly feel like Friday the 13th, and many make the argument that it's the best of the series. It's certainly the most well-constructed and well-written, but it also brings the scares. An examp...
