Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe movie was filmed at Camp No-Be-BoSco in Blairstown, New Jersey. It is a Boy Scout Camp that is still in operation, and it has a wall of Friday the 13th (1980) memorabilia to honor that the movie was set there.
- Goofs(at around 40 mins) When Brenda rolls the dice to start the strip Monopoly game, she says she rolls double sixes and gets to roll again, but you can clearly see the 1 and 2 she actually rolled. The same for the guy, who clearly rolled a 10, though it's said that he rolled an 8.

Featured review
Friday the 13th is a classic masterpiece, it uses a clever sort of storytelling to hide the identity of the killer as well as who the main character is to the end. For a slasher movie, it's not as bloody as a modern slasher, but it still delivers brutal kills. The music and sound effects are all great. The suspense-building is great as you can kinda figure out when someone's is going to get murdered. And without spoiling anything, the acting of the killer is truly terrifying! Some acting is kind of cheesy but that doesn't change mutch. It has a great atmosphere and after rewatching it, Friday the 13th from 1980 is now one of my favourite horror movies of all time! Overall it's a must see movie with a score of 9/10 from me!
