Friday the 13th
On Friday, June 13th of 1958, two Camp Crystal Lake counsellors, Claudette and Barry, slip away from the campfire for an illicit rendezvous. They are discovered and murdered by an unseen assailant. Two decades later, the camp is preparing to reopen. The town loony, Crazy Ralph, warns camp cook Annie that "Camp Blood" has a death curse, but Annie continues to hitch her way to camp. Local truck driver Enos tells her the camp lore: the murders in '58, a boy drowning in '57, the fires and bad water that thwarted attempts to reopen the camp. Annie then catches a ride with the wrong person, who chases her through the woods and slits her throat. Alice is left alone against Pamela, whose son Jason drowned at Camp Crystal Lake in 1957. Now all the counselors of the camp must die, and it is one or the other in a match to the death.Who will survive the long night at Camp Blood?

Horror suspense story with no raison d'être but a series of inventively gory shock moments, which were enough for it to ring the box-office bell.

Friday The 13th - A Solid Slasher Flick
Friday The 13th (Part One) is a solid slasher film, with some unexpected twists. Rated on its own it builds up slowly to a pulsating climax, but when compared ... read more »

So that's it, then?
So, the most recognisable of slasher flicks, and pretty much the template for horny teenagers in peril stories. And what humble beginnings it has.

failed to scare
Quite disappointing- maybe because Ive seen so many horror/slasher films that came after this one and cannot appreciate its impact in 1980.
