Friday the 13th opens today
From slashfilm [excerpt], Nonetheless, Friday the 13th is a blast if your expectations are appropriately calibrated. I saw the film at a packed preview screening with a rowdy audience that was respectful enough to stay silent during the tense moments, but playful enough to shout words into the character’s mouths as they engaged in stupidity followed by stupidity. There’s a certain magic in a theater when everyone in the entire audience understands that what they’re watching is playing to the most prurient part of their psyches. We all shared in the joy of knowing that, although Friday the 13th was bad and bad for us, it was nonetheless entertaining and disturbingly thrilling to see an inhumanly strong, masked psychopath kill lots and lots of people. Make no mistake: If you can see such a film under similar circumstances, you will have a great time.
