Friday the 13th (1980)


IMDb plot summary: A group of camp counselors are stalked and murdered by an unknown assailant while trying to reopen a summer camp which, years before, was the site of a child's drowning.
Directed by Sean S. Cunningham. Starring Adrienne King, Harry Crosby, Laurie Bartram, and Betsy Palmer.

Not much to say about this one. It was more fun than I thought it would be. As I only know Jason's story through various pop culture references, it took some unexpected turns for me at the end, which was fun.

3 stars.
