Friday the 13th (1980) ****.

"You're doomed...you're all doomed!", Crazy Ralph, (Walt Gorney), Sean S. Cunningham's "Friday the 13th", (1980).... *** It was a time in which young teenagers flocked to Camp Crystal Lake. A place in which death and tragedy happened in the late nineteen fifties.

The camp, which was opened in nineteen thirty-five, (four years before World War II), was once the most popular camp in America; it was a time in which Pamela Sue Voorhees, (Betsy Palmer), got her revenge over her son's death. Or did he die?...Steve Christy, (Peter Brouwer), was convinced that the camp would re-open back in nineteen seventy-nine. With the help of his girlfriend Alice Hardy, (Adrienne King), the head camp counsellors thought it was safe to spend Friday the 13th, (and the rest of the week); Christy, who spent $25,000 to 'fix up' the camp after convincing his parents to loan him the money, hired a group of campers to help out with them. But, sadly, the so-called 'death curse', and the dire warnings by old timer Crazy Ralph, (Walt Gorney), was sadly ignored. And the nightmare of Friday the 13th had begun... ***
