    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Friday the 13th: From Crystal Lake to Manhattan

    Joe, I am sorry, but I did think Freddy vs Jason had one of the most horrible and grating casts of all time. Laurie was one of the worst actresses I have ever seen in my entire life. Her lines and facial expressions were just an absolute nightmare to sit through. But, thats just my opinion of...

    Matt, I forgot about Freddy's Dead ending. I actually tried to erase the entire movie from my state of mind. I havent seen it in ages. Anyways, your right about that ending which makes no sense and also went against the rules Craven established for the character. Then again, so did Part 2...

    Freddy vs Jason is a direct continuation of Jason goes to Hell, but not Freddy's Dead. Thats how the script was written anyways. Much has happened between Freddy's Dead and Freddy vs Jason. Lori's mothers murder, the hypnocil epidemic, more murders, etc., all happened after Freddy's Dead...

    Some positive things to say now that I have the set. The transfers are of course the best the movies ever looked. All the soundtracks arent bad either. They all work very well for the most part. I was not fond of the 5.1 on 7. Didnt pack a punch though it was still ok. Then again the movie...

    Yes, Seems this was understocked. All 3 of our Best Buys, 2 Circuit City's, 2 Targets, and Walmart were all gone by the early afternoon. We live around a very busy shopping area though. One of the near towns is a Test Market area. Best Buy especially should have stocked more seeing as...

    Yes, But, Halloween 5 and 6 both did pretty poorly too. Halloween 5 made less than Jason X, so anything can recover it seems. ;) Halloween 6 made the same as Jason goes to Hell. Halloween 8 did make more because it advertised itself as hip with a hip cast and took place on Earth...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Friday the 13th: From Crystal Lake to Manhattan

    Dont get me wrong. I think New Line (pre FVJ Box Office days) made more mistakes with the character in two movies than Paramount ever did in eight. It wasnt until the New Line movies that Jason was completely looked at as a parody of his former self. In 1989, he was just looked at as tired...

    Mark, They were in New York for no more than 2 minutes. All the Alley shots, etc., were done in Canada I believe. The shot on the street. This is the only time they are actually in New York. The original idea was for a two part movie I believe. Part 8 was to take place fully on the cruise...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Friday the 13th: From Crystal Lake to Manhattan

    The really funny thing is the whole genre moved to camp comedy even though Elm Street 3, Elm Street 4, & Child's Play (somewhat. The first still mantained somewhat of a serious tone) were the only three movies to do theatrically well with the tone even back at the time when it was hot. Many...

    Matt. Thats probably why you are not much of a Friday fan. You missed them as they came out in the 80's. You say you have been a genre fan for 7 years? Well, that would mean you didnt really see them until the late mid 90's or so??? Is that right? If thats correct, you were most likely...

    The Friday 7 end credits on the first DVD were the same kind as those in 1-6. They were film. I am almost positive. April Fools Day (which was video on VHS) was film too on the first release. Dont know about the new DVD. Dont have it yet.

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Friday the 13th: From Crystal Lake to Manhattan

    I am always surprised to see the likings between the series depending on the person. They vary greatly depending on the person. Halloween 6 a step in he right direction? Dripping with atmosphere and above average genre fare? Im scared. Thats the first time I have ever heard that. No one I...

    Jason's Extreme Cuts - New F13 Attraction at Paramount's Kings Island! Here you go. Didnt know where else to put this. Thought it was interesting for anyone who ever goes to King's Island. I wouldnt mind going to Kings Island Fear Fest myself if I wasnt many states away. "Located in...

    I read a Netflix review of the first F13. I love it when people write up fake reviews that have never seen the movie. The reviewer says he knew who the killer was half way through the movie??? Hmmm... Wouldnt this be technically impossible considering the killer doesnt even show up for...

    Joe S, Well, thats very good news then. I wouldnt mind seeing several previous 3D films in 3D just to see them. Maybe some day they will be released by someone when this happens.

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Friday the 13th: From Crystal Lake to Manhattan

    Matt, That is true. But, I dont know if it should count when the later stories in all three series were generally dreadful and some of the worst ideas anyone could possibly come up with for these series? What were these script writers smoking? When the stories were simplistic is when...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Friday the 13th: From Crystal Lake to Manhattan

    Am I the only one who thought Part 5 really seemed like a softcore porn flick? I mean it just had a trashy feel to it in that way to me. Even the look to me. Imagine my surprise discovering most of the nudity was cut? Beaver shots, breast shots, inbetween the legs shots. What would they be...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Friday the 13th: From Crystal Lake to Manhattan

    The one thing that does suck about no Friday 3D is we are really running out of time on it. Give it too much longer and the opportunity wont even be there anymore. HDTV's are rapidly flooding the market place. As months go by, traditional tv's are becoming outdated and really wont be...

    Very Nice Review. Very nice job with it. Incredibly long, but it was for the best with the controversy surrounding the set. Although, who is Jennifer? I dont remember a Jennifer ever being in this series? Then again, I havent seen it in awhile so I may have forgotten. I was going to pass...
