That would make sense if trannies didn't overwhelmingly love this franchise

Part 2, 4, and 6 are generally considered the franchise's peak, and by peak, I mean the only good ones.

>>213034701 (me)
Oh and I wanted to ask if anyone else licks their hand after they finish wiping like I do.

>>213034650 (OP)
You have bad taste

What didnt you like? I was actually really surprised. I forgot Kevin Bacon actually has a huge role so that was a really big bonus for me. Then his love interest as I recall is like a clone of Stephen Spielbergs first wife as I recall. The star of Brian De Palma's Fury? I actually couldn't believe it wasn't her. So that was another huge bonus. Just really the cast in general just completely shocked me. And then the music of course and really just everything. Not excellent or really even very good but I was still very surprised by how good it was. I assume guaranteed in the top 5 whereas before as I had remembered it I put it in the bottom 5 of the franchise.

>franchise has 12 movies
>not a single one of them is good
Any other examples of this?

>>213034650 (OP)
#1 is an objectively terrible movie in retrospect. But it was groundbreaking and edgy when it came out, and it's important to note that most people who love the franchise got into it through the movies that came out AFTER the first 3.

If you look at retrospectives of the series and the original movies, they were marketted expertly and had people financially backing it who actually had a few brain cells to rub together.

>>213034740
I didn't like it because my wife's bull said it was stupid.

>>213034710
3 was good. 6 and 7 started getting a little too ridiculous with magic powers, or whatever the hell was going on. 8 was good too.

>hailed as a classic masterpiece
The Friday the 13th movies were initially viewed as cashgrab schlock.
Through the 80's and 90's people watched them "ironically" but this elevated them to being a part of pop culture, which always results in uncritical geeks latching onto them and elevating them even higher.

>>213034650 (OP)
>>see this hailed as a classic masterpiece for my entire life
No, you haven't.

>>213034896
Certainly over the top but I actually think 7 is the best followed by 4 and 6

The kinda movie that takes its time to just hang out and play Monopoly

Quick! What was the name of the neighboring lake?

>friday the 13th
>masterpiece
no one has ever said this
Its a pretty decent slasher movie with a twist that spawned 8 sequels that range from pretty dumb to surprisingly ok.
And jason X is the greatest thing ever put on film.

>>213035352
7 has my favorite jason and great stunts

It's so fucking bland, boring and predictable. The only good thing about Friday the 13th is the music. Holy shit, even the worst one (Jason Takes Manhattan) has a 10/10 theme song.

>series peaks with the 10th movie

Any other examples of this?

None of the Friday the 13th movies are hailed as masterpieces or even very good (though there is some cheesy fun from 3 onwards) but Jason himself is undeniably iconic.

The 2nd best soundtrack in film history right behind Jaws. In addition to having the iconic cue it also has generally excellent music. If it's not 2nd then its Psycho but still one of the best and most underrated soundtracks ever. Although I am of course giving huge credit to these music cues but that seems fairly standard.

So what was the deal with the Alone In the Dark hockey mask? That came out within like 6 months right? Did they see the script or something? Or did they actually do it first but Friday the 13th guys saw their script and beat em to the punch?

>>213034730
He's actually right, Friday the 13th is slop, turboslop actually. Watch some Elm Street shit OP, that'll clean your palate of that worthless merchandiseslop shit.

>>213034650 (OP)
are you me? i just watched this the other night and was bored out of my mind.
the plot twist was interesting but holy fuck it was really boring getting to that point.

>see this get panned and shit on since release
>finally watch it 20 some years later
>it's actually really fun and meta and finally does something different
I fucking hate gen x.

lol zoomers can't pay attention to anything unless it's 43 seconds long and has 100 jump cuts.

No one ever said it's a masterpiece. It is an influential classic though.

This doesn't get talked about enough, almost every one of these movies has an incredible soundtrack for no reason. What a fucking waste.

Would that really be possible to decapitate her like that especially by her with that physique. But let's say it was swarzenegger. Realistically could that happen? What if the blade was super sharp? How sharp would it need to be?

>>213034650 (OP)
no one ever, ever praises or talks much about Friday the 13th part 1.

everyone loves Jason. everyone only cares about Jason. period.

The movies are kind of all over the place plotwise, but that adds to the charm.

>1st: Jason's mother is a psycho who wants to kill camp counselors for letting Kid Jason die as a kid
>2nd: Kid Jason actually wasn't dead but was innawoods retard that wears a sack on his head 'cause he's ugly and kills counselors for killing his mom
>3rd: Continuation of the second movie, but now Hillbilly Jason wears the iconic hockey mask
>4th: End of the slasher trilogy, Hillbilly Jason gets killed by child Tommy Jarvis
>5th: Tommy Jarvis is an adult with PTSD and a copycat killer pretends to be Hillbilly Jason and terrorizes him. People hate this film for no actual Jason but might be the most solid entry.
>6th: Whole franchise pivots here. Tommy digs up Jason's corpse for closure and a magic lightning bolt hits it and now Hillbilly Jason has become Undead Jason is an unstoppable juggernaut
>7th: Undead Jason vs Carrie with telekinetic powers for some inexplicable reason
>8th: Undead Jason kills people on a boat then goes to the Big Apple because
>9th: Big retcon. Jason wasn't really raised by a magical lightning bolt and wasn't an innawoods psycho but can body hop and possess people. See, he comes from a magic bloodline and the only way to kill him is with the +3 Dagger of Vorhees that they forgot to mention in the first 8 films. Jason gets poked and gets sent to hell
>Interlude - Freddy vs Jason: Freddy summons Undead Jason from hell and hijinks ensue between the two
>10th: Undead Jason goes to space and becomes Cyborg Jason and kills people on a spaceship

I know it wasn't the best movie, but I enjoyed it. Haven't watched that many slashers, so the concept was still fresh.

You were supposed to watch these in the 80s with your girlfriend and use it to get laid. I have no idea what people watching these movies now get out of it

Wait so it's basically explicitly stated that Jason drowned in 1957? And this movie takes place in "present day" 1980? Wtf

>>213034754
>not a single one of them is good
Incorrect.

>>213034754
F13 doesnt hit the peaks of other franchises, but its consistent in its quality. Halloween veers into the unwatchable; NOES commits character assassination; Hellraiser films get lazy; and so on. As bad as F13 gets, I doubt anything is as awful as Busta Rhymes or introducing child rape.

>>213036101
>It is an influential classic though
That's Halloween. F13 was a dime a dozen bandwagon slasher.

>>213036285
Innawoods Hillbilly Jason might be my favourite, even though he's missing the iconic hockey mask.

>>213036834
Or wasn't that really Black Christmas?

>>213036878
I can see the argument but barely anyone saw it outside of Canada.

>>213036833
I agree that Friday, while still utter shit, is more consistent than most other slasher franchises. But Jason has raped a kid, disembowled a dog, and attempted to kill a baby. It's pretty awful.

>>213034710
>Part 2, 4, and 6 are generally considered the franchise's peak
the first couple jason is barely around. people fail to realize these movies were on ongoing yearly thing that went on for an entire decade. plus the 80s was the decade for horror movies

So what was up with the very ending? It was really just a dream that he came out of the water? Because it's basically explicitly stated that Jason drowned in 1957. And this movie takes place in "present day" 1980. But she repeatedly referred to him as a boy when telling the police he came out of the water and was still out there. Otherwise canonically Jason is apparently in his early 30s for the series.

>>213036978
don't forget the incest in 9

my favorite

>>213034650 (OP)
What were you expecting, this film hails from classics like Psycho, Halloween and Carrie. Slow-burn, atmospheric, building suspense type of horror probably not what you're used to.

>>213034710
I like Part 5

>>213034754
They are all objectively terrible movies indeed, this franchise is lucky that Jason is probably one of the best character designs in any media ever.

>>213037521
Jason X and Freddy vs Jason are the peak Jason movies.

>>213036833
Busta Rhymes was kino

>>213035005
This.
Friday 13th a Classic masterpiece? Where? in fucking Congo?
This is not Halloween nor the Exorcist, you got your early 80s horro classics all mixed up my young friend.
The Jason franchise was always slop. From day one. Big slop, Freddy is more intellectual than this. Seriously. But because Hollywood has been milking the same shitty cheap franchise for decades, now we got millenials thinking this is some achievment in cinema?
gimme a break

>>213034650 (OP)
Friday the 13th movies were always schlock. Very successful schlock that is.

True, that song only appeared for like 10 seconds but that was enough for people to demand the full version, which was considered lost until a couple of years ago.

OP is a nigger. Simple as

>>213034754
Jason Lives is legitimately fun, it's the only one to me that felt like it actually tried to be more than a cheapo slasher movie

>>213034754
Not /tv/ but the zoomer version of this is Five Nigths at Freddy's

>>213034650 (OP)
I hear you. There was a time when I was young and still liked slasher movies, but they're completely unwatchable as an adult.

I've only watched 1-5
Only legitimately good one was 4, 3 had some moments and /ourguy/ Shelly but was mediocre.
1, 2 are just boring.
5 is so bad, it kinda becomes good. It's like a parody film.

>>213037924
Based Part 5 enjoyer

The studio making these was embarrassed by them, but they were just too damn profitable to stop making.
My favorite franchise of all time. Part 3 is the definitive slasher movie.

>>213034650 (OP)
I've only seen prom night from the same year. Is prom night better? The killer on the dancefloor scene is so dope that I can't imagine Friday the 13th tops it

It's always been the cheapest and nastiest of the 'big' horror franchises carried by it's couple of good movies and Jason being simply iconic
There's high points but the low points are pretty low

>>213034650 (OP)
It's great, and it's actually underrated. Most people prefer Parts 2-4 or Part 6. No one ever hailed Part 1 as a "masterpiece" except in your headcanon

>>213040776
I checked and I gave them the same rating 5/10

The original Friday the 13th and even Halloween do not play well to modern audiences. I love them both for their comfy settings, leisurely pace and nostalgia but it's not exactly outrageous to expect a zoomer to be horrified by how boring they find them.

>>213040773
>Part 3 is the definitive slasher movie.
Based and part3pilled. Part 3 has the best roster of characters, deaths, Jason and cutest girls.
