Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
zoecaterina This was one of the weirdest movies I have ever seen but it was so funny that it didn't really matter. I was laughing the whole time.
advnarayan This movie was telecast on TV in my part of the world (India) in the early Nineties when the cable TV boom hit India. It was released as Friday THE 13th IS BAD, Saturday THE 14th IS WORSE. With a catchy title like that how can we miss this scary movie. At that time I had heard about the Friday the 13th horror series- but had not seen that movie. My brother and I waited with baited breath for this movie which we expected to be much, much, much more terrifying than Friday the 13th. but what we saw was a mild movie; a movie which just about gets a D- grade among horror movies. At that time id dint know that this was a spoof, or that its one not to be taken seriously. now thinking back- did i enjoy that movie- yup- and its another golden oldie which i treasure of my childhood.
irishm I tried streaming this recently, because I had loved it as a kid, but about fifteen minutes in when it stalled and the "buffering" bar showed up, I turned it off and moved along to something else. I doubt I'll go back and try to finish it. Love Richard Benjamin and Severn Darden, but not quite enough to sit through this film as an adult. I had forgotten that Jeffrey Tambor was in it; he was pretty good too from what I saw. A few good lines, most of them from Benjamin: "Mary, this ice is so... old." I don't discriminate against inexpensive films or films with poor special effects, just as long as I enjoy them, but this one just seemed dull. Fine for what it was back in the day; does not age well.
happy_skull I saw this movie when I was 10 and thought it was the funniest thing ever. I haven't seen it in over 20 years, but I have fond memories. It was low budget. It was corny. It's not gross out like the Scary Movie films, and I'm betting it's funnier than the unfunny Scary Movie 3. However, it's probably less funny than Transylvania Twist which I recommend (the DVD for that has a trailer for Saturday the 14th that makes Saturday the 14th look terrible).I recommend showing this movie to 10-12 year olds.The one thing that will either increase the entertainment value or lower it are the songs. There is at least one musical number in the movie. I recall enjoying it.
