A Damn Good Documentary
5 May 2009
This I bought just before going to go see the remake and I have to say that for being a... partial fan?.... this was extremely eye opening for me. I learned crap that I had no idea even took place. The fact that The whole thing went so in depth was just icing on the cake for me. The interviews were great and it went though great deaths, the origins of the series, and whole bunches of crap that really just grabs your attention. I will say this however, because along with everyone in the world saying it and this little thing saying it, Friday The 13th did NOT invent the slasher genre. It may have pushed the envelope and made some of the rules that we see in all modern day slasher flicks but it sure as hell did not create the genre. Did everyone forget that Halloween came out two years before? Did everyone forget that there was a little film called Psycho that influenced both of these movies. Either way this documentary was great and for any fan of the series I recommend picking it up!
