[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 243313, member: 23"] [CENTER][B][I]Friday The 13th[/I][/B] (1980) [MEDIA=youtube]4d98TGcx15Q[/MEDIA] Another one I haven't watched for some years. What struck me this time is the lack of immersion one feels when watching compared with the other slashers I've watched recently. There's no real suspense, little intensity and only low level feeling of unease. And the death set pieces lose their potency after the first watch so the viewer ends up watching them with detached half interest. It is fun, though. The scenery - from the small New Jersey township to the young people in swimwear - is attractive. Harry Manfredini's music - with its iconic "ki ki ki ma ma ma" motif - creates a nice atmosphere, as does the storm raging outside while the counsellors are getting cosy inside. Betsy Palmer - when she finally appears - elevates the film by giving it meaning and a degree of truth. And the film's one big jump - even when I know it's coming - gets me every time.[/CENTER] [/QUOTE]
