The 13th Friday Movie Reviews

A Friday without terror or thrills

Was not entirely excited by the idea of the story (though with the right execution it may have worked in a moderate guilty pleasure way), with it being nothing new and with the fear nothing new would be brought to it. Coming across ‘The 13th Friday’ by chance and having an appreciation for horror, despite not expecting an awful lot the decision was made to view it with an open and fair mind.

‘The 13th Friday’ turned out to be one of those films that didn’t really excite on paper but seen also as part of a low-budget horror quest on top of having appreciation for the genre, and didn’t fare much better, in fact it fared even worse, in how it was executed. Do not take any pleasure criticising the film, but it didn’t work for me at all in almost every aspect.

Some lighting was not bad and had some atmosphere, but that is for me the only praise that can be given. Especially when it was very difficult to appreciate, let alone enjoy, it properly when the editing especially was so confused and jumpy. Can definitely see the failed student film project comparison.

Audio is obvious and intrusive and although ‘The 13th Friday’ is not the director’s first film it honestly feels like a woefully inexperienced under-budgeted directing effort.

One of the worst aspects was the acting, which is unspeakably dreadful all round. Especially from the lead actress, giving perhaps one of the worst performances ever. The script is horrendously stilted and the characters are not interesting or rootable at all.

Furthermore, there is no tension or suspense whatsoever. The film is far too dully paced and uneventful to be thrilling and is just too silly, jumpy and predictable to evoke any sense of terror. Some of it is not very easy to follow either.

In summary, no thrills or terror to be found with this Friday. 1/10 Bethany Cox

More stupid than scary

This is definitely a student film project. Unfortunately it’s a very bad one even by those standards.

This movie suffers mostly from taking itself too seriously. And it uses every horror technique ever done by another horror movie. The mixture is too much and makes no sense.

The acting is so atrocious I thought they must have just gathered up some kids from the classroom to do this. No one seemed to know even the basics of acting. And the guy who was supposed to be a country bumpkin with a gun was hilarious the way he tried to do a fake accent.

This movie jumps all over the place. First we’re in an old house, then we jump to a cave with troglodytes in hoods and an idiotic girl with a torch. Is it a dream or a flashback? Who knows? Who cares? It has one of those strange boxes that unfold kind of like Hellraiser, but that doesn’t seem to have much bearing on the story.

Within 6 minutes of the beginning, it had the obligatory lesbian kiss that had no meaning to the story, but it might explain the high rating. These days you have to have that sort of thing just to get a movie produced.

I honestly can’t see how anyone could have given this more than a rating of 3. Maybe all the cast voted it a 10.

All the scare shocks are typical of many low budget horror stories these days. They may work to get screams in a theater, but are useless for the story.

The underlying plot is just plain lame. It takes a little while to figure out what’s going on, but by then you don’t care for any of the characters or what their problems are. And it make no sense anyway.

For some reason they used a mooing cow as a sound effect. You could hear people in the theater laughing every time. At least it got a few laughs. And every time that girl painted black showed up everyone burst out laughing too.

Just when you think you’ve seen the worst horror movie of all time, along comes something like this.

Wish I could get that hour and a half back.

Bottom line: it’s not scary, just stupid.

Nope

When I saw Uncork’d Entertainment was the distributor of this movie, I should have had the good sense to turn it off at that point. I love horror movies. I love bad B-list horror movies. This movie, however, isn’t one of those ‘it’s so bad it’s good.’ This movie is just awful-start to finish. The acting is absolutely atrocious, some of the worse I’ve seen if I’m being honest. The plot of the movie made no sense, the ghost story at the beginning of the movie was convoluted. But the worst part of this movie has to be the godawful editing. It jumps from one scene to the next randomly and without explanation, making it impossible to keep up or image what the director’s vision was.
