Again, no theatrical trailer, which is a shame, because I seem to remember this one having a somewhat amusing trailer.

The most random extra though has to be a feature on Part VII that follows two female cast members as they get together for a makeover. If you love horror, and you love the idea of a invincible serial killer wearing a hockey mask, you're in luck. Cunningham, as he would display in future projects, obviously isn’t a filmmaker, and he’s unable to wring much tension out of the wonderful atmosphere. I took a few stabs (no pun intended) at coming up with a gameplan for reviewing this massive set, and then I struck on one that I think will satisfy everyone: we’re going to spend most of our time here discussing the set’s special features.English, French and Spanish Dolby Digital mono mixes are also included, as are English SDH, French, Spanish and Portuguese subtitles. The set is packaged in an attractive tin with a heavily embossed cover image of Jason with his machete and a Camp Crystal Lake dock on the back. If it's extras you want then I can recommend the DVD "His name was Jason", released to celebrate 30 years of Friday the 13th. Friday the 13th Part 2 : After a tense trademark opening, the film tails off, only for the shock formula to re emerge for the final third, with yet another unexpected ending.

The set begins with the original Friday the 13th and concludes with the 2009 remake, with several of the sequels making their Blu-ray debut. Besides the largely-extras-less third installment, this is the lightest-on-special-features disc in the set. Released less than a year after the original, Part II saw Steve Miner take over the director's chair. Independently owned and operated publications like Slant have been hit hard in recent years, but we’re committed to keeping our content free and accessible—meaning no paywalls or fees. Vorhees”, which is exactly what you think it is; deleted scenes (note: all “deleted scenes” are referred to in this boxed set as “slashed scenes” because, come on, how clever is that); and one of those newfangled “original theatrical trailer” thingamajigs.Fans are divided on the merits of Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (*** 1/2 out of *****), which actually does something other than send a bunch of soon-to-be victims to Camp Crystal Lake. These opening deaths are violent and suspenseful, and by the time the opening title appears, I felt like I had watched a complete movie.

Sure, I’ve seen all the Friday The 13 th films over the years, but—in between Thanksgiving, travel, and this ongoing “Invent a Perpetual Motion Machine/Wafflemaker” project I’ve got brewing—time wasn’t going to allow me to rewatch every one of these films. Events then skips to the present day with a group of teenagers set to go camping at Camp Crystal Lake, the scene of previous atrocities. The second one is the first where our beloved Jason is the killer, and the third is where he aquires his infamous hockey mask. I promptly lost the pair of 3D glasses that came with the set, because I’m a jackass who doesn’t deserve to have nice things.However, the bonus disc, which included some behind the scenes and cast interviews were a delight at that moment in time for the franchise.

Black levels are good, as is shadow detail, and there is absolutely no trace of digital manipulation. Very impressive work done by Paramount here, so much so that I can’t help but feel that the gauntlet’s been thrown down for New Line to do something similar for the Nightmare on Elm Street series.
