 FRIDAY
THE 13TH DVD BOX SET. Rated R. Violence, gore, nudity.
Alright, we all know the deal with these movies and Jason Vorhees, so I’ll
spare the individual movie details. Blood, killings, gore, naked chicks,
twisted ankles, and a beat up hockey mask is what you get. I ask you, does
it get any better?
This
set is made up of five DVDs. Discs 1-4 contain the first eight Friday the
13th movies. The fifth DVD is jam packed with bonus features.
Concerning the movies; parts six, seven, and eight include commentaries by
the respective directors, with Kane Hodder joining in on part seven, and
various cast members chat it up in part three. Yes, I like all of these
movie, but parts one, two, and four stand out above the others. Due to its
intense and wicked icky gore, Friday the 13th Part IV is one of
my all time favorite slasher/horror flics! And you know you’ll never
forget that arrow being forced through a young Kevin Bacon’s neck in
part one. Paramount has included a fifth disc with some nice extras; an
approx 15-20 minute featurette for each movie (includes interviews with
cast and crew) revealing lots of funny and interesting info, three gore
featurettes, interviews with cast members, deleted scenes (that run side
by side with the released movie, a look at some of the movies’ props and
artifacts, and trailers for each of the movies. The interviews with the
cast and crew are fun, but Corey Feldmen is his usual annoying self and it
is obvious that FX master Tom Savini (a personal god of mine) partook to
pimp his make-up effects school. Being a big dork, when I first read that
this set was being released, I was actually excited. Now that I’ve
watched just about every minute of this set, I’m certainly not
disappointed and I sported one giant grin from start to finish. – Denis
