The original Friday the 13th is undoubtedly a timeless classic for anyone who is a fan of horror. It has a lot of negative reviews around it saying that its a cheap movie and the only thing going for it is its gratuitous violence. I disagree though, it sets up such an incredibly atmosphere that isn't similar to any other horror film, other than the other greats of the time like Halloween. The atmosphere itself is the scariest part, as it really makes you feel like this could be real, and it could be you that's being followed. The movie really makes you feel like you are being stalked throughout. Not many horror movies after this have achieved that amount of atmospheric terror and that's why this is a classic. 4/5 @ecozones of the Teen Review Board of the Hamilton Public Library
