This is the start of it all. If you are going into this expecting the iconic Jason, well, I am sorry. But this is the start of it and helps develop the character for the fiture movies. I always enjoyed FT13 growing up and have seen this before. However, honestly, this is a good slasher film. When you keep out of your mind of wanting to see the iconic Jason, this film is really great towards the end and actually gives you more background for the future films. This is the foundation for Jason and you need to keep that in mind. Also, this movie is 40 years old, so yes the acting may be okay at best, and the effects are cheesy, but if it was 1980, this would actually be quite the norm. But in terms of story and a nice plot twist towards the later half of the movie, it will always be a classic.
