The most recent of movies in my horror movie marathon was Friday the 13th. This movie is one of the most well-known horror movies of all time, but I was surprised how little I knew. The version I watched was the very original, the first one, before Jason had a hockey mask, and when "he" was the boy's mom. I must say, I liked that movie more than I expected. I'm typically not a slasher film kind of person, but I liked the plot twists and the surprises they threw into it. Like the part where the boy is just relaxing after having sex with that girl, and Jason stabs him from underneath the bed. I really did not see that coming. I expected Jason to come and stab him, but not like that.
It was parts like that and when the boy popped out of the lake that really made me like this film. I want to watch the other ones, too, just to see what they decided to do with the rest of the films. The cinematography was pretty basic in this movie, but it worked well. The shot towards the end where the girl was dragged in the lake was beautiful, and really well done. Over all I enjoyed it, and I would suggest to watch it, after you've watched The Silence of the Lambs and The Shining, of course.
