The best of the series

I grew up fearing these movies in the 80's, but now in college, they've developed cult status galore. All of the films are obviously low budget films with horrible acting and very little style or panache to fill in the gaps between deaths. But we all know what kind of movie this is before we watch it anyway...we watch these movies because, let's admit it folks, cheap scares and a high body count that we all find ourselves counting provides us with wonderful entertainment. This one is actually well done in my opinion. It has good horror elements and plays off the comic relief well, though, maybe a little too much so. This is one of those popcorn munching films you have to rent with a room filled with people just so you can laugh at it's stupidity...but the great thing about this film is that it succeeds in letting the viewer know that it is making fun of itself. After part five (which I will say wasn't as bad as most people say it was, but by no means was a GOOD movie at all either), the producers needed to revitalize the series, and they did so successfully. For anyone checking the Friday films, definitely get the first one first, but the order in best to worst of the series is 6,4,1,7,3,2,5,8,9. Definitely worth the 99 cents it costs to rent this slasher flick.
