Movie Review - Friday the 13th

Where is the point in all the sequels?
This really should score a zero. Have a flashback scene, a summer camp in the 1950's, some people get killed. Have a graphic saying present day (1 saying it was 1980 might have helped?) A guy is trying to get an old summer kids camp started up. his various staff get killed one by one, starting with the cook. We get down to 1 girl left and this is nearly 2 hours into the movie then the plot is finally explained. "Oh, I'm Mrs Voorhees. Jason's mum. Jason died by drowning because camp attendants weren't paying attention. In the 1950's" and this has WHAT to do with a bunch of people starting up the same camp 30 yrs later, exactly? They didn't kill him! Mrs. Voorhees tries to kill the last girl alive & generally shows she's a mental psycho b**ch. Then the girl manages to cut the woman's head off. Fake ending with c**p and predictable scare. Real ending with girl going on about dead boy thinking he's alive.

Now how did they get 1 sequel out of that ending? The film is utter garbage. Possibly the busiest person in the crew was the sound man. Every time their in an interior and moving stuff the sound is SO loud! Kevin Bacon in a forgettable role, nice death scene but how did he & the girl he was screwing miss a dead man 4ft above their heads? This film gets a zero.
So bad it's worse than "Best Defense" & "Ishtar" - AVOID!
