The late Betsy Palmer, who played the role of Mrs. I think this death after the time-jump was a faultless move, as it sets the tone perfectly for what is going to happen later: a bunch of innocent young people will be brutally murdered without having done anything to deserve it. The acting in β€œFriday the 13th” is mostly plain or, in some cases, over the top, which, along with the silly dialogs and lines, provides the film with an enjoyable campy nature.

Some films benefit with time, maturing and holding a nostalgic charm. Perhaps I had to be alive in 1980 to actually appreciate this one, but it is really not as groundbreaking as some people like to think it is, rather another spin on films like _Psycho_ and _Halloween_, minus the budget.

It's decent, but not without flaws. it brought back the feeling of jump scares that actually work.
