Crystal Lake's history of murder doesn't deter counselors from setting up a summer camp in the woodsy area. Superstitious locals warn against it, but the fresh-faced young people -- Jack (Kevin Bacon), Alice (Adrienne King), Bill (Harry Crosby), Marcie (Jeannine Taylor) and Ned (Mark Nelson) -- pay little heed to the old-timers. Then they find themselves stalked by a brutal killer. As they're slashed, shot and stabbed, the counselors struggle to stay alive against a merciless opponent.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

A grisly campfire tale in slasher form, Friday the 13th delivers a brutal showcase of creative, effects-driven kills that never quite disguises its threadbare plotting or lack of genuine chills.

…there’s something nasty waiting in the top bunk, plus some startling kills, and while this franchise fragmented rather quickly once Jason just became a killing machine, this original shocker still has more than enough juice in it to work… Go to Full Review Tim Pulleine Monthly Film Bulletin Sep 29, 2026
