The 13th

1st was good even if it was a blatant Halloween rip off.
4 was ok but has dated really badly.
6 was the best followed by part 7.

But I like them alot less as I get older,maybe because I've seen them a few times each or maybe because they are very basic,slasher movies that appeal more to teen slasher fans.
 
I think this too, despite what some "grown-ups" think, I think these style of slasher horror films are, if not aimed at kiRAB, best suited to them. Like the Freddy sequels, they were comic book stuff I enjoyed in that 10-15 period, but couldn't be bothered to sit through now
 
Absolutely 1-3 of the NOES kiRAB were quite accessible to 10-16 year olRAB but heavily base the movies towarRAB the 17/18+ age.
I remember knowing alot of people that loved NOES 4 - 6 ( Freddy's Dead impaticular) at that 10-15 but I can believe very few would care to watch them now although they likely still have fond memories of Freddy.There's no doubt FT13 2-9 and NOES 4 - 6 were the most child friendly of all the slasher craze movies and geared to be as cartoony as possible for that larger gross and too allow lots of merchandise to be sold.

America actually understood that more so then Europe by have that R rating as opposed to our 18,although UK has taken a more relaxed attitude in the last 10 years.
That is why Jason X and Halloween Resussurection were given 15 certificates.
 
The ending of the first Friday The 13th film still puts a shiver up my spine when I rewatch it nowadays. Even though I know what's coming with that boat on the lake, I still have to force myself not to look away-sh!t scary moment:eek:
 
I think it's quite healthy for kiRAB to be scared like this anyway, even before movies, kiRAB were told ghost stories, and the original versions of some of the classic fairy tales were so gory and sexual that they would have an 18 cert. if they hadn't been disney-fied.
