Trailer—Saturday the 14th

This movie is a masterpiece! Well most people that have seen it are like 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. I like it But most people don't . But if you like notzilla you'll probably like this movie.

Very good movie, if you enjoy low-budget, early 1980's films. It is cheesy, the acting is SUPPOSED to be bad, as are the effects. The movie is intended as a family film, so its pretty mild, however if you've watched a lot of old horror films, especially low budget ones, you should love this. It is a good indication of at least some of the inspiration for newer movies such as the "Scary Movie" series. If you watch it, please keep in mind, it was made in 1981, even the movies that were well-funded and serious at that time appear campy to us now, so keep an open mind and a sense of humor and don't take the movie, or yourself, too seriously.

This movie is a classic. I loved watching it as a kid. It was a little scary but mostly funnny. The relatives are stuffy, money hungry vultures. When the one family inherits the house, the lawyer dies who is trying to tell them about the curse. The family moves into this cob-webbed, dark house. There are a lot of old books in the house. Once unleashed by opening THE book, the monsters are mostly funny. There is a little bit of violence. Then, there is your classic struggle of good vs. evil. I think this movie is good for the person who wants a little horror story with a lot of humor to balance out their mood.

I love a campy horror movie/spoof that doesn't take itself seriously. A good, bad ramen movie with character actor Jeffrey Tambor. Homages to Jaws, Creature from the Black Lagoon, The Werewolf, Dracula, Twilight Zone, etc. 1981 movie with that period's low budget effects... humorous product placement (Count Chocula cereal). Film and stage buffs/majors may be interested in the bios in some of the supporting cast.

According the movie, "If Friday the 13th is unlucky, Saturday the 14th is the worse". A family movies into a strange house that is inhabiated by many strange, undead monsters. The comedy of this movie is taking a horror scence and putting gags in it. Such as the mad scientist tasting his potion and saying "Not bad, but not good", or a mother finding a six-finger rubber glove. A good movie for the Halloween season.

A family inherit a large, creepy house which is home to an old book that opens up a world of assorted monsters. Horror comedy that has nothing what so ever to do with the Friday the 13th movies, this is a romp featuring vampires and other beasts, one of which looks like the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Made in 1981 I think this has aged quite well. The family gel well, after all the parents were a real life copy. There's plenty of horror shenanigans and simple comedy, at 77 minutes it runs along at a good pace.

This movie formed part of my childhood. Sitting down in my bedroom, 8, 9, 10 years old and sneaking on a black comedy every now and again. I had been looking for this film for years (not too actively I'll admit) and when it finally came on at 4 in the morning, I was all set to go. My only advice after watching it is, if this film held a special place in your heart when you were a kid like me, is leave it there. It does not stand up to the test of time. Old black comedies like Transylvania 65000/Ghoulies/Critters etc have stood the test of time to a certain extent, but this just hasn't.

This movie was telecast on TV in my part of the world (India) in the early Nineties when the cable TV boom hit India. It was released as Friday THE 13th IS BAD, Saturday THE 14th IS WORSE. With a catchy title like that how can we miss this scary movie. At that time I had heard about the Friday the 13th horror series- but had not seen that movie. My brother and I waited with baited breath for this movie which we expected to be much, much, much more terrifying than Friday the 13th. but what we saw was a mild movie; a movie which just about gets a D- grade among horror movies. At that time id dint know that this was a spoof, or that its one not to be taken seriously. now thinking back- did i enjoy that movie- yup- and its another golden oldie which i treasure of my childhood.

Wow, did we lose our sense of irony? This movie is SUPPOSED to be bad! And it knows it! It winks at itself through the entire film. It's a ludicrous, silly, absurd and wonderful movie. It pokes fun at the often-ridiculous hallmarks of "traditional" horror films with a great sense of hyperbole. The acting is brilliant in its awfulness ("Look at all these OWLS!"), the special effects are laughable (except for that severed head...there's something about it that's always creeped me out), and it's also a nice little commentary on "normal" families and how well they often DON'T know each other at all. This is a really, REALLY bad movie---but in the really, REALLY best way.
