Description of this Friday the 13th Poster
Friday the 13th is a 1980 American independent slasher film produced and directed by Sean S. Cunningham, written by Victor Miller, and starring Betsy Palmer, Adrienne King, Harry Crosby, Laurie Bartram, Mark Nelson, Jeannine Taylor, Robbi Morgan, and Kevin Bacon. The plot follows a group of teenage camp counselors who are murdered one by one by an unknown killer while trying to reopen an abandoned summer camp with a tragic past.
Encouraged by the success of John Carpenter’s Halloween (1978), director Cunningham placed an advertisement to sell the film in Variety in early 1979, while Miller was still writing the script. After casting in New York, filming took place in New Jersey during the summer of 1979, with an estimated budget of $550,000. A bidding war ensued for the finished film, and Paramount Pictures eventually acquired it for domestic distribution, while Warner Bros. secured the international distribution rights.
Released on May 9, 1980, Friday the 13th was a box office success, grossing $59.8 million worldwide. Critical reaction was divided, with some praising the film’s cinematography and music, while many others derided it for its depiction of graphic violence. In addition to being the first independent film of its kind to be distributed in the United States by a major studio, its box office success spawned a long series of sequels, a crossover with the A Nightmare on Elm Street film series, and a 2009 reboot of the series. A direct sequel, Friday the 13th Part 2, was released a year later.
In 1958 at Camp Crystal Lake, counselors Barry Jackson and Claudette Hayes sneak into a storage cabin to have sex, where an unseen assailant murders them. In the present day, in June 1980, camp counselor Annie Phillips is driven halfway to the reopened Camp Crystal Lake by Enos, a truck driver, despite warnings from old Crazy Ralph and the disgusted reactions of the locals. While driving, Enos warns Annie about the camp’s troubled past, beginning with the drowning of a young boy in Crystal Lake in 1957. After being dropped off, she again calls upon an unseen person to drive her past the camp. When Annie escapes from the vehicle, the killer chases her into the woods and slits her throat.
At camp, counselors Ned, Jack, Bill, Marcie, Brenda, and Alice, along with owner Steve Christy, are refurbishing the cabins and facilities. As a thunderstorm approaches, Steve leaves the campsite to gather supplies. Ned sees someone enter a cabin and follows. As Jack and Marcie make love in one of the cabin’s bunk beds, they don’t see Ned’s body above them, his throat having been slit. When Marcie goes out to use the bathroom, Jack’s throat is pierced by an arrow from under the bed. The killer follows Marcie into the bathroom and drives an axe into her face. When Brenda goes to bed for the night, she hears a little boy’s voice calling for help and goes out to the archery range, where the lights come on. Brenda screams. Later, Steve returns and recognizes the unseen killer, who stabs him to death. Worried about their friends’ disappearance, Alice and Bill leave the main cabin to investigate. They find the axe in Brenda’s bed, the phones unplugged, and Ned’s truck inoperable. When the power goes out, Bill leaves to check the generator. Alice goes looking for him and finds his body pinned by arrows to the generator room door. She flees to the main cabin to hide, but is further traumatized when Brenda’s body is thrown out the window. Shortly after, Alice sees a vehicle pull up and rushes outside, thinking it is Steve. Instead, she is greeted by Mrs. Voorhees, a middle-aged woman who claims to be an old friend of Steve and his family.
She reveals that her son, Jason, was the young boy who drowned in 1957, blaming his death on the counselors’ negligence because they were having sex instead. Revealing herself as the murderer, she attempts to kill Alice, but Alice knocks her unconscious. On the shore, Mrs. Voorhees tries again to kill Alice with a machete, but Alice gains the advantage and decapitates her. Exhausted, Alice boards a canoe floating on Crystal Lake and falls asleep. Suddenly, Jason’s rotting corpse pulls her into the lake. She then wakes up in a hospital, surrounded by a police sergeant and medical personnel treating her. When Alice asks about Jason, the sergeant replies that there was no sign of the boy. She says, “So he’s still here,” as the lake is shown with ripples in the water.
