Description

30 years ago, a small horror film gave birth to 12 sequels, an endless body count and one of the most terrifying icons in horror history. Gore FX legend Tom Savini is your host for the ultimate documentary on everybody’s favorite hockey-masked momma’s boy and his three decades of cinematic carnage, featuring classic clips from every Friday the 13th movie, rare behind-the-scenes footage, and over 80 interviews with filmmakers, actors, stuntmen, FX artists, journalists and fans including Sean Cunningham, Kane Hodder, Seth Green, Harry Manfredini, Betsy Palmer, Greg Nicotero, and many more. His Name Was Jason…and this is his incredible legacy!

    It’s a cool documentary about the classic slasher that we all know and love.

    A very poorly made documentary. Although it presents some interesting facts and trivia, the way it’s edited with people associated with different films randomly telling stories in no particular order feels unfocused and rushed. They jump from someone talking about the first one to someone else telling an unrelated story about the seventh one and so forth. It’s really a jumbled mess. They have some good material here, they just didn’t know how to assemble it in a cohesive manner. Go watch Crystal Lake Memories instead. THAT’S how to construct an in-depth, well-structured documentary about a film franchise.
