You, on the other hand, will probably manage not to smash your case and lose parts of it immediately upon receiving it, and good for you.

The commentaries in general are refreshingly honest and even affectionate though; these people had no illusions of creating the next Juliet of the Spirits, as they were working for the money and possibly even for the chance to do a movie with a guaranteed audience that might hopefully earn them greater exposure. Yet Cunningham was clearly shrewd, and it’s obvious that his talents were more of the William Castle variety. Cunningham, as he would display in future projects, obviously isn’t a filmmaker, and he’s unable to wring much tension out of the wonderful atmosphere.

If you pick one of these up, be sure not to, y’know, toss it around like a football (or to stare at it too hard, for that matter). Tales from the Cutting Room Floor (17:12/SD); Friday Artifacts and Collectibles (7:01/SD); and assorted original trailers. Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse. The fan commentary also nicely contrasts with the considerably dryer filmmaker commentaries, revealing that one person’s cultural touchstone is just another person’s day at work.Autographs are signed, stories are told, and the kinds of silly questions that only an obsessive can muster are patiently answered. All you get are some TV Version Alternate Scenes (12:30/SD) and the film's Theatrical Trailer (1:13/SD). High school senior Rennie Wickham is in for the ride of her life – and possibly her death – when she and her classmates take a graduation cruise bound for New York City. The film was a moneymaker of a proportion that exceeded Cunningham’s wildest dreams, paving the way for Jason’s rise as mascot of the blossoming franchise.

The trade-off, however, is that Part 3 ushered in the use of studio sets as opposed to on-location shooting, which means that the first film’s major contribution, its atmosphere, had been irreversibly compromised. All twelve films look and sound great and their HD presentations offer a substantial upgrade over previous SD releases. Marcus Nispel directs the 2009 reboot, Friday the 13th (*** 1/2 out of *****), which was produced by Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes production company.A distanced, scholarly Carol Clover kind of commentary on the films would’ve also been a nice way to round things out, but still, I can’t really imagine a Friday the 13th fan wanting much more than what’s already been included in this set of gratifyingly absurd indulgence.
