The sequels are mostly better, because they're at least fun. The original is a made-for-cash slasher film that embrasses what Black Christmas and Halloween started. And Romeo&Juliet -- did you just call Halloween pompous because it doesn't follow *current* slasher rules? Made for cash huh? Cunningham and the crew expected it to do well for a weekend or to, and then ust disappear not to appear on cinema for a while. Not made for cash. I personally like Halloween better, but Halloween I found more slow paced and boring then Friday the 13th. I found Black Christmas to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen, I in no way state that friday the 13th is the best slasher ever made, I am just saying that it deserves credit for what it accomplished. Want a decent piece of horror film making, see Psycho, Silennce of the Lambs or even Halloween, but if your to high class, stay away from Friday the 13th. (I was not directing those lines at you, but rather at everyone)
