Movie Review: Friday the 13th 3D (1982)
Letterbox link: 3 1/2 stars
Caught a continuity error this time: The hammock bed, during sex, has a homemade quilt, after the shower has a fur blanket. Whoops.
Now I have the first three, my favorites out of the series, as steelbooks. I am a happy 80’s teen.
The age difference in appearance between Rick and Chris has always struck me as so odd. Looks like a teen and her teacher, instead of two teenagers.
I like how this series, at times, is willing to go there. As Sean Cunningham said on the extras on the first steelbook, it was never about punishing naughty sexual teens. It was about how bad things happen to us; let’s look at that. So they go there. In the second one, a disabled teen is killed, and completely on-screen; and in this one, one of the victims was pregnant. That’s real life, and horror helps us face real life and deal with it in a safe venue.
There I go, philosophizing after Friday the 13th 3D. Had to use my master’s degree today, I guess.
