Summary: Great set for Friday fans!
Comment: Featuring interviews with actors Adrienne King, Betsy Palmer, Amy Steele, Lar Park Lincoln and Corey Feldman. No interview with Dana Kimmell from Part 3, but she does do a commentary believe it or not! Also has interviews and commentaries with some of the directors. Some fans may not be completely happy because there is still no uncut footage. I am not a huge gore fan so that doesn't bother me. My favorites like many other fans are the first four films. Parts VI Jason Lives and VII The New Blood are good follow-ups, but Jason is less man-like and more zombie this time around. I would say Part V (A New Beginning) which featured a Jason imposter and Part VIII Jason Takes Manhatten are the weakest in the set. Still, it's a nice treat for any true fan!

Summary: Jason in a Box.
Comment: The Friday the 13th series is recognized as one of the most notorious of the 80's slasher flick genre. What we have here is a box set containing all 8 of the original films( excluding Jason goes to Hell, the awful unnecessary Jason X, and the upsetting letdown that was 'Freddy vs Jason').
The box set is done well, the picture and sound quality is great throughout. Any set backs? Unfortunately...yes. My biggest gripe is the special features DVD, and not really worth mentioning, but the graphic design of the box and dvd covers. I wasn't really digging the new 'Friday the 13th' font and the design of the individual covers; they opted not to go with the original poster art,but rather with an updated, 'Sci-Fi channel worthy' version.The bonus dvd is about 2 hours long;The filmmakers and special effects gurus offered an ensightful,but rather boring as hell commentary on each of the films; a last-minute add 'original versus final cut' deleted scene reel; a 'secrets behind the gore' exclusive on some of the flicks, amongst a few others. Only a few out of the 8 have Director's commentary with the feature.
If you're a fan of the series, by all means, buy it, my only point is that the series deserved a better treatment in it's dvd-era 're-birth'.

Summary: From Crystal Lake to Manhattan
Comment: This was a really crappy box set. All movies and a lackluster bonus dvd is all we get. I do like the slim cases and putting two movies onto one disc, but I would've liked the see unrated versions of the films-if they even exist. The one worth while feature is the deleted scenes from Friday the 13th VII-The New Blood. Alot of fans want the uncut version of the film and this is probably as far as we'll ever see is the deleted scenes from that movie. It has Jason's best kills and are the best thing about the set that makes it worth owning. Overall, its a good set with the bonus disc of deleted kills from Part 7 making it a keeper.

Summary: Slasher Heaven
Comment: Admittedly, you have to be a fan to fully appreciate this box set. Not only does it contain the first 8 films, and after viewing the next three, you can appreciate the work that went into the first 8. But it also contains an extras disc that was worth the purchase itself. Here in good old Aussieland, we were never given the option to view the infamous death of Jason uncut from The Final Chapter. Our censors in their impotent wisdom chose to cut out some of Tom Savini's best work and leave us with a truncated version of the film that was as scary as old Ralph (you're all doooooomed!!) Thankfully, I have now seen the full original version in all its g(l)ory (heh heh, pun intended) and I found it to be the film I always hoped it could be.
The extras disc, as I mentioned above, went one further by supplying scenes that were left on the cutting room floor, most notably, the ones that the American censors didn't want left in the film. A treasure trove indeed. Plus interviews with cast and crew and behind the scenes footage, this is a must for Friday and slasher fans alike.
Enjoy.
