#Friday the 13th blu ray box set series

(YouвЂ™ll really be able to tell the difference on this and all the other discs). Cunningham,вЂќ another fact repeating bit, are all given the HD upgrade, while the Savini-centered вЂњSecrets Galore Behind the GoreвЂќ and the behind-the-scenes extra вЂњThe Friday the 13th ChroniclesвЂќ are both still in their original standard definition formats. These and вЂњThe Man Behind the Legacy: Sean S. VoorhiesвЂќ Palmer and actress Adrienne King all show up for the вЂњ Friday the 13th Reunion,вЂќ and вЂњFresh Cuts: New Tales from Friday the 13th showcases quite a few interviews with Cunningham and others ,where a lot of the same information is rehashed, albeit enjoyably.

Special effects master Tom Savini, Miller, Betsy вЂњMrs. For special features, we get an enjoyable commentary from Cunningham, Crystal Lake Memories author Peter Bracke and screenwriter Victor Miller, and itвЂ™s an in-depth take on the filmвЂ™s production and inspirations, all while still being pretty amusing. As well, the soundtrack is balanced and Harry ManfrediniвЂ™s signature string motifs are just as striking as they ever were. In my mindвЂ™s eye, I remembered all of the pre- Jason X flicks drowning in blood and the sweat of horny teenagers, but it isnвЂ™t really like that at all to a certain extent.ДЄnyway, while the original may lose some of its homegrown appeal by having a high-def transfer, it was still low-budget enough so that the grain isnвЂ™t completely vanquished.

This is a trend that becomes increasingly more apparent as one goes through the series and the special features, many of which point a finger at the MPAA for forcing trimmed-down cuts of the films to alternately remove moments of gore and sex. The filmвЂ™s obvious FPV nods to John CarpenterвЂ™s Halloween arenвЂ™t as blatant as they were around the time of the filmвЂ™s release, and the kills are actually pretty tame by todayвЂ™s standards. The first and arguably best film of the series, Sean CunninghamвЂ™s original Friday, looks and sounds as good as it ever did, and still stands up incredibly well for a вЂњgoofy kids get picked off by a madman (or madwoman),вЂќ especially when viewed in the same sitting as Marcus NispelвЂ™s pretty dreadful 2009 reboot.
