Here’s our ranking of every Friday the 13th movie:ġ2.
Here, on Friday the 13th, is our ranked guide to all 12 movies so far-some surprisingly decent, others so legendarily awful it’s hard to believe they exist (here’s to you, Jason Takes Manhattan!).Īnd we can’t help but wonder-when will we finally get the long-gestating 13th film in the series to bring it up to the total it’s been gunning for all along? The man is epic with a machete, and even in death he still finds a way to keep it going. But after 36 years, 12 movies, more than 200 deaths and adventures that span from space to hell, Jason’s series has carved out a special and enduring place in the legacy of horror cinema and slasher films in particular.īesides, sequel after sequel, Jason’s enduring beef with oversexed teenagers kinda grows on you. Other than the sheer number of them, the most remarkable thing about the Friday the 13th series is that not a single one is really a spectacular film on its own.
