Joe B @RT58960966 Apr 8, 2026 I really wanted to like this movie. There are quite a few early 80s, late 70s movies that I enjoy, and I was hoping that this movie's status as a classic would mean I'd have a new movie to add to the collection. This movie will not be added to the collection. This horrible, boring, movie, while short in duration felt like it was almost two hours long, and not even slightly in a good way. It's not that the plot moves slowly, it actually moves at a fairly brisk pace, but there's absolutely no substance to it and just doesn't pique even the most infinitesimal mote of interest in me. Y'know, I'm not some erudite, up my own ass, wannabe critic, I'm just a guy who likes horror movies and comedies. This makes Scary Movie look like high art. This is, possibly, one of the single worst movie experiences I have ever had in terms of engagement. This movie is so bad, I signed up just to write this review warning others without giving spoilers. Absolute trash.

All I know is that almost every bad review is missing the point! This movie is a classic- it's so bad it's good. The masterful absurd acting of Paula Prentiss as Mary throughout the entire movie still gets me every single time- how do people not see that?! It's also actually a little scary too. Maybe mixing "naked gun"- esque humor with some horrifying monsters isn't for everyone but it's a nostalgic five star good time for me.

See more Michael B @RT70168164 Jul 24, 2025 A Review from the Depths: Saturday the 14th Will Haunt You (Whether You Like It or Not) They said it was a movie. They said it was a comedy. They lied. I watched Saturday the 14th at midnight, alone, in total darkness—thinking I was in for a goofy, light-hearted horror spoof. What I got instead... was something far more sinister. From the opening frame, I felt a chill. Not from the movie—but from my soul trying to escape my body. The acting? Unnatural. The dialogue? As if written by a cursed typewriter possessed by a confused dad. The monsters? So grotesque, so surreal, they couldn’t possibly be the work of man. (Seriously. One looked like a cross between a sea sponge and a tax audit.) At first, I tried to laugh. I wanted to laugh. But the deeper I went, the more I felt the oppressive weight of confusion pressing on my chest. Nothing made sense. Time lost meaning. I checked the clock. Only 15 minutes had passed. I was already weeping. The film dragged me through a haunted house of nonsense—fanged creatures, cursed books, inexplicably enthusiastic organ music—and left me somewhere between existential crisis and mild indigestion. When it finally ended, the silence was deafening. I stared at the blank screen, empty. Forever changed. My popcorn had gone untouched. My cat refused to be in the room with me. My TV may now be haunted. I give Saturday the 14th five shrieks out of five. Not because it's scary... but because I screamed the whole time anyway. Do not watch it alone. Do not watch it sober. In fact—just... don’t. Grab your favorite beverage, Sit in your favorite chair, Pop some popcorn and Press Play....Then go take a cold shower.

If you grew up in the 80s you most definitely watched and enjoyed this it was a must see. See more Shawn R @satiable Dec 14, 2024 Ya definitely gotta check this out on a Saturday the 14th!
