Friday the 13th (February 13th at the CWRU Film Society, Strosacker Auditorium)

[FRIDAY THE 13TH screens Friday February 13th at 7, 9 and 11 p.m. at the CWRU Film Society, Strosacker Auditorium.]

Review by Charles Cassady, Jr.

I would like to think that the CWRU Film Society has revived the original FRIDAY THE 13th, from 1980, as a Valentine's Day special. After all, this was the artless potboiler that did more than most in the tidal wave of slasher films, to directly equate having sex with getting pitilessly slaughtered. Works for me.


Or I would like to think that there is a sneakier, more subliminal message directed at campus moviegoers: in this economy, your chances of getting killed by a maniac are better than your chances of getting a job after graduation. Better prepare to slash your budget, he he. Oh, and your University Circle professors thank you for the wasted tuition money that pays their elite salaries. Speaking of horror.
