Terror and suspense abound in this 24-hour nightmare of blood. Camp Crystal Lake has been shuttered for over 21 years due to several vicious and unsolved murders. The camp's new owner and seven young counselors are readying the property for re-opening despite warnings of a "death curse" by local residents. The curse proves true on Friday the 13th as one by one each of the counselors is stalked by a violent killer.

A horror classic that set the standard for slasher flicks of the 1980s.
