AKA - Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th. Wow, what a glorious time it is for diehard FRIDAY THE 13th fans, you know? Here is like the ULTIMATE DOCUMENTARY on the subject of making the entire franchise, from the original 1980 classic all the way through the 2009 remake. Based on the excellent coffee table and e-book of the same name by Peter Bracke (and yes, this card carrying FRIDAY fan has read both exhaustive volumes), this niche market DVD treasure interviews about anyone and everyone involved with the movies that was willing to spill the beans about their experiences (and reflections) on camera. From all the luscious Final Girls and your favorite male and female victims all the way to Paramount producer Frank Mancuso, Jr. himself, all perspectives are covered. ALL the directors (sans the typically elusive Steve Miner) are represented. For the diehard fans of this pivotal slasher franchise (and the strange TV show it spawned in the late 80's/early '90's), this documentary of talking head interviews is PURE GOLD. Wanna hear about playing Jason? Shooting the sex scenes? Thoughts on the nudity? FRIDAY 5's pornographic roots and reputation? How Sean Cunningham and Victor Miller created the original film based on the success of HALLOWEEN? It's all here, and let me tell you, the main doc runs over SIX HOURS AND LONG, so this is a HUGE investment of your time. With the ADDED BONUS DISC of supplemental interview material that was included with my Blu Ray, there's over TEN HOURS of material!!!! There's pictures, stills, deleted footage, behind the scenes footage and all kinds of eye candy for the FRIDAY zealots out there! Corey Feldman narrates and does a little re-enactment of FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2's famous campfire scene. Seriously, this is one of the best and most fun horror franchise documentaries I've watched, and despite the insanely long running time (almost a whole Showtime TV show season in length) this thing moves like lightning and is a thunderous treat for the FRIDAY THE 13TH fan that just CANNOT get enough. It's clearly a labor of love, made by fans...for fans! You know who you are, so if this piques your interest, definitely don't miss it! Kiiiiii-maaaaaa-kiiiii-maaaaa! Forever!!!!
