FRIDAY THE 13TH: RELEASE DATE 29TH SEPTEMBER 2003

WARNER BROS PRESS RELEASE

From the producer of Last House on the Left comes the most terrifying film of all time. Fridays will never be the same again as the first and greatest in the slasher horror series that inspired a generation of imitators comes to DVD in all its g(l)ory.

A 24-hour nightmare of terror is yours for just £12.99 RRP but it doesn't stop with the film. Just like Jason, the horror keeps coming back in an audio commentary by director Sean S. Cunningham and if you dare you can Return to Crystal Lake for The Making of Friday the 13th.

Following hot on the success of Jason X, the man who made ski masks the height of fashion is back in UK cinemas from 15th August with the eleventh film in the Friday series going head to head with Freddy Krueger in Freddy Vs Jason. Now you can relive the original horror for the first time on DVD 23 years after the nightmare began.

They were warned...They are doomed...And on Friday the 13th, nothing will save them.

Camp Crystal Lake has a bad history. A history drenched in blood. For over 20 years no-one has disturbed its deathly silence... until now. The Camp is re-opening and eager young counsellors, eyes shining with idealism and hormones racing through their veins, are ready to lead guests in summer Kumbayas and games. But there's one game you won't find in the camp's guidebook. Someone likes to play 'Kill the Counsellor'.

He lives, they die. He is Jason and they are the horny teens (including Kevin Bacon) doomed to discover Friday the 13th is the unluckiest day of all. But not for horror fans.

Often imitated but never equalled. Friday the 13th is a relentless exercise in sustained terror. Unlike the luckless teenagers who go to Camp Crystal Lake, it will live forever as the most shocking film of its kind.

Well, what do you think? I like the idea of a commentary, even if I was a tad annoyed at the press release's claim that Jason is the killer in the first film. :rolleyes:

Looks like a decent release. I would like to hear the commentary. But that cover... AWFUL. Just plain horrid.

That cover be kickin'! I wanna get it! Maybe I'll get an import from the U.K. or something.

The extras sound decent. Hopefully Paramounts discs next year will be this good, if not, better.

I have the R4 dvd of the same thing, and its all identical. Great DVD... I ripped it and made it into a R0 NTSC dvd, so it plays on every dvd player.
