This release features the first two installations in the massively successful slasher series Friday the 13th. The first installment was directed by Sean S. Cunningham, and despite initial panning from critics upon its release in 1980, went on to become a cult classic for horror fans. Part II arrived a year later in 1981 and was helmed by Steve Miner and signaled the passing of the blade to one of horror cinema's most iconic villains, Jason Voorhees.
This underground hit from the '80s comes to DVD in a widescreen anamorphic picture format (with a theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1) and a single audio track, English Dolby 2.0, with Spanish and French subtitles and closed-captioning available. Special or bonus features include a bit of behind-the-scenes footage, a director-narrated audio commentary, a visual effects commentary, some information on the film's score, a short featurette on the formation and fleshing out of the character concepts, and a photo gallery of stills. While the picture quality is of about a VHS level of detail and coloring, the sound quality is strictly mono and barely adequate, just as it was in the film's original theatrical release.
