Do you suffer from triskaidekaphobia?
No, you dope, that doesn’t mean you’re afraid of hors d’oeuvre crackers—it means you’ve got an irrational fear of the number 13 and if that’s the case, you’d better steer clear of Sean Cunningham’s Friday The 13th, a new horror film that not only tries to shock you but may actually cause physical damage to your person.

It contains the single most shocking surprise bit of violence in recent years. Caught completely off guard, the fellow leaps from his seat, tearing the ligaments in his leg.
