Editorial Reviews

What's in store for a family that disregards a warning in a will and decides to accept their inheritance of a cursed house in Eerie, Pennsylvania? The answer is plenty, as John and Mary discover in this suspenseful comedy spoof. A "Book of Evil" has been hidden in the house and when it's opened, it unleashes all the evil in the world. The family is warned that on "Friday the 13th it gets bad, but on Saturday the 14th it gets worse!". It's all outrageous fun as John and Mary and their children attempt to exterminate their troubles before their housewarming party just two days away on Saturday the 14th!

This review is from: Saturday the 14th (DVD)

Years ago, I actually saw this movie in a theatre, so when I heard that it was available on DVD I was pleased! Like the more recent "Scary Movie," "Saturday the 14th" parodies the more popular genre flicks of it's day. Everything from the Halloween films to Poltergeist to Gremlins gets a treatment here, to varying degrees of success. Some of the jokes are better than others, but unlike "Scary Movie," none of the humor is graphicly sexual or overtly gross. I prefer it for that reason, but you may disagree- either way, it's fun and more suited to an "all ages" viewing. And I found that the jokes in "Saturday the 14" roll by faster, and make the poorer puns and sight gags easier to take. Best of all, the DVD is a bargan (costing almost what my brother and I paid to see it when it had it's theatrical run). The only DVD downside is that you don't get any decent extras, like deleted scenes or behind the scenes footage, most likely because the movie was made quick and cheap. Overall, I would recomend "Saturday the 14th," especially if you like B movies to begin with.

Okay Saturday the 14th is not the funniest comedy movie ever made but I still liked it. It's just a cute enjoyable movie with some cute humor that satires horror movies and it has a good cast, Richard Benjamin and Paula Prentiss play a husband and wife and are married in real life and they were good in the movie as was Kari Michaelsen who is probaly best known as playing Katie, the eldest daughter in the sitcom Give Me A Break and underrated character actor Jeffrey Tambor was good too. Go buy or rent this movie on DVD or video!

This review is from: Saturday the 14th (DVD)

Unlike some of extrodinarily expensive spoofs of today that ganish very few to no laughs, and can only be seen by (and basically understood by) the adult population, this movie was really enjoyable. Sure the movie may look like a low budget never was, but it was one of the more honest movies of its day. This movie was designed to be fun (even suitable for the whole family), not to make millions and bore the audience with site gags and sexually lude or crude jokes (that only the person who wrote the movie understands) that have been used time and time again. I think that the actors played their parts very well, and some of the monster designs were amusing. People who only like movies with big budget special effects, and hughely popular stars will probably not enjoy this movie. But for someone who just wants an honest movie with laugh and (believe it or not) an understandable (yet silly) plot will enjoy this movie.
