I was at my dad and step moms house, one day at like 7 or 8 years old. As usual I was flipping through there endless amount of video tapes. Well I came across Saturday the 14th...I love horrors, so I poped it in...thinking it would be a scary movie. Wrong...of course like the title suggests...it's going to be a comedy, and was. Well needless to say, everytime I would spend the night at dads house, it seems like I watched this movie. The charectors are kooky the monsters are silly and the family of the main charectors is hilarious to watch them bumble around the house dying off. Jeffery Tamboure (sp) is great in it...I liked his dark sarcastic attitude. And his wife is hilarious. BUT, on the other hand, in the 80's this movie would of been the bomb to a 7 year old. Today though, I seriously doubt it...with children spoiled of special effects. Thus I say, I love this movie for it's nastalgiac qualities...it brings back those priceless child hood 80's days that are long gone! Go rent it, see for yourself how wakcy this movie really is. Don't expect some horror, or block buster. It's only fun and slightly scary.
