Reader Reviews:
Really Good Book (0/0 people found this helpful)
I really liked the book. I wish the DVD boxset had been as informative as this book. Book goes into great detail about the production histories about each of the films in the series. Good read.
Extensive, Well Researched Book (0/0 people found this helpful)
I really liked the book. I thought it was one of the most informative and well researched film books I've read in a long time. Lots of interesting production information, especially on the early Friday the 13th films. My only complaint is that the author is very hard on the later films in the series. Otherwise, very good read.
Could be a lot better (0/1 people found this helpful)
Spends too much time recounting the incidents in the films. If you've seen them then why do you want to read about who gets killed and how? There just isn't anywhere near enough behind the scenes information.
A new book has been published called Crystal Lake Memories. I've not seen it but my understanding is that it goes into much more detail - stuff about cocaine use on the set of Part 4 etc. Sight unseen, I would recommend that over this.
fascinating Friday ! (6/7 people found this helpful)
Making Friday the 13th by David Grove is the most painstakingly researched and informative work that I have read for some considerable time ( well, since the previous FAB Press release, SHOCK ! HORROR!)
There is a wealth of minute details regarding how each film came to be made & where some of the participants are today - some have gone on to stardom whilst others have pursued careers or activities outside the business. Many myths & rumours about missing scenes are dispelled or confirmed so that age old discussions amongst film buffs can now be laid to rest ! The book abounds with interesting photos of behind the scenes & what the locations look like today. The tone of the book is factual rather than just being a eulogy to the series : however, I must be one of the chosen few to have enjoyed Jason X ( the 'space' one ) & disagree with any detractors ! I would consider this book to be an essential addition to any film fan's collection & will use it as a reference after re watching the movies !! Get your copy of the book before it's sold out & on E Bay!!!
