Reviews

AlanSKaufman Ryan at ten years of age loved his kid brother. One day as they played ball, Ryan tossed it clumsily, so his brother in struggling to catch it, ran into the street where he was fatally struck by a car. Their mother witnessed the whole thing. Blaming Ryan, she abandoned him, and he did not hear from her until several decades later. An awkward reunion, Ryan tried to be polite but was confused by his memories. Could they forgive each other?During 1987-90 I watched every TV episode of Friday the 13th the Series. The two cousins, Ryan and Micki, had inherited their wicked uncle's antique shop. They discovered that most sold objects were cursed by the devil and the duo had to recapture the objects as they were used for murder and mayhem.The show had many powerful elements: mystery, adventure, moral conflicts. The horrible deeds were filmed in such a way that the focus was on the evil intent, not on the gory result. Most important was the acting of the two leads. They were young and physically healthy, and needed to remind themselves that they deserved moments of rest and relaxation. But even here, the writers handled it just right. Ryan was understandably attracted to his beautiful cousin, but she steadfastly said no. They were close friends and close cousins, and those boundaries were never to be crossed. Respectful of each other, Ryan and Micki became emotionally closer than many couples.Fascinated by this pair, you were often on the edge of your seat in concern for any predicament they were in, notwithstanding your confidence that somehow they'd escape the dilemma. Unfortunately, as the second season neared completion, word grew that the actor portraying Ryan was leaving the series to move on to other projects. Initially, his character's fate was to be the climax of the season, but it was brilliantly decided to place this feature as the premiere of the third season. As a ratings technique, it clearly worked. You waited impatiently throughout the summer for the opening episode, fearing that Ryan would not survive this installment. The tension was overbearing. When the show aired, you were in tears the whole time.Micki and Ryan are called to France on an urgent mission, and at the airport, Ryan says goodbye to his mother, assuring her that he will return. You sensed this was the last time they would see each other, but you were not quite correct, as demonstrated by the amazing twist ending. As this riveting story progresses, Ryan gets taken over by a demon, kills a nun, and after escaping the police momentarily regains his free will, sobbing profusely over what he has done. You the viewer sob even harder over his agony. In an incredible depiction, as Ryan is about to be turned into a child so his body can be occupied by Satan himself, Ryan relives the death of his brother and asks for forgiveness. Ultimately, the Virgin Mary removes the demon from Ryan, leaving him as a child the same age as when his brother had died.Ryan does not remember any of his adulthood. Taken back to America, he recognizes his mother, despite looking older to him. She is stunned to find him as a child, but realizes that a miracle has occurred. She and he are reunited to make up for their missing years. Micki witnesses this reunion and we are reduced to even more tears.The season attempted to carry on. Micki had a friend helping her collect the cursed objects. There were two problems proving fatal for the series. First, without Ryan the show stumbled along no matter how clever the scripts, since ultimately the anchor had been the unique relationship of Ryan and Micki. Second, with direct Divine intervention having deterred the devil, a weekly pursuit of cursed objects became pale by comparison. Thus the season's end was the series' end, with an especially fine final performance by the actress playing Micki. You have the advantage of hindsight, recognizing that Ryan's transformation should have been the series finale. Then ask yourself some questions: would you really want to revert to childhood, and without memories of your adulthood, would you do anything differently? At least Ryan's mother knew his adult history and she'd try furnishing him with a reconciling path towards his new future.The Series provided so much of value that its absence is a palpable sense of loss. To reduce our sense of loss, we recall its past and practice the lessons it imparts.

daninworc This was a gripping show because it embraced the true essence of horror - tragedy. You weren't guaranteed a happy ending. The show where the ugly girl uses a cursed compact mirror to make someone fall in love with her is particularly sad and horrifying. I also loved how one of the characters started to write about their experience in a supermarket tabloid. This was a plot twist that did not get a chance to develop before the show was canceled, but it would have opened a lot of possibilities. They should bring this show back.I've come to understand that the appeal of horror is the possibility of a sad ending. But as a former newspaper reporter who was involved in covering several murders and saw the grief of surviving relatives, let me say that murders are horrible events. Everyone knows it, but no one ever says why in a movie. I would love to see a show where a character just launches into a monologue/lecture on why killing is so bad - just to remind the audience.

Syl I loved this series back in the days when syndicated programming ruled my weekend schedule. Now, it's all infomercials. This program was one of my favorites. It was about an antique store and the curses and supernatural that they would uncover along the way. I have to say it was well-written and acted by a great cast. It was filmed in Toronto. I don't think they ever meant to set it anywhere in particular. I just only saw the drama for the seasons it was on the air in New Jersey. It was a series that probably inspired X-Files. Even though it's title says Friday the 13th, it was about mystery, supernatural, hauntings, and paranormal activities. The drama was always worth watching. I hope they bring out on DVD.

wings1295 A late 80s horror anthology that delivered what it's fans wanted, but was canceled too soon. Great characters, interesting stories, and good scares, this show is missed by fans, who still hold out hope for a DVD release or maybe even a reunion movie.Friday the 13th: The Series was a TV show that seemed to come into existence at just the right time. Syndicated, airing late at night, on Fridays or Saturdays when teens could stay up; all the right elements for a horror anthology to succeed, and it did. For a time.While never achieving critical or popular admiration, it did develop a cult following of loyal viewers. The show did attract ratings, and was second in syndicated ratings at one point only to Star Trek: The Next Generation. However, it wasn't able to survive when it's parent company buckled to religious groups and their threats of boycotts. It was canceled at the end of it's 3rd season.The show never enjoyed a great budget, and this is most noticeable in sometimes sub-par effects. But the actors, writers, producers, and all involved did the best they could with the materials and money at their disposal.The episodes mainly dealt with the stars attempting to retrieve one of the cursed antiques sold by Lewis Vendredi as part of his pact with the devil. The objects were varied and the curses on them sometimes quite ingenious. The gore was kept to a minimum; this was still television, after all.While the heroes usually did retrieve the item they went after, the endings weren't always tied up "Brady Bunch-style". Many times, the characters were left feeling as though they had failed, having retrieved the cursed items or not.Character development did happen, as well. Micki, played by the singer Robey, started out as the spoiled, rich, reluctant participant. By the end of the series, she had developed a caring relationship with the others, and had begun to embrace the path her life had taken, albeit unwillingly.Ryan Dallion, as played by John D. LeMay, started out as the one eager to believe and be a part of this weird business. He soon learned there wasn't much to laugh about, and became a much more somber figure. The way his character was written out of the series at the beginning of season 3 may have been a let down for some fans, but it gave Ryan a chance to start over, carefree again.Chris Wiggins played Jack Marshak as the strange, mystical father-figure, and stayed pretty much on course. This character being a "world traveler" in the pilot, he did settle down, staying the full three years at Curious Goods.Johnny Ventura, played by Steven Monarque, didn't have much time to develop, but did go from being a brash, hot-head to a trusted member after Ryan's exit.All-in-all, the show was a great, late-night horror drama and gave it's target audience just what it was looking for. Some good scares, which may seem tame now, were just right for late 80s fans, especially watching at midnight or later on the weekends.Sci-Fi Channel certainly has it's share of near-Z grade movies, it would be nice if they could put some money towards a movie of Friday the 13th: The Series. Not only would it be a dream-come-true for the fans, who would like a proper end to the show and it's story, it would be a good way to promote a DVD release of the show's 3 seasons, something fans still hold out hope for. Win/win all around, no?
