The first part of a series of films about a maniac in a hockey mask named Jason. The actors of the movie "Friday the 13th" in 1980 became stars after the tape was released. You will learn how this terrible story began and who played in the picture, from this article.
Plot
A camp for children called Crystal Lake is desolate. For several years this place is notorious among the local population. A beautiful pond does not attract people who want to relax. Old-timers remember how in 1957 a tragedy happened here - a little boy drowned. This was due to the oversight of the counselors, but they did not suffer any punishment.
Kara overtook them a year later at this very place - both girls were brutally killed. He immediately closed the camp, dubbing it “bloody” and “cursed dead”. There were attempts several times to restore the resting place. Vacationers even came here, but after fires and mass poisoning with chemicals in drinking water, the leadership left this venture.
Steve Krisby does not believe in local legends and superstitions. The year 1979 has come, and he does not want to hear about any ghosts and avengers. He hires maintenance staff and proceeds with the repair of houses for those who want to relax in nature.
Erica decided to work as a cook in the summer in a picturesque place and on the way gets to the camp. But she was not lucky - the driver brought her into the forest and brutally killed her. She became the first victim of a new wave of killings. In vain, she did not believe the local fool Ralph, who managed to warn her about the damned place.
Three future counselors - Jack, Ned and Marcy - are driving in another car right away. Upon reaching the camp, they learn that their colleagues have already arrived. Alice, Brenda and Bill accept new team members and begins a paradise life in a fabulous place. Young people have fun from the heart - bathe, walk and have fun to the fullest.
In the evening, Ned walked around the empty camp and noticed a silhouette in one of the houses. He stopped by to check and found his death there. Marcy and Jack occupy another house and have fun there. As soon as the girl left for urgent matters, the killer dealt with her gentleman. It’s Marcy’s turn - she meets her death in the shower room.
Alice, Brenda and Bill play Monopoly. They still do not know anything about the killings. Brenda decides to go to her house and close the window so that mosquitoes do not crash. Along the way, she hears a mournful baby cry and goes to the sound. Of course, it was a trap. A maniac kills and goes for new victims. Having knocked out the light in the camp, he easily dealt with Steve Krisby, and then with Bill. Alice runs away with all her legs, but an old lady named Mrs. Voorhees gets in her way.
She tells the girl a story about her drowned son. Without hiding, she told the frightened Alice how she set fires, poisoned the water and killed the counselors. All for the sake of the children - she did not want the same thing to happen to them as her Jason. In the end, she tells how she dealt with all the girl's friends. Now it's her turn. But Alice was quicker and cut off the head of the machete to the psychopath. She sprinkles only in the morning for some reason in a boat in the middle of the river. A police car is approaching the scene of the tragedy, but no one will help Alice - Jason's hands appear from the water, and he drags her to the bottom.
