Friday the 13th box set REVIEW!!!
Well here it is everybody. The much awaited first review (courtesy of horrordvds.com) for the upcoming Friday the 13th box set. Although positive, there are still many things that could have or should have been included.
I'll let you guys decide for yourself after reading and tell me what you think...

Nice review. Of course I want the uncut versions but apparently that's not going to happen.
I like the fact that it takes up a third of the shelf space of the originals. Nice little touch for people with huge DVD collections. Plus, it's just easier to just buy all 8 films in one set then trying to find all 8 DVDs over time. I assure you, Best Buy does not have all 8 at their store right now.

Too bad that "Scary Trailers" feature wasn't included, but glad to see that they aren't hiding the excised gore footage from viewers.
I still want this set and I'm all for "Friday 2-0"

the audio and video is exactly the same as the original releases?
the only added things are longer scenes and the bonus disc?
I was all excited..but now i think i will pass....

kevin-- plus commentaries on 4 of the films. I am betting thats the big draw for the fans of the series. Too bad they didn't include commentaries on ALL the films. And too bad they didn't include the features on the region 2 dvd of part 1 as well as the cut footage incorporated into the film like that version. I am glad I have my copy of it.
The review was pretty good. The set seems like a compromise to please both the fans and new blood. It could have been even better with more additions (Hello, where are the extras on part 2, my favorite of the series?!!!) But it seems worth the buy... That is for a discount at a local best buy or online somewhere.

Maybe you can search for/start a thread about it over in the Movie Forum where a question like that is more appropriate.
This thread is about the boxset....
So, with that said, I'll be all over this since I never picked up the original discs.... especially since I can find it sub $60

Blockbuster Video had this up for pre-order for about $27 (a thread is in the DVD Bargains section), but that deal seems to be dead now. I wasn't interested anyway, I'll pay extra to get`the extra disc.
