Friday the 13th: The Complete Collection Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation



Leaving aside any concerns one might have about packaging, I cannot imagine a Friday the 13th fan who wouldn't want to acquire The Complete Collection. While it's conceivable that one or more of the seven titles newly released with this set may someday be issued separately, we would have been seen them by now if their respective studios anticipated significant sales from solo releases. As frustrating as it may be for fans, catalog titles are not big money makers on Blu-ray unless they're either major classics or their release can be transformed into an event. The Complete Collection certainly qualifies as an event, and it's been enhanced by the simultaneous release of the exhaustive documentary

As frustrating as it may be for fans, catalog titles are not big money makers on Blu-ray unless they're either major classics or their release can be transformed into an event. The Complete Collection certainly qualifies as an event, and it's been enhanced by the simultaneous release of the exhaustive documentary Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th . As for the packaging issues, I sympathize with the various reports of damaged shipments, defective inserts and scratched discs. Quality control isn't what it used to be. All one can do is hope for the best and insist on an exchange when something goes wrong. That doesn't alter the fact that this is an excellent set and well worth any fan's investment. Highly recommended.
