Friday the 13th: 8-Movie Collection Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Martin Liebman August 23, 2021

Paramount has released an eight-film 'Friday the 13th' collection to Blu-ray. It follows hot on the heels of the superb Shout! Factory collection, which is home to more films, more supplements, more cuts, a proper 3-D release for the third film, and better packaging. While this set includes the first four films in the series with remastered 1080p video, the transfers are all but identical to the Shout! counterparts with the exception of a minor shift in aspect ratio for parts I, II, and IV. The final four films appear two per disc and seemingly identical to how they were released in 2013 in Warner Brothers' eight-film metal tin. See below for links that point to reviews for what's included.

Friday the 13th: 8-Movie Collection Blu-ray Movie, Audio Quality  4.5 of 5

For full Blu-ray audio reviews, please click through the following links. The first four point to the Shout! Factory discs; the final four to the reviews for the versions from the Warner Brothers metal tin. Note that the Shout! reviews are built around comparisons between the 5.1 and original 2.0 tracks. Only the 5.1 tracks are included on these releases.


Friday the 13th: 8-Movie Collection Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras  4.0 of 5

This set does not include the same breadth of supplemental content as found in the Shout! set, but it does bring over most of the extras from previous Paramount and Warner Brothers releases. Please click through the links below for more coverage. This set ships in a red Amaray case, not much thicker than a standard issue package holding one or two discs. Digital copy codes are included for all eight films. No DVD copies are included. This release does not ship with a slipcover.


Friday the 13th: 8-Movie Collection Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  4.0 of 5

Paramount's set is inferior to Shout! Factory's, but it's also far, far less expensive. Here, fans do get the first four films remastered (and looking every bit as good as the Shout! discs, albeit at 1.78:1 rather than 1.85:1 for Parts I, II, and IV; also note the absence of a 3-D presentation for Part 3), 5.1 lossless audio (but no original tracks), and most of the core supplements from previous Paramount issues. It's a very good value as it is, and fans looking primarily for these eight films will find this to be a well worthwhile add to their libraries. For those who already own the Shout! set, however, there is no reason to buy this.
