Friday the 13th Deluxe Edition Four-Pack (DVD)
By Friday the 13th 4pak

This is a collection of four movies also available in individual deluxe editions. If you're looking for comments on the quality of the movies or the DVD presentation, you can check out reviews on the separate pages; this review will focus on the set-up of this four-pack. All I really have to save about the movies is that they're what you might expect from low-budget 1980s horror. The plot, such as it is, is basically the same every time. The acting is uneven, but the writing is so flat and functional that the actors are only rarely asked to do something they can't manage. The only ambition at work is to offer audiences a collection of eight to ten teenagers who tell stupid jokes, flirt, show a little skin, and then die in mildly inventive ways. And sometimes, that's all you're looking for in a horror movie.

But about this package. All four discs are in one standard-size Amaray DVD case, with a slipcover that slides off at the top or bottom. The cover artwork visible with the Amazon listing is printed on both the slipcover and the DVD case liner. The four discs are on two double-sided "flappers" inside the case. Two sets of red-and-blue 3D glasses are in a plastic baggie inside the front of the case, so you can watch the third film in 3D, although the quality of the 3D image is so poor you might not want to bother. Generally the case is convenient, although after you've removed and used the 3D glasses, it can be a little difficult to get the case shut again with them inside.

Given how this four-pack and the individual deluxe editions are discounted at the moment, you'll save about $10 buying this instead of those. The four-pack currently works out to $4 a movie, which would be reasonable even for a bare-bones edition, let alone the solid if slight special features on these versions. If you really prefer separate cases for each film, that may not be enough savings, but for those who prefer a bargain or want to save storage space, this set is a great choice.
