Synopsis: Britney is the cheerleading captain of the Pacific Vista Pirates. But then her father gets fired and they have to move to Crenshaw Heights. She swore to her old team that she would never cheer again. But she has no place to fit in on her new school - except for the squad.

My Opinion: This movie is soo bad, there are no words for it. The only reason for buying it was Hayden Panettiere (Claire in Heroes ["Save the cheerleader, save the world!"]). But her acting is so over the top, it's as if Ecstasy had taken Ecstasy. But like a train wreck one can't stop watching.

Overview	A group of fun-loving teenagers take jobs at a recently re-opened summer camp, unaware of the circumstances that had led to its closure: the drowning of a young boy named Jason and subsequent murder of two counsellors over twenty years before. No sooner has the camp re-opened for business than the killing begins again, as the teens are picked off one by one.
My thoughts	I had planned on a Friday the 13thFriday the 13th should Friday the 13th The Burning or The Prowler (both also with Savini effects). So, a mediocre slasher, but one that was made famous thanks to its sequels, more than anything else. Still, in order to appreciate the success of the Friday the 13th
My rating	4 out of 5
