Ranking Every Friday the 13th Movie from Worst to Best

Few franchises embody the slasher genre quite like Friday the 13th . With its hockey-masked killer, remote Camp Crystal Lake, and an ever-growing body count, the series has become a pillar of horror history. But not all entries are created equal. Some are bloody brilliant, others are just bloody awful. Grab your machete, and let’s rank every Friday the 13th movie—from worst to best. 12. Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993) This entry tried to inject Body Snatchers -style possession into a Friday the 13th movie, and the result is a delightful mess. Jason barely appears, the lore gets convoluted (he has a sister? A demon worm?), and the pacing is all over the place. Sure, the final scene teasing Freddy vs. Jason is iconic, but the rest is mayhem. 11. Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989) With a title like this, you'd expect urban carnage, but most of the film takes place on a boat. By the time Jason reaches New York, there’s barely any time left. The ...

4K Blu-ray Review: Cobra - A High-Octane ’80s Action Icon Shines in Arrow's New Release

In the pantheon of '80s action films, Cobra stands out not only for its relentless action and bat-shit crazy lead performance but also for its memorable set pieces, distinctive character dynamics, and a pulsating synth-heavy score that perfectly encapsulates the decade’s aesthetic. Directed by George P. Cosmatos and featuring Sylvester Stallone in one of his most iconic roles, this 1986 thriller captures the era's obsession with tough, no-nonsense heroes and over-the-top violence. Interestingly, Stallone was originally cast in Beverly Hills Cop but left the project due to creative differences, seeking a more action-oriented and brutal approach.  Cobra  became  his vehicle for that darker, grittier vision. Stallone stars as Lieutenant Marion "Cobra" Cobretti, an LAPD cop with a rebellious edge and a fiercely independent streak. Tasked with protecting a key witness, played by Brigitte Nielsen, from a psychopathic gang known only as "The New World," Cobra tak...
