Quartile rating: 7/10 · 1 rating
On Quartile, His Name Was Jason: 30 Years of Friday the 13th scores 7/10 across five categories — strongest on Plot (Above Average), weakest on Ending (Below Average).
A retrospective documentary about the groundbreaking horror series, Friday the 13th, featuring interviews with cast and crew from the twelve films spanning 3 decades.
A competent but fairly standard talking-heads retrospective documentary. The interview content with cast and crew provides genuine value for fans, earning a modest bump in the Acting/personality category, but the filmmaking itself is unremarkable — standard archive footage intercutting and interview setups with little visual ambition. The structure follows a chronological, by-the-numbers format common to franchise retrospectives, offering little novelty beyond the subject matter itself. The ending wraps up conventionally without a particularly memorable capstone. Solid fan service but not a distinguished piece of documentary filmmaking.
