Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

MWNiese ******Six Out of Ten Stars****** Actors Louise Robey, Chris Wiggins, and John D. LeMay star in this 80's late night horror thriller about demonic antiques possessed by the devil. Our three protagonists inherit an antique shop from a deceased relative that had made a pact with the Devil. Our caring lead actors agree it's their responsibility to reacquire demonic items their deceased Satanic Uncle had sold as part of a deal with the Devil."Friday's Curse" is actually quite a creative premise, and with stronger writing may have been able to continue for more than three mere seasons. I'm not sure what happened by the third season, but the weekly tales really got sloppy and unbelievable. LeMay left the third season, leading to Steve Monarque taking his place; which never really worked for most viewers.I recall watching these episodes as they were airing new, and the first two seasons were mostly incredible! The level of violence was criticized heavily back then by several conservative groups, but most viewers loved it! The special effects were decent, despite it's obvious low budget premise. I always believed it was fairly well filmed from a technical perspective, despite the series delving into the hammy side of production at times.One item of mention many complain about is the original title of "Friday the 13th the Series", and I agree with them. It was a tremendous mistake to use the title familiarized with the Jason Vorhees series. IMO, the title confusion doomed this cool series to a very short production run. What marketing moron ever thought it would work to rip off the Jason title? Also mentioned previously, was the God awful third season writing. Some third series episodes are flat out idiotic, not to say there aren't a few gems in season three.Also a noteworthy mention is the full series soundtrack composed by Fred Mollin, which I own on DVD. Mollin's compilation is a wonderful 80's synthetic horror tribute album. Additionally, the complete series collection is readily available usually for around $50; well worth the price. On a closing note, producer Frank Mancuso Jr. should be credited for his perseverance and dedication in getting this thing off the ground, and actors Robey and Wiggins turned in solid performances every week. The only thing else I can say is they're were too many writers and directors involved in this series, and it clearly shows in many episodes lacking in linearity.

P_Cornelius This series has become better with age. I wish I could say the same for Robey's acting career. And that is not meant as a slam at her. Quite the opposite. I've always felt Robey got a bit of a raw deal coming out of Friday the 13th. She did more than an adequate job; she did a *good* job. But she appears to be about the only one whose acting career went nowhere afterward. A pity. She had a touch for comedy in the series and was integral to the creation of a fairly strong Ensemble cast.The series itself debuted right at the beginning of the Golden Age of syndication, IMO. Coming a few years after Tales from the Darkside and a year or so right before Monsters, Friday the 13th just might be my favorite of the bunch, although the 1980 anthology series, Hammer House of Horror, despite one or two clunkers, is also in the mix.A nice plot device, too, with a cursed antique or relic providing the genesis for each week's adventure. You remember how nice it was not to need and worry about "story arcs" and serial story strategies. The self contained episode, to me, is always a joy, and, ever since Kolchak: The Night Stalker, a true indication of the talented storyteller. Serial and story arcs are usually a sign of desperate, lower grade TV production, of undisciplined writers and lazy producers.

missymomus This show is about two cousins,and an older friend, trying to reclaim cursed objects sold from an antique store by their deceased uncle. He had made a deal with the devil. Each episode is about a different object that does something great for the user, but with a terrible price that must be paid. It has a lot of appearances by actors also used on The War of the Worlds The Series. Actually, I think if you combined War of the Worlds the Series, and Friday the thirteenth the Series, you would get something very much like The X-Files. Bottom line,it's a wonderful show. I wish there were more than 72 episodes. I am a dedicated horror fan, and some of these episodes are truly creepy. They are also good for nostalgia.No online surfing for information. I love it.

jesilmira I was living in Uruguay when I watched this show. Back then I remember I was getting ready for my last Bachelor's examinations and entertained my hours of technical drawing with the series, very late on Monday nights. I never got to start Architecture after all, but I keep some of the drawings still, just in case they turn out to be cursed after the years!! By the way, this series was called "Cuentos de las Cinco Noches" in our local channel in Uruguay. I understand it was aired with the same title in some other counties in South America. Now I live in Spain and found out that here, the series was called "Misterio Para Tres". I state it here because it was quite difficult for me to locate the show since I did not remember the original title, and hoping this will help others in the same situation. I also subscribe to the petition of this series issued on DVD some day.
