How can Friday the 13th be the most influential and the most overrated?

Anywho, I just thought I'd add that Starship Troopers II is/was in development.

The reason I have Friday the 13th as the most influential and the most overrated is because it was the movie that seemed to start all the teen slasher/horror movies. I say it's overrated because.......well.........I don't think it's that great of a concept and I don't find it that interesting, I know lots of other people do though.

there's no way NOTLD was the first zombie movie. Did it pretty much reinvent the zombie movie sub-genre? Yes, but the Zombie movies were old news at the time, going at least as far back as the early 1930's. On the other hand, one could make the argument that M influenced the entire 'chasing the serial killer' thriller sub-genre, and that covers a lot of ground.


And Halloween, or maybe Black Christmas, started the teen slasher movies.
