Friday the 13th is streaming in the UK on Sky Go.
What the audience says
Friday the 13th is a middling English film — fine for a one-time watch but unlikely to stay with you. It holds a 6.4/10 on TMDB from 3,529 ratings, right around average territory. It's a tight 95-minute watch — easy to fit into a busy night. In the UK you can stream it on Sky Go.
Should you spend 95 minutes on it?
95 minutes of English horror, not one for younger kids. Short enough to finish on a weeknight without losing the next morning.
