And also much like the F13 series, the Saw series seems to now be getting worse with each sequel, at least that was apparent to me with the last.
I personally like the F13 series better, at least 1 through 8. It offers more significant value to me than the Saw movies, since I grew up watching Jason hack away at the silly "teens". Jason X was entertaining, but cheesy, Hell was stupid, and FvsJ I liked a lot, but I personally don't consider it part of the regular series.
My thoughts too. Cept I consider FvsJ a regular sequel to both series.
I think Jason X's only saving grace was the holographic Camp Crystal Lake.

Friday the 13th > Saw
People still reference Jason/Friday series today. But 20 years from now, will people still be referencing the Saw series? Good question.
Damn I thought there were other series that had countless sequels, some of which were considerably worse than the others?
Friday the 13th must be the staple junction point for all comparisons.
I've got a biased opinion here cuz I grew up on Jason. But I like Friday the 13th more. I got bored with the torture craze and I haven't watched Saw 4. I will eventually but I saw to much to fast I guess. Like I said biased opinion here, cuz you could say the same thing about the F13 series. I just for some reason never get tired of my favorite slasher going around hacking up teenagers. I even collect the comics. I'm a slasher fan.
I loved SAW that night I sat in a theatre and watched it with my friends.
But Fthe13th entertaines me a little more.(Not all of 'em)

I love all Friday the 13th from 1 - 8, some more than others.
I thought Saw was okay, 2 and 3 were buttholes, so I'm gonna go with F13.
I've always said to my friends that Saw was the new Friday the 13th. Due to the new sequels that are released every year.
But definatly Friday. Jason is way better than jigsaw (who lacks the power of resurection) :D
f13 all day
gonna have to agree wit everybody else!
SAW 1 is better then any F13 movie imo
But OVERALL F13 is a better series.
A lot of rose tinted glasses in this thread. Saw's narrative so far (ive only seen 1-3) seemed to tie together a lot better than Friday the 13th's. On that level, Saw certainly. Dunno, probably Saw if only because I just never liked many of the Friday sequels.
Neither.
Saw was great, but I can watch the F13 movies over and over.
F13 for me too, I own a few F13 movies, but i still have yet to buy a SAW film. I like both, but F13 is something I can sit on the couch turn off the lights, eat popcorn and enjoy, SAW I get bored halwaf through because I know whats gonna happen.
speaking of F13 I hope they dont fuck up the movie, if its anything like Halloween I'll be pleased, it wont ever be as good as the original, but it could be good.
Friday the 13th is good, but I've always seen it as one of those movies that's only really as popular as it is because it kinda popped a cherry in terms of what horror was gonna be like afterwards. I think if it had come out in 1991, it wouldn't be nearly as popular, and I certainly don't think it'll be very difficult film to capture again in a remake.
So, as much as I would think the Saw movies (only seen one and two) are kinda superior, since neither of them are really fantastic franchises, and since one can definitely watch the Friday movies over and over since they're just more fun, I'll agree with everyone else here (except Cataclysm, but I think that goes without saying on any subject), and say the Friday movies.
The Saw series has much better continuity then the F13th series, but overall I enjoyed the F13th series more. Of coarse that may be a biased opinion since I as well as many others here grew up with Jason and nothing made today no matter how good it is can replace that feeling you get from all those old horror franchises you grew up with.

I disagree, SAW 1 blows any F13 movie out of the water with that twist ending. I never ever saw it coming.
