Contemporary scholars in [[film criticism]], such as Tony Williams, have credited ''Friday the 13th'' for initiating the subgenre of the "stalker" or [[slasher film]].{{sfn|Williams|2015|p=185}} Cultural critic Graham Thompson also considers the film as a template, along with John Carpenter's ''Halloween'' (1978), that "instigated a rush" of films of its type, in which young people away from supervision are systematically stalked and murdered by a masked villain.{{sfn|Thompson|2007|p=102}} While critical reception of the film has been varied in the years since its release, it has attained a significant [[cult following]].{{sfn|Hills|2007|p=236}} In 2017, ''[[Complex (magazine)|Complex]]'' ranked the film ninth in a list of the best slasher films of all time.<ref>{{cite web|work=[[Complex (magazine)|Complex]]|url=https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/best-slasher-movies-of-all-time/madman|title=The Best Slasher Films of All Time|author=Barone, Matt|date=October 23, 2017|access-date=August 20, 2018|archive-date=August 20, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180820105907/https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/best-slasher-movies-of-all-time/madman|url-status=live}}</ref>

Film scholar Matt Hills wrote of the film's legacy: "''Friday the 13th'' has not just been critically positioned as intellectually lacking, it has been othered and devalued in line with the conventional aesthetic norms of the academy and official film culture, said to lack originality and artfulness, to possess no nominated or recognized [[auteur]], and to be grossly sensationalist in its focus on Tom Savini's gory special effects."{{sfn|Hills|2007|p=232}} The film was nominated in 2001 for [[AFI's 100 Years... 100 Thrills]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.afi.com/Docs/100Years/thrills400.pdf |title=List of top 400 heart-pounding thrillers |publisher=[[American Film Institute]] |access-date=June 25, 2017 |archive-date=January 6, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160106154010/https://www.afi.com/Docs/100Years/thrills400.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>
