Friday the 13th International Poster

in Movie Poster Authentication
Hi I recently purchased what could be an original 1980 Friday the 13th international movie poster from my local Value Village. I've been attempting to do my own research but have hit a dead end due to the scarcity of the poster. I measured the poster and it is 27x41. The back is blank with no markings. I'm not sure what the holes across the top and bottom of the poster are from (maybe a movie theatre frame?). If anyone has any idea whether this could be an authentic poster would be greatly appreciated. I have attached some photos to this post. Thank you!

    Fun find. I’m not an expert on this poster. But a lot of posters can be authenticated by the printing details at bottom.  Please post images of the bottom white space where the hammers are so that we could see any text there.

    Hey Charlie thanks for responding! The bottom edges are blank and have no markings behind the hammers. I couldn't really find an international poster online that had printing details at the bottom while doing my limited research. It's been really tough to find an authentic example online.

    If I had a dollor for evertime I said "here is a list on EMP". I might be able to buy this poster!
