Friday the 13th Part 2 Movie Review

Friday the 13th Part 2 Movie Review

Well, as we steam roll toward next Friday. And the 13th. We drop the review for Friday the 13th Part 2. This movie in a lot ways was very similar to Friday the 13th. Had a buncha camp counselors. A Crystal Lake. And I will say for a follow up to the first one. A damn good connection between the two. Also, its notable for starting the 4 day run of terror by one Jason Voorhees. Now, this of course makes this movie legendary entry in to the series. Because as any horror fan knows by now this is Jason's first adult appearance in the series. Now Jason did not have the signature hockey mask yet. This was the Bubba Gump sack over the head Jason complete with Wrong Turn retardation. Jason also was pretty quick in this movie. Didn't run per se. But, at least kinda skipped. Now they say the re-launch is patterned off of entries 2 thru 4. So this might be a good watch especially to refresh or see it for the first time. I personally will say this is one of the scarier movies of the series. Pretty creepy including a scene where Paul and Ginny go in to the cabin and everybody is dead and Jason is hiding in the room. Ginny screams and a creepy sorta struggle erupts between Jason and Paul in which he gets knocked out. Now, I will say. These movies were known for strong females at the end fighting our beloved killer one on one. Well, in my opinion Amy Steele as Ginny was the best (yes, even better than Lar Park Lincoln in Part VII). She knew how to fight Jason. Same way Tommy Jarvis did. Play mind games with his ass. This movie also is known for the where's Paul ending and the infamous jump through the window. Also we find out what happens to Alice after her little machete head chopping of Mama Voorhees. Now, for me. I'm a bias fan of Jason and the hockey mask. And salso a pretty big fan of the Kane Hodder, CJ Graham terminator type Jason's we got in the later movies. But, overall, this is pretty good. Part 2 is must own addition to the series and a damn good horror movie. I give it 4 out 5 axes. Rockbot for HorrorHideout.Com
