Summary: Friday the 13th, Part 2 (1981)
Review: Director: Steve Miner
Cast: Amy Steel, John Furey, Adrienne King, Betsy Palmer.
Running Time: 87 minutes.
Rated R for violence, gore, and language.While most horror sequels are laughable compared to the successful originals, this second installment in the endless series is just as good, if not better than the original. Director Steve Miner creates a film that is actually very terrifying, with many sudden jumps, jolts, pitchforks flying through walls, and maniac hands crashing unexpectedly through windows. The basic premise of the film is about the resurrected thought-to-be-dead Jason Voorhees, who returns to Crystal Lake camp to avenge his drowning fifteen years before. Amy Steel is fair in the lead heroine role, running around frantically as he finds more counselor dead bodies spread throughout the camp. "Friday the 13th, Part 2" is no horror classic and it has lost some of its luster in its over 20 years of age, but fans of the series or those who want a good scare should give this sequel (the best one in the series) a chance. Please note: Jason Voorhees DOES NOT wear hockey mask to hide his image, he is actually wearing a bag with eye-slits.

Summary: Good sequal to a bad series
Review: ALthough most of the teens in this movie are way to stupid to know how to tie their shoes there is one character who I found interesting. It was Ginny played by Amy Steel. That Character actually had half-way of a brain in that melon of hers! Definately a sequal but worth a look!

Summary: Friday The 13th Part 2 (1981)
Review: Just when you thought it was safe to back to camp! Friday The 13th had already made a box-office record when it was released in 1980. It was all anybody could ever talk about. Paramount had a huge hit and immediately started on the sequel. Friday The 13th Part 2 offers even more terror and screams as its predecessor did. But this sequel offers all Friday fans a real treat: JASON VOORHEES taking over as the killer. Two months after dealing with the horror she experienced at Camp Crystal Lake, ALICE (Adrienne King reprising her role) has returned to the town to conquer her fear of what happened that Friday The 13th. While taking a nap, she reminisces the terrifying ordeal until it startles her out of her sleep. She goes into the kitchen and opens the fridge. What she finds in the fridge is MRS. VOORHEES' rotting decapitated head. She backs up into a large figure. The large figure turns out to be... JASON VOORHEES. He grabs ALICE and stabs her through the temple with an icepick. Jason doesn't appear to look like we all know him to look like. He is not wearing the hockey mask. In this one, he wears a burlap sack with a hole cut out for his left eye. Five years pass after ALICE's untimely death. PAUL HOLT (played by JOHN FURY) is opening a camp that is located directly across from CRYSTAL LAKE. He hires a large amount of counselors and they include JEFF, SANDRA, TERI, VICKY, SCOTT, and MARK. PAUL also hires his girlfriend GINNY (played by AMY STEEL) as the assistant manager. That night, PAUL gathers all the counselors around a campfire and tells them the legend of JASON and his mother. PAUL mentions that JASON's body was never recovered from the lake after he drowned and that he saw ALICE kill his mother that night, five years back. GINNY goes off to get ready for bed and runs into PAUL where they start making out. As they stand at the door making out, a figure stands behind a tree and watches. The figure is an old crazed man named RALPH (who appears in the first film). JASON arrives and adds RALPH to the list. The next day, JEFF and SANDRA go off and sneak into CRYSTAL LAKE, despite being told that it was off limits. They are caught by a cop and taken back to the camp. Luckily, PAUL is a nice guy and gives them a warning. The cop drives off and notices JASON running into CRYSTAL LAKE. He chases after him and goes deep into Crystal Lake. He finds Jason's broken down cabin. He goes in and finds something rather frightening until he ends up with a hammer in his head. PAUL and Ginny and the rest of the counselors go out for a night on the town, while JEFF, SANDRA, MARK, VICKY, SCOTT, and TERI remain. TERI goes for a little "skinny dip" swim. She finishes and notices that her clothes are missing. SCOTT comes out laughing and winds up in a rope trap, which hangs him from his feet. TERI goes to get a knife and cut him down, but JASON has other plans for SCOTT; Jason introduces his machete to SCOTT's throat. TERI comes back only to find a dead SCOTT and gets killed herself. JEFF and SANDRA are in the main cabin with MARK and VICKY, but JEFF and SANDRA go upstairs for a little "action". VICKY stays with MARK and flirts with him openly. They plan to have some action themselves. VICKY goes to her cabin to grab a few things, leaving MARK to end up with a machete in his face. JEFF and SANDRA seemed to have died happy since they were on top of each other when JASON rammed a spear through the both of them. VICKI comes back and finds JEFF and SANDRA dead. JASON slashes her thigh with a butcher knife and then finally stabs her. PAUL and GINNY come back only to find JASON. PAUL is knocked out cold while GINNY is running for her life. She goes in JASON's cabin and finds MRS. VOORHEES' head all rotted up. JASON is banging his way through the door. GINNY grabs MRS. VOORHEES' sweater, puts it on to fool JASON. But GINNY didn't pull it off like she had hoped. JASON saw the head was still there. He slashes GINNY'S ankle and that is when PAUL enters and fights with JASON. GINNY picks up the machete and slices his left shoulder. GINNY pulls off the burlap sac to see what JASON looks like. He is not shown right then and there. The two go back to the main cabin. They hear a noise at the door, it turns that it's MUFFIN, TERI's adorable little puppy. GINNY tries to pick up MUFFIN until a grotesque looking JASON jumps through the window. GINNY is then seen being taken to the hospital. She has made it through the horror, but PAUL is nowhere to be found. Don't think about packing up your camping gear now. It ain't over yet. But while you're waiting, buy this amazing sequel to one of the most terrifying on-going horror sagas this world has ever seen.

Summary: The Body Count Continues....
Review: After the head over heels ending to "Friday the 13th", Jason Voorhees rises up from his grave to seek revenge, for the beheading of his mother, in "Friday the 13th Part 2". This second film is much like the first, a jump out of your seat scarefest. The sack that Jason wears over his head thru out the film is inspired by the 70's movie - "The Town That Dreaded Sundown" (the film, based on a true incident in Texarcana, Arkansas, had a hooded serial killer running amok in a small town). Ever wonder what happened to the cast of any of the "Friday" films? You're probablly thinking that these films are usually career poison (like I did), but you would be wrong. Amy Steel, the heroine of "Friday 2", is still acting & doing the occasional guest role.

Summary: Meet Jason Vorhees
Review: After watching "Friday the 13th," I felt it necessary to view part 2. After all, it is in part 2 where the infamous Jason is actually introduced as the serial killer. In the previous film, Mrs. Vorhees acts on behalf of her drowned Jason, killing those who wish to re-open the camp at which Jason died. One young counselor, unwilling to meet her death, battles Mrs. Vorhees until she loses her head, literally. Alice is left as the only survivor of "Camp Blood." This installment begins with Alice (Adrienne King's character), the only survivor from part 1, having a nightmare. Thus, we are reminded of the occurences at Camp Crystal Lake not 5 years previous, and given foreshadowing of what is to come. From here, we are introduced to the new set of camp counselors up for the slaughter. The counselors are to attend a training camp before the children arrive for the summer...that is, if they can survive until then. It is when half of the group goes out for one last night on the town that the gore fest begins. Jason, masked in a somewhat silly looking burlap sack (as he doesn't get the hockey mask until part 3), begins to pick off the young counselors one at a time. When some of the group returns from a night of superfluous drinking, they find blood everywhere and their friends missing. They set out to find the missing counselors and come face to face with the hideously deformed Jason Vorhees. Overall, I found that this film was somewhat better than the previous in the series. The acting was a little better in my opinion, and this made the characters far more believable. I particularly liked Ginny's character (Amy Steel), as she was not just some dumb-struck female who stood there to accept her fate (though she did have her moments). Rather, she puts her knowledge as a child psychology major (since Jason is really a child) to work while trying to gain the upper hand. In addition, the special effects and make-up are pretty good considering that this movie came out over twenty years ago. I will admit that the ending leaves something to be desired, but this movie is nontheless a classic of the genre. In general, if you enjoy horror movies and/or slasher flicks, and are in dire need of watching the classics, then this film should not be missed.

Summary: Friday the 13th Part 2
Review: Two months after the events of the original Friday the 13th, Alice (Adrienne King), the lone survivor or Mrs. Vorhees' killing spree, meets a grisly end in her city apartment. Five years later, a new group of co-eds converges near Camp Crystal Lake, scene of the original massacre and the drowning of Jason Vorhees that preceded it. This time around, the horny collegians attend a nearby training school for camp counselors. As half the group parties in town, an unseen assailant picks off the other half one by one. Only when camp leader Paul (John Furey) and his girlfriend, Ginny (Amy Steel), return to camp do they uncover the identity of their stalker -- none other than Jason (Warrington Gillette) himself, alive but grotesquely deformed as a result of his childhood drowning. Flashbacks chronicle Jason's behind-the-scenes activities in the first film (perhaps explaining how his mother was able to throw the dead bodies of muscular youths through windows with such apparent ease). The young couple's only hope to defeat the fiend lies in psych major Ginny's insights in Jason's mental state.

Summary: BLOOD CAMP!
Review: This sequel scared me when I watched it in broad daylight! Granted I was eight and thought that everything was real, but it still is a very decent sequel. I love movies with high body counts and this one is pretty high. I love the beginning, I think it shows that Jason ain't gonna stop 'til he gets you.

Summary: I liked Jason with the sack over his head better
Review: Let me start off by saying how ugly Jason really is. What happened to his eye and one side of his head resembles a mountain slope. I've never seen a person ulgier than him. Maybe when he kills people it's becasue their less ugly than he is. If Jason didn't have a sack or his hockey mask over his head the people would die just by looking at him. I have a question though. Why can he come back from the dead but his mom can't. You'd think it would run in the family. And why is Jason all grown up now. This movie was basically the first one except Jason was in it. Same plot almost same characters. The nudity in these movies is just unnecissary. Friday the 13th movies about the most boring movies i've ever watched. Jason X was by far the best one.
