Summary: Way better than the original
Review: This film is a lot more entertaining than the original.This film is undoubtably a classic, arguably because this marks Jason Voorhees as the killer.You don"t see from the killer"s point of view like in the first movie (it"s so unscary when It"s in first-person view!)It"s also considerably gorier than the original and a little more suspensful.Amy Steel (who plays Ginny) is one of the best scream queens there is and it"s a shame she didn"t return to do the other sequels,she would"ve been great! I wish Jason could have gotten the hockey mask at this point(he looks dumb with a pillow sack over his head).My only other gripe is that it still needs to be longer(these films are ALWAYS too short! ) Overall,this is an entertaining sequel that could have gotten a five-star rating had it been longer and scarier(part 6 is still the scariest in my book! )All in all,a very cool film.By the way, Jason sure does look laughable with a pillow sack over his head,don"t you think? Rated R-contains gory violence,brief nudity and somewhat "mild" profanity.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Yeah! More Torture
Review: Steve Miner's Friday the 13th Part 2 continues the 13th series "proud" tradition of releasing the most repulsive and disgusting filmmaking available. Now that Jason Vorehees is the killer, the series has even gone further down the path of quality oblivion. Here is just a short list of complaints I have for Part 2: more blood, more gore, more sexually active teenagers getting killed during or after the act, the only new addition to the film being what new weapons can we kill the characters with, more painfully long chase sequences with big-chested young women making every mistake possible, more aimless and excessive acts of violence with no intent or moral, more pitiful acting, more predictable plotting, more shameless idea stealing from Halloween, no atmosphere except for camp, and this list could go on forever. If you're in the mood for a movie with a hideously scarred imbecile slaughtering sexually active teenagers because his mom was deacpitated than this movie is for you. If you want a movie that aims a little higher, go elsewhere! Great DVD, awful movie. I'd rather be flogged by reeds than watch this movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This movie ROCKS!
Review: After seeing his mother get beheaded, crazy Jason kills a bunch of camp councelors who want to reopen the cursed camp. Just as good as the first one, this has exactly the same amount of sex and drugs equal death equasion as the first. Fine fun for any day of the week. Popcorn, Pepsi and Pizza.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Ok now this flick still creeps me?
Review: I'm 30 yrs old and this film still gives me the willies! I have no clue why? I think it is the forest setting and the fact that Jason wears a gunny sack over his head? Amy Steel was pretty good too! No point to this review or movie but what the heck it was and still is entertaining!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: one of the worst of the series
Review: this film was the worst of the series, right up there with part 5. the acting is bad, and it was steve miner's first directing job, and i'm afraid that it shows. even though i suppose that it's a worthy sequel, this is simply a poor film with some of the worst acting. jason was skinny and rather weak-looking here, and yet in part 3 (which happens in the same day, mind you)he is all muscular-looking...i don't know.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Tends to be a remake of the original film
Review: "Friday the 13th, Part 2" was rushed into the theatres a year after the original made it's success. Jason marks his first appearance in this film (although his hockey mask doesn't come until Part 3). The plot is relatively familiar to anyone who has seen the first film, or any of the other films. Five years after Mrs. Voorhees went on her murder spree, a counselor training center has opened up right across from the now shut-down Camp Crystal Lake. The new counselors have heard the legend of Jason, but they don't exactly believe it so he appears and hacks several of them to death just like his mommy a few years earlier. Hmmm, let's see, in this not-so-Oscar-worthy film, we get to see a machete in the face, a stabbing, a throat slashing, an offscreen murder, an icepick in the temple, a chewed up dog, a double impalement, a choking with barbed wire and some other sexual stuff that should be in a "Jason" movie. This is the best sequel to this never ending series. It starts the Jason legend and paved the way for the sequels to follow it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great sequel!
Review: This is a great slasher sequel, as most of them are. People complain about how all of the Friday sequels are the same thing. Well, that's what's great about slasher films. They're always the same thing. I mean, I like getting the same thing all the time. Sequels should be...SEQUELS! Look at Halloween H20. It's sort of a remake of Halloween III, but in a way it's a sequel to Halloween 6, but it seems to act like 4-6 never happened. It got lost somewhere in there. And a lot of fans dis-liked it, despite its $50+ million box office take. Look at The Lost World : Jurassic Park. Who would have liked to have seen the characters from the first film, return to the park? I got my hand way up! With the Friday The 13th series, the sequels are the same thing over and over again. Here in Part 2, Jason Voorhees is handed down the machete from his beloved ax-murdering mother. And went on to become one of the screen's all-time biggest villains. Ginny, Paul and the rest of the teenaged, sex-crazed teenagers hang out at a camp ground, next door to the ol infamous Camp Blood. There's nudity, spear-poking and cleaver-chopping, and even the crazy old Ralph, who eventually meets his maker. In the beginning scene, Alice from Part 1, finds Mrs. Voorhees' head in her refregirator, only to get offed by the soon-to-be hockey mask-wearing Jason. Yes, thats right. Jason gets the hockey mask, not here, but in Part 3 (my favorite of the series.) Here as we all know, Jason wears a one-eyed sack.

There's some great gore and death scenes present in this horror classic. Including : Jason's VERY FIRST SHISHKABOB KILLING! A wheel-chair bound teen gets it, and another teen hanging upside down gets his throat slit. The FX is just brilliant! Its really awful, that the film was cut to pieces, due to the MPAA. The score here is EXCELLENT, ONCE AGAIN! And the scares, are SUPERB! It seems all the Scream crowds say the Scream movies are the only scary slasher films. There are the same scares here! They don't know what they're talking about, because they probally never saw a pre-Scream slasher opus. Some people seem to think the first is the best, but this one is more entertaining and has more killings!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An able slasher sequel
Review: As far as slasher sequels go, Friday the 13th part 2 is one of the best. First of all, it's completely fascinating to examine this film next to Halloween II. Now, the success of "Scream" has paved the way for a massive wave of ridiclous teenage film critics whom believe that Halloween is the only good slasher film ever made (of course it's the best). Now, the original F13 was so successful and influential that even Halloween II began ripping it off with gruesome murders at every turn. Now, to any horror fan with a brain, Friday the 13th part 2 is a far superior sequel than Halloween II ever was.This one essentially is a rehash of the original, and once again, the film makes GREAT and effective uses of its woodsy setting, it creates that feeling of isolation and desperation much more effectively than Halloween II, and Jason is just plain scary in this sequel. The climactic chase between Jason and Ginny is quite intense and the Crystal Lake mythology discussed between a few of the characters is fascinating. I'm not advocating Friday 2 as a major horror achievement, but as far as horror sequels go this one is the cream of its crop, don't be afraid, buy this one (this DVD transfer is wonderful)!

Rating: 5 stars
