Friday The 13th - Part 2 (DVD 2002)

A very good sequel to the classic Friday 13th. Terrifying end sequence that I can only hope they re-create in the upcoming remake

I picked this dvd because i enjoy watching horror films.
I also think this film is a classic.I do not have any dislikes about
this film.

Well what can I say ? If your a horror fan you'll love it, it was a great follow up to the original film & probably the best sequel, after this it all kind of went 3D..ish and then a lot worse.

I saw this film and the original about 20 years ago and didn't rate them too much......... I thought i should give them another go and actually enjoyed them more second time around... you know the plot.... bunch of kids go to camp crystal etc etc... If anything the suspense factor in the second installment is higher than the first film, making the murders even more enjoyable than usual. The killings are cool but not as gruesome as Tom savini's original (you can't beat tom!), i'm even wondering if the version i saw had been censored as it definately had a lower blood count than the first film, although to make up for this the birds were a lot better looking i thought!! Never mind the're dead now!
I normally favour Michael Myers over Jason but on the evidence of this i will have to watch more of the films to verify this!! Don't know if i will get up to part 10, set in outer space!!! Yrah, good film...

Classic 80's American horror with young teenagers having fun on a camping trip. Jason stalks the camp, protecting his "neighbourhood" from the invasion of the outside world. Who ever dares to wonder beyond the boundaries risk a confrontation with Jason.....I enjoy movies which are creepy, unpredictable and keeps you at the edge of your seat, always hoping to get a glimpse of Jasons face. Easy viewing, thin plot and perfect night in movie.

Some People might not rate friday 13th as good, but as a big horror fan its up their with the like of childs play and halloween. During my time watching horror films( pretty much since i turned 18, am now 26)i had only watched friday 13th part 1,4 and 8.So getting hold of the 2nd part was a must in my mind. And i was happy(and a little scared lol) once i had watched the film because i was expecting him to be in a hockey mask. But no instead he had a old sack over his head instead. As the saying goes 'you cant keep a good man down' and i think that's true in the case of friday 13th part 2. Only difference is it's a film we are talking about and not a man, and not even a good one at that.As the story goes its the usual stalk and kill film.One by one the cast meet a grizzly end all of course for the one or two hero's(dam them)that save the day, well until the 3rd.Jason goes on killing spree in his fave haunt at camp crystal lake as the voice of his dead mother prompts him on to his next kill as a revenge for the death of his mother.And as if that wasn't enough it also turns out that she wants to continue to get her revenge on the people that let her son(jason voorhees) drown in camp crystal lake's lake. As i said earlier am a big horror fan, and although my fave genre tends to aim towards the zombie film end of the horror franchise, i still have room in my dark heart for the classics and low budget horror movies. But thats for another review(if am lucky). I have a long way to go to complete my dream of having the largest collection of horror films in the world. Ok well i can settle for the uk for now.
If i had to pick bits that i dis-liked i guess i would say the acting and camera from time to time.But i and some others would say that those attributes are what make a classic horror film a classic.
This film and the others in the friday 13th series in fact any similar horror film like this classic should be owned by any horror fan.

Story:
Operating under the assumption that the site near a particularly gruesome series of mass murders is the perfect place to open a summer camp for unsuspecting children, a fresh batch of teenage camp counselors return to the ill-fated Camp Crystal Lake five years after its most recent atrocities. Since the perpetrator of those crimes was decapitated by the only survivor (Adrienne King), the plucky teens ignorantly go about the business of reviving the camp, unaware that they are being stalked by an unseen figure who lives in the woods, waiting for the right opportunity to take bloody revenge.

Comments:
This time it's not the mother of jason, but jason itself who does the killing, he had been living in the woods for many years and is totally wild, he wears a hood over his face and not yet the ice hockey mask later to be his trade-mark.
awesome movie, watch this if you like freddy vs jason, you just HAVE to know the history. A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
