Review of Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) by David B — 12 Jan 2009
Jason's here! His mom's dead and he's pissed off; he's out of the lake, he's grown up, and he's found a sack with a hole in it to stick over his head! Other than that, it's basically more-of-the-same: a re-make of its rather crude predecessor with the same negligible amount of style, imagination, and tension.
That said, the movie isn't boring, the luckless victims are dispatched with reasonable frequency, and the whole thing has a corny 80's slasher charm--as a result, the movie is modest entertainment for the easy-to-please horror fan like myself.
