Review of Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) by Renzo V — 16 Feb 2014
"THE KILLER OF CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE PART 2".
- This second installment of the 'Friday the 13th'-filmfranchise dates from 1981 and was directed by Steve Miner (Lake Placid, Halloween H2O: 20 years later). In this sequel we meet slasher-legend Jason Voorhees, who wears a sack on his head. The storyline stays about the same, but I didn't mind. Although it's predictable and a bit cheesy, I really enjoy the fright moments. With Adrienne King (Friday the 13th) returning as Alice. Even the village idiot, Crazy Ralph, from part one makes a reappearance. Get ready because the body count continues...
Two months after surviving the Camp Crystal Lake Massacre, Alice (King) is trying to pick up her old life but still suffers from bad nightmares. When one night she wants to feed her cat and opens the fridge, she is shocked to see the decapitated head from Mrs. Voorhees...
Five years later, a group of teenagers gather at Crystal Lake for a two weeks of training to become camp counselors. The original camp has been closed down and is forbidden territory, but the legend of the drowned Jason Voorhees and his psychotic mother still lives on in the tales told by the campfire. During the night the hormones of the young adults rise. But unknowingly they are being watched by someone who lives in the woods. Someone who is out to kill them. One by one counselors are butchered. Who will survive the bloodbath?
