Review of Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) by Steven H — 27 Jul 2011

Wow. I can't wait to get into this one. Sometimes when you watch a scary movie, you end up with a stomach ache. From laughing your ass off. Part 2 was made a year after the original so it was a quick fix for the teen crowd.

Aaaaand it shows. The story is a repeat of the first: teens getting killed at a summer camp. In really elaborate ways. Let's just talk about a few things I happened to notice in this movie. First off, right at the beginning, Jason apparently calls the sole survivor of the first film and sits on the line, just being.

....scary. My question is, how does Jason know how to use a phone? We've established that he's a humongous, retarded, deformed man. Can he even use a phone? And how'd he get her number? Second, Jason, in this movie, still hasn't decided that a hockey mask is the favored fashion for serial killers, so he dons a burlap sack on his head.

With ONE eye hole cut out. How does he even see to kill anybody? What the hell is his depth perception like? And lastly, one of the doomed teens lucky enough to get a job at Camp Crazy-Ass........is a dude in a wheelchair.

Now, I'm not clowning on people in wheelchairs by any means, but......c'mon.........really? Is he the lifeguard? Well, we're never gonna know because homeboy gets a machete in the face. And then rolls backwards down the steps of the not-handicap-accessable-at-all cabin.

Wow. It's just..........wow. I hate reading this because I sound snarky, but if you had been sitting with me watching this...well.......your stomach would be hurting too. Can I recommend this? Not as a scary movie.

But if you're looking to Mystery Science Theater this bitch, then get ready. You're gonna be cracking each other up within NO time. And the funniest thing about it all? The movies now get worse.
