Review of Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) by Dayna N — 03 Jan 2009

Friday The 13th part 2 In my opinion the best Friday in the series.

After seeing The heroine from part one "Alice"get an Ice pick through the brain and The decapitated head of Mrs Vorhees in the Fridge I knew this was going to be great.

In Part 2 we get the first glimpse of Jason as an adult and he is far more menacing than his mother who was a 50 year old woman.

The original gets props for originality but not for it's plausibility.

Also ,Amy Steele gives a much better performance than the original heroine Adrienne King.

The kills in part 2 were better as well as the characters"sorry Kevin Bacon".

Even though in the first Friday in the end we do get the jolt of a young deformed Jason jumping out of the lake to drag The last girl standing"Alice" into the water"very scary".

In part 2 we get that same jolt when an assumed deceased Jason jumps through the window after the encounter at the shack with "Genny "and "Paul" where he has set up a shrine to his beheaded mother Pamela Voorhees .At this time in the franchise we didn't know Jason was indestructible so it was fair to assume he was dead even though I was hoping he wasn't "YET".

In Part 2 see him wearing a burlap bag over his face save one eye as well as his hideous face for an instant when "Genny" pulls the bag off."gnarly".The infamous Hockey mask was not introduced until part 3.

All in All one of my favorite Slasher movies of al time.
