Friday the 13th Part II (1981)Directed by Steve Miner
Written by Ron Kurz Starring Amy Steel, Warrington Gillette, John Furey, Adrienne King, Stuart Charno, Kirsten Baker Sequel to 1980's Friday the 13th |
The first sequel in the Friday the 13th franchise is highly entertaining and the first real glimpse we get at the iconic Jason Voorhees. The story is nearly identical to that of the first one, but that isn't really why we watch these movies, is it? We enjoy the gore factor, the cheap scares, and the big bad monster, all of which this film has plenty of. I only hope the following sequels are this enjoyable.

The first sequel to Friday the 13th proves to be a highly entertaining time. This was the first movie in the series to give us our first glimpse at Jason Voorhees, and it was definitely worth it. While he didn't have the hockey mask just yet, the burlap sack was still a good choice. Even though the story is exactly the same as the previous, the movie once overcomes this by giving us more creative kills and more disposable characters.
On that note, I did like how the movie came up with Jason's home in the woods. It was suitably creepy and held a terrifying surprise. This entry began the tradition of revealing Jason's face and, luckily, it worked. Jason looked very creepy. A solid installment that introduces the iconic villain Jason Voorhees. |
