Jerome G. from LA CRESCENTA, CA
Reviewed on 7/10/2012...
Summer Camp will never be the same again...

A very tight sequel and a terrifying look into the twisted world of Jason Vorhees.
The first film was the one to introduce movie fans to graphic depictions of killings,
shocking audiences in 1980 and forever changing the landscape of the horror film.
John Carpenter's "Halloween" ('78)was truly scary, without hardly any blood at all, and
rings as the true masterpiece which has withstood the test of time. But this review will focus on the "Friday The 13th" films (1-4 are the only ones worth watching). We only see a glimpse of Jason in the original, 'drowning' in Crystal Lake. In fact, he lives,and we do see him here before he picked up the infamous hockey mask in Part 3. The female lead in this one is Amy Steel, who is outstanding and acts circles around the others. She eventually confronts Jason and outsmarts him. Tom Savini did not return to do the gore FX in Part2 or 3 (Instead doing "The Burning" and "Creepshow"). He was ready to "kill Jason" in Part 4, thank God. The FX in The "Final" Chapter were incredible. In fact,witout the Gore FX, these films would have died out, as they are not known for their 'plot' or 'amazing dialouge'. They are remembered for the gratuitous nudity,blood, and that creepy , unsettling music by Henry Manfredini. A milestone in 80's horror!

Movie Reviews

Possibly The Greatest Of The Early Fridays
Stephen B. O'Blenis | Nova Scotia, Canada | 09/30/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"As I noted in my write-up for the first "Friday The 13th", I feel that movie and this one form two halves of a beginning stage for the full series. The first deliberately ended on a wide-open note (not as common in 1980 as it is today, and not in the slightest contrived but the pivotal point for the whole movie and perhaps the whole series) and without the second chapter the first would have been woefully incomplete.

I think "Part 2" fully equals or possibly exceeds its predecessor. Like "Part 1", it's shot in a somewhat 'rough' manner, with simple camerawork and a minimum of flash, similar to the styles for the first "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" or "Basket Case", though not nearly As rough. It's a technique that's worked far better in a number of horror films than in most genres, because it doesn't look like someone's meticulously filming a motion picture, it looks as though events are being captured on film as they happen, giving the movie (when it's done right) a creepy, unsettling atmosphere.

It's got one of the most likable casts of characters in The "Friday" line (admittedly a problem in some of the other entries), with even the couple of characters who look like they're going to be total wastes becoming much more bearable as the movie progresses and you get to know them, with my personal favorite all along being the Kirsten Baker character (Teri). And Jason, of course. Actually, this is one of the most essential chapters in the series in establishing Jason as not just atop-tier horror monster, but a top-tier 'sympathetic' horror monster in the vein of the Frankenstein Monster, as opposed to Freddy Krueger, who's a top-tier 'Pure Evil' horror monster. It's been opined that Jason isn't truly evil because he acts on instinct alone like the shark in Jaws, or a force of nature like a hurricane - with no actual will and hence no ill will. I agree with part of that but not all - I submit that Jason acts on instinct AND emotion but without reasoning, rationality, or any of the 'intellecetual' thought processes, aside from occasional glimmers at most. One can see that in this film, especially when it's rewatched after some of the later entries. You see things in the early films in new ways, and sometimes from very disturbing new angles after you have the benefit of hindsight from seeing all the movies. Very surprisingly, you can also sometimes see things from slightly brighter possible angles too, in addition to darker interpretations.

Both by itself and in conjunction with the other entries, "Part 2" is particularly disturbing in some of the things it doesn't come right out and say, but which have unsettling implications for possible untold parts of Jason Voorhees's origins. There are some things that are very open to interpretation in places (some in more than one mutually-contradictory direction). To say any more would be to risk giving away possible spoilers.

In less abstract terms to this movie's many high points - excellent pacing, high intensity, some genuine humor (as opposed to failed attempts at humor in some similar horror movies), some truly ferocious moments, and an absolutely awesome midight lakeside scene with Baker (which was all the more enjoyable because it didn't come until after one had time to get to know her character, so by that point I was thoroughly smitten with her). Also, Baker's character has an adorable little puppy she carries along with her through much of the movie. A little 'cute animal' touch here and there to occasionally break the tension usually doesn't hurt; plus it makes me like the character even more because I have a soft spot for girls who love animals. Besides, she's so frikkin' Sexy (Kirsten, not the dog!!)

All this and one of the best, most high-charged endings in the "Friday" series - this isn't just a must-see, this is a must-have."
Scariest Jason
Richard Stange | Hawaii | 12/11/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

""As bad as Friday the 13th, Part 2 is, it's a work of art in comparison to the rest of the Friday the 13th flicks that came afterward." - Mark Englehart (Amazon Editorial Review)

You know, I've got a crazy thought. I thought that a store like Amazon would actually want to SELL THEIR PRODUCTS. Having some dork say "as bad as this movie is" is not the best way to sell a product.

Onto Friday 2, this movie tells a very good story in the context of an urban legend while developing key characters and building suspense. The deaths are creepy and violent, the music is awesome, and Jason is at his scariest. This film also has the best atmosphere of the series.

This movie could have been the original, despite the original being very good as well."
One of the Better In the Series
Ryan Rogers | Memphis, TN | 09/07/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is tied with Friday the 13th, Part VI - Jason Lives as my favorites of the series. This is still back when this series aimed to be scary and not comical. We all know that lengthy series of movies have more than their share of rotten pieces. With this release, Friday the 13th hadn't reached that point.

Now, the film picks up where the first left off. It features Alice, the survivor of the first film. Without going into much detail I will say that this one is better than the first and definitely one of the better of the series.

Definitely Recommended."
