DVD Reviews of Friday the 13th 2 (Ws Sen)
DVD Review: Jason gets his kill on!
Summary: 5 Stars
Part 2 paves the way for the other 10 sequels.Part 2 is were Jason starts his murdering career on screen for the first time,opening with the revenge kill of the only survior from part 1 that decapitated his mother.I love that opening scene. I have seen this movie at least a dozen times and i'm going to play it right after I'm done writing this(bye!)DVD Review: My favorite Friday movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Friday the 13th part 2. A very good sequal. I liked this movie even more than the original. It has undeniable suspense. It has a few really good kills. It has one of the best looking Friday girls (Kirsten Baker). Her nude scene alone is worth the price of admission.
The movie starts off with our heroine from the last Friday the 13th in her apartment. She is feeling a little bit scared by being alone in her dark, empty apartment. What happens next? Well, you will have to see the movie to find out.
The next day we are introduced to the rest of main characters of this film. We are treated to yet another camp setting. Things go well for awhile until murders start to happen. People are disposed of left and right. Who is the one doing all of the murders? Is it the killer from the first movie?
This movie is great from start to finish. It held my interest all the way through. I hadn't seen this movie in quite a few years and remembered that this movie always seemed to be my favorite Friday movie and this time it didn't dissapoint. I loved hearing the speculation some characters had about an urban legend that was supposedly lurking in the woods.
This movie really has an early 80's feel to it, which I like. Right now I am working on building a time machine and when it is complete I plan on going back in time during the filming of this movie. I will warn the producers to save as much of the extra footage as they can so that in the future the rest of us will be able to watch the extra scenes to our heart's delight.
DVD Review: Good Flick!
Summary: 4 Stars
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2HSZNPDCUBL1P This is a video from my youtube channel Horrorreviews123DVD Review: The Very Best of the sequels, BUT...
Summary: 2 Stars
...WHY another cut/edited version of this classic slasher film???? I am a great fan of Friday the 13th series, especially the first four (4) films.
I think there is nothing much more to say about this otherwise fine example of the 1980's slasher genre. You can find so many previous reviews concerning the plot, contents etc. of this film right here in Amazon... However, for the full uncut version I would give 5 stars right away!
Best regards to you all folks!
DVD Review: Jason Voorhees Makes His Debut
Summary: 5 Stars
After seeing his beloved mom beheaded at Crystal Lake, a demented Jason Voorhees goes on a killing spree that continues to this day. As common a household name as the machete he wields, Jason proves that you can't keep a good serial killer down for long.
I watched "Friday the 13th Part 2" in a "Friday the 13th" marathon that began on Friday, June 13, 2008, Jason's birthday! "Friday the 13th Part 2," I learned, is an excellent sequel, far better than most other sequels in the horror genre. As in the original film, we don't see the killer's face until the end, though we strongly suspect who the killer is. The death scenes, once again, are very gruesome and imaginative. The director, Steve Miner, must've been highly influenced by the Italian Master of Horror, Mario Bava, who directed "Bay of Blood" (a.k.a. "Twitch of the Death Nerve"). Some of the scenes from "Friday the 13th Part 2" closely resemble those from "Bay of Blood." For example, the machete buried in the crippled man's face and the spear thrown into the couple making love on the bed can also be found in "Bay of Blood." I strongly recommend that you buy the "Mario Bava Collection Volume 2" which has "Bay of Blood" along with some other Bava classics from the last years of his career.
In "Friday the 13th Part 2," we learn more about the serial killer's identity than in all the proceeding ones. He is made to appear as an actual person and not a horrifying creature. We learn that he is a mentally deficient mongoloid who didn't drown, but ran into the woods to live as a hermit or to be raised by a hermit. Mistrusting all humans, including his mom, he stayed clear of them; but when he saw his mom die, his fear turned to rage and he had to kill anyone who trespassed in his woods. Knowing he looks different from the beautiful camp counselors that he so loves to stalk and kill, Jason uses torn bed sheets to hide his face in shame. We also learn that he pays homage to his mom by surrounding her decapitated head with burning candles.
"Friday the 13th Part 2" is a must have for fans of the series and fans of the slasher frenzy that gripped our country between the mid seventies and the mid eighties.
Description of Friday the 13th 2 (Ws Sen)
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. This installment officially introduced us to Jason Voorhees as the killer (if you remember Drew Barrymore's fatal phone quiz in Scream, you know that the killer in the first Friday the 13th was actually Jason's mother), and made the slicing and dicing even more generic. Survivor Alice is dispatched within the first 10 minutes, and we're left with plucky Ginny (Amy Steel, doing a fairly decent Jamie Lee Curtis impression) to do battle with the monstrous Jason. Ginny's part of a another group of horny teenagers (less intelligent as well as less attractive than their predecessors) who try to resurrect Camp Crystal Lake five years after the initial murders--a pretty mean feat, considering this movie was made only a year after the first one. Being a smarty-pants child-psychology major, Ginny tries to outwit the dim Jason, and at one point dons the bloody and moldy sweater of Jason's late mother (which is more disgusting than any of the killings beforehand) in an attempt to confuse the masked killer. Jason may not be the brightest bulb on the tree, but the only one who's going to pull the wool--or in this case, the burlap--over his eyes is Jason himself, who wears a sack with one eyehole throughout the movie to hide his deformed features (he finally found his way to a sporting-goods store and his trademark hockey mask appears in the third installment of the series). Directed by Steve Miner, who also helmed the next Friday the 13th film (in 3-D no less) as well as the more reputable House, Forever Young, and Halloween: H20. --Mark EnglehartGeneral DVDs
