FRIDAY THE 13TH PART II BLU-RAY
*** Out of 5
The Blu-ray release for Friday the 13th Part II is the same release as the Deluxe Edition DVD; while I haven't seen the Deluxe Edition DVD if you have that odds are it won't be worth buying on Blu-ray since the features are the same and while it will probably look slightly better I don't think it will look that much better to warrant an upgrade, but if you only have the SD DVD the sound and picture quality alone is worth the upgrade.
This is the same R-rated cut as we've gotten in the past and the footage is nowhere to be found and Paramount may have cheated us in the past I think their claims are legit. With all the SE releases they have given the movies if they had the footage they would have included it as either a feature or in the movie. So if you're holding out hopes that Paramount releases an unrated version odds are you'll never see one; with that out of the way onto the release.
INSIDE CRYSTAL LAKE MEMORIES (HD) 11:14
This feature is an interview with Peter Bracke the writer of Crystal Lake Memories, which features interviews and all kinds of info on the franchise; this wasn't a bad feature and Bracke does talk about the making of part II, but it would be better to have members of the cast and crew involved also covered is his book. Again it was a good feature, but having people involved with the film would have been better, but for what it's worth Peter Bracke does a very good job explaining info on the movie.
FRIDAY'S LEGACY: HORROR CONVENTIONS (HD) 6:49
Really lame feature, which has nothing to do with the movie; all this feature provides is a brief look at the convention scene; I'm not really sure why this even made the disc. I suppose this would work as a filler feature, but due to the weakness of the other features it makes this even worse.
LOST TALES FROM CAMP BLOOD PART II (HD) 8:54
Directed by Andrew Ceperley I found this to be entertaining, but the daytime scenes take away from it. It was enjoyable for what it was worth though, but I'd rather have something about Friday the 13th Part 2.
JASON FOREVER (SD) 29:47
This was shot in 2004 for the Crystal Lake to Manhattan set, but it was only a Best Buy Exclusive; Peter Bracke moderates and Ari Lehman, Warrington Gillette, C.J. Graham and Kane Hodder appear; this was an entertaining feature, but nothing we haven't heard before; Steve Dash is the one who actually played Jason in part 2, Gillette was hired for the role and is credited in the movie, but only played him for the unmasking scene at the end hence why that is all he talks about. Overall I liked the feature, but again I would have rather seen more about Part 2.
THEATRICAL TRAILER (HD) 2:12
No need to explain this one.
TRANSFER
This is an upgrade over the SD DVD for sure and even though I haven't seen the Deluxe Edition DVD they are both from the same source and any upgrade probably won't be that noticeable in general. But overall the transfer was excellent; it's not as good as the transfer for the original, but light years ahead of the 2D HD transfer for part 3. Seeing as the film was released in 1981 you cannot expect perfection, but this transfer cleans up a lot of the grain and dirt and the colors are strong and sharp and it's not as dark looking as the SD DVD; like I said this transfer isn't as good as the original, but it comes really close at times. I was surprised at how clean the movie looked. The only scene where the grain was bad was when Ginny and Paul are driving to the bar, but it's not a big deal since it was only a shot of the sky, but besides that one scene grain and dirt are kept very low. I was hesitant on if I should pick this up, I loved the transfer for the original, but hated the 2D transfer for part 3, but no doubt this is a winner. It may not be the perfect Hi-Def experience, but it looks amazing. It's not as dark and murky as the SD DVD and is brighter and no worries the movie doesn't lose its low budget charm. Again I have to say I was quite surprised at how great the picture quality was.
AUDIO
The 5.1 Dolby TrueHD I just wasn't that impressed with; the music sounded good, but I felt the dialogue was a bit low. You can easily understand everything that is said, but I wasn't really into the audio. I felt the same for part 3 and like that one I watched the movie with the original Mono track. While the shrieks from the score might have more of a jolt with the TrueHD I felt the Mono track was the overall better of the two.
FINAL WORDS ON THE DISC
Friday the 13th Part II was a solid entry in the series and far better than most people will give it credit for, in a sense this is the original with a higher budget and a new villain. The characters are pretty much the same as those in the original and the pacing is mostly the same. Even though this is a rehash of the original it serves its purpose as an entertaining and creepy slasher flick, but the release was quite poor. While the picture and audio alone make this a major upgrade from the SD DVD the special features really aren't very special. It would be nice if some people involved with the movie took part in the release and due to that this disc is a failure; Peter Bracke does a good job at supplying info on the movie there was still far more that could have been done. So while the disc is a winner in picture and audio it's a total failure in terms of extras. But again the Blu-ray is more than worth it for the excellent transfer and that is why I give it 3-stars; I would rate it higher, but taking the overall product into account the features take away from it.
