Movie Review - Friday the 13th Part 2

Starting where the last film finished with a recap in case you'd forgotten how it finished is this films intro. Already you know Jason died as a child, his mother is dead meaning there is no danger and the entire point of the film is debunked before it ever starts. Trying to ask "but did Jason actually die?" only succeeds in debunking the ending of the original so is also pointless.

Right, a camp next door to where Crystal Lake used to be is starting up. Now the 1st BIG goof is the assistant saying the phones aren't working yet. Not true as the guy who has his truck towed was talking to the camp for directions. The campfire story about Jason possibly being alive is pointless. We were told he wasn't a strong swimmer (and was far out in the lake when he drowned) and he was only a child so he'd have had to have taught himself wilderness survival in an area where there were bears.

The 1st to die is a local old man peeping on a couple kissing. Next to die is the local sheriff having chased a mysterious figure to a shack in the woods (where WAS he hiding by the way?). Finally one of the camp workers is killed (he was hung by a mantrap so an easy kill) though why their considered prey I don't know, their NOTHING to do with Crystal Lake. Next dead is the guy in the wheelchair (from behind as well, what a coward!). And he then kills a couple who were in bed having sex. And the girl in the sweater. The main camp leader is next to die in front of his assistant and she is the only one alive apart from the guy left at the bar.

Now she had a chance to kill him (the guy we're supposed to think is Jason) using the chainsaw, why she didn't when she'd seen him kill her boss and knew he'd killed all her other friends already is beyond me. It later appears he HADN'T killed her boss, just knocked him out as he turns up to save her in the shack where Mrs Voorhees head was.

You are left with a possible but uncertain if it was fake scare at the end and the assistant being put into an ambulance and driven away. It is unknown if the boss was alive and what happened to the guy they left at the bar. A very weak ending in a very stupid & pointless film.
