Friday The 13th Part 2
5 years after the first tragic incidents back in 1979, a new camp has been opened across the lake from the infamous 'Camp Blood' (Camp Crystal Lake). And it has the same fate, being stalked by an unknown assailant. Is it Mrs. Voorhees' son Jason, who did not really drown in the lake some 30 years before?

cannot be defended intellectually, yet, the film's very simplicity and directness gives it a kind of folkloric power, albeit power that works only if you give yourself over to it

Friday the 13th Part 2 never aspires to be termite art.

Basically only for completists looking to see Jason take center stage for the first time. [Blu-ray]

a carbon copy sequel

Not as good as the original, but still pretty fun, it serves up more of the same and continued to be fresh enough before its many other sequels got too silly.

...ultimately right in line with its passable yet far-from-memorable predecessor.

Perhaps the least interesting of all the Friday the 13th films, since it tries to be a "sequel" to the first film, referencing themes and storylines.

The new camp counselors are interchangeable with the old ones. Different faces, same basic people.

Even crude techniques, when properly employed, can be effective, in a lowest-common-denominator kind of way.

Its general competence remains a surprising improvement, albeit not one strong enough to elevate it into the realm of recommendation.

Yes, it's a cheesy slasher film, but you know that going in, and this is a well-done example of the genre.

A solid first sequel and the truly chilling jump scare at the end gives the original's a run for its money.
