DVD Review : Friday The 13TH part 2

"Friday the 13th" part 2! That's right, with the exclamation mark and everything. I'm not making this up. That's really how the titles shoot out at you in part 2. Welcome to the early 80's. And welcome to my favorite Friday The 13th so far. Why? Well keep reading.

Five years after the massacre at Camp Crystal Lake, the nerve racking legend of Jason Voorhees and his diabolical mother lives on. Despite omninous warnings from the locals to stay away from "Camp Blood", a group of counselors at a nearby summer camp decide to go exploring. All too soon they encounter horrors of their own and the killings begin again.

Why was this my favorite so far? Simple. Strong Female Lead. Not only does she attack Jason with a chainsaw at one point (Hot) she also actually put on his dead mothers old sweater to trick Jason and then attempts to behead him. It's really nice that even in 1981 they were writing in strong female leads. Random fact: between 11 sequals this series has generated over 1 Billion Dollars.

 

Special features include: Inside"Crystal Lake Memories", Jason Forever, Theatrical Trailer, Friday's Legacy : Horror Conventions, Lost Tales from Camp Blood - Part 2. Once again the Behind the Scenes features on this DVD are amazing. For the Jason Forever featurette we get to see four Jason's all together answering all sorts of crazy horror fans questions. Really good stuff and filmed very nicely. Kane Hodder is a real nut. And we love him for that. Plus be sure to check out "Crystal Lake Memories" which is an interview with an author who wrote THE book on "Friday The 13th".

All in all another classic in the series. Once again enjoy the special 3D cover. Rent it and buy it today.

I give it a A.
