Synopsis: Just when you thought it was safe to go back to camp… here’s even more heart-pounding terror.
Five years after the horrible bloodbath at Camp Crystal Lake, all that remains is the legend of Jason Voorhees and his demented mother, who had murdered seven camp counselors. At a nearby summer camp, the new counselors are unconcerned about the warnings to stay away from the infamous site. Carefree, the young people roam the area, not sensing the ominous lurking presence. One by one, they are attacked and brutally slaughtered. Suspense and screams abound in this compelling thriller.
***********************************************************************
A technically more solid film than its predecessor, but still a paint-by-numbers slasher film. The scares were minimal in this one, though.
I still can’t believe that some people think this is the best horror series. I know for a fact that they get worse as we go along, so this it’s hard to imagine anyone believing this. I mean, as bad as the ‘Halloween’ and the ‘Nightmare On Elm Street’ movies get, the best ones in those series are FAR superior to the best here.
I mean, the ‘Friday the 13th’ films are okay… but they’re really not memorable, original or even mildly superior to its peers. Maybe when Jason finally dons his mask things’ll change… we’ll see 😉
