Friday the 13th, Part 2

Dir: Steve Miner (Friday the 13th Part III, House, Halloween H20, Lake Placid)
Cast: Amy Steel, John Furey, AdrienneKing, Kirsten Baker, Stuart Charno, Russell Todd
USA, 1981

Seen: revisited Jan 8, 2009

Reason to see: It was on the same DVD as Friday the 13th (1980)

A world of lame. As Friday the 13th was a classic horror film that got ripped off a lot, Part II trend sets the standard for bad horror sequels. It uses a fair amount of footage from the first film, basic premise, then ditches the tension but ramps up the display of skin and bad acting.

Shannon's Overall View:
I didn't love it
I'd not likely watch it again
I'd recommend it as for fans of campy horror
