Friday the 13th Part 2
Chi chi chi... cha cha cha... Ah, yes.. sequels. Almost always a disappointment. But when it comes to the Friday series, you can't screw up too much. I mean all you need is horny teens, lots of blood, and some sort of basic story line. This film came out only a year afte hte first, so eithr they were working on it before the first was released, or someone threw this beauty together in a wwk and filmed it in a month. I liked how they killed off Annie, the main character from the first film, before the opening credits even started. Nice touch. They also had a new director. One thing I don't understand is the main character, Ginny, was trying to tell her boyfriend something early in the film, but they never revealed what it was. Odd. I'll give this one a 3.5 out of 5.
Characters
- Annie: Heroine of first film. Killed early on with a screwdriver through the head.
- Ralph: Crazy guy from the first one.Strangled. (So sad!)
- Ginny: Lead female of this flick.Counselor with attitude!
- Paul: Runs the place. Ginny's main squeeze. Fate unknown.
- Sandra: The kind of girl who likes to investigate creepy places where people die. Stabed with a spear while having sex.
- Jeff: Whipped boyfriend of Sandra. Also stabbed while having sex with Sandra (what a way to go!)
- Ted: Prankster. Seems kinda 'funny' if ya know what I mean. Survives.
- Terrie: Likes skinney dipping. Dies by methods unknown.
- Mark: Poor guy. As if being in a slasher flick wasn't bad enough, he's in a wheel chair! Easy prey for Jason to plant his machete into.
- Vicki: Falls for Mark (no pun intended). Stabbed with a kitchen knife.
- Officer with No Name: Typical cop. Hammer to the head.
- Muffin: Dog who is a lot smarted than a lot of the counselors. Survives.
