FRIDAY THE 13TH WEEK, PART II: RETURNING TO CRYSTAL LAKE

Second out in FRIDAY THE 13TH WEEK is of course Friday the 13th Part 2, which takes us back to Jason's rural woods 5 years after the gruesome murders at Camp Crystal Lake. A new set of 'camp counselors' are spending two weeks in training at a remote camp and rumor has it that Jason is still lurking in the woods, set on revenging the death of his mother by killing anyone that comes onto his territory. Set on the same environment as its prequel, Friday the 13th Part 2 is doomed to have the same ill-fated destiny. Being a sucker for the 80's slashers with slow pace, as well as camp horror movies, I find this second part of the Jason Voorhees franchise still so fresh a sequel that it's... snug, to watch. As the second act picks up the pace, Friday the 13th Part 2 might be serving one of its times most compelling acts with its ending scenes.
