Classic Friday : Friday The 13th Part 2 (1981) 6/10

Starring : Adrienne King, Amy Steel, John Furey, Kirsten Baker, Betsy Palmer, Warrington Gillette
Director : Steve Miner
Running Time : 83 mins

Following the death of his mother Pamela (Palmer), Jason Voorhees (Gillette) appears to have returned to Camp Crystal Lake. The camp is closed, but there’s another one just next door so Jason, having witnessed his mother’s murder, goes on a killing spree to avenge her death, killing off camp counsellors one by one.

Although not as clever as the first instalment, this pretty much had everything you’d want from a horror sequel. There’s plenty of deaths and even the possibility of a supernatural villain until all is revealed. Jason doesn’t have his tell-tale hockey mask until the next installment, but even with a bag on his head he’d pretty grim.
