 
A group of teenagers
decides to stay at a camp type of a farm
area on Crystal Lake that is owned by one
of them named Chris (Dana Kimmell) who
decides to party out and smoke dope as
well as having outrageous sex too.
One of them causes trouble named Shelly
(Larry Zerner) who likes to pull all
kinds of pranks on his friends which
causes tension for many of them.
Shelly and his blind date Vera Sanchez
(Catherine Parks) who shows no interest
in him have a bad run in with a biker
gang at a corner store which makes things
even more sticky.
But this is the least of their worries as
inside a barn Jason Voorhees (Richard
Brooker) is hiding out and watching them
about to make a move on every one of
them.
During this moment Chris and her
boyfriend Rick (Paul Kratka) go out for a
stroll as Chris told her about a
terrifying experience one time about a
hideous unhuman looking man that attacked
her one time the last time she was there
and tried to return to overcome her fear.
Could this freak be Jason and is waiting
for her so he can finish from what he
started?
This was released
in theatre's in 1982 when at the time 3-D
film's were the style as this was in 3-D
at the time.
The story lacks a strong plot but it's
nice to see Jason wearing his hockey mask
for the first time.
It is a nice look at a farm as well as
the country lands and a cheesy look of
the early 80's slasher film genre too.
Most of the actors
in this one remained as virtual unknowns
and many of them lack with their
characters.
Dana Kimmell especially lacked with
her character but yet, she represented
herself quite well and had the right
looks.
Paul Kratka seems to do a fairly
nice job as the caring boyfriend Rick in
the film and years later became a cult
icon.
Tracie Savage looked beautiful and
seemed to perform off well too showing
some true characteristics to her part.
Larry Zerner was another memorable
character actor in this sequel as the
prankster Shelly. He looks goofy yes and
can he perform? Well he is passable so
there ya go.
David Katims seemed to do ok as a
stoner in the film as he reminds me of a
Tommy Chong type of personality in the
film.
Supporting actor Nick Savage
lived to play a bad ass biker.
We also have another supporting role by
Steve Susskind as a store owner who
performs well with character bringing
some humor to his part.
A body gets split
in half
An eye ball is exposed
A biker lady is stabbed with a pitch fork
A girls neck has a knife cut through her
while resting on a hammock
A guy's eyeball pops out of his head.
The directing by Steve
Miner again is nothing that special
as he was very rusty with it but he still
tried to make it the best he could.
There is a good shot on Richard
Brooker as Jason struggling to get
up before the opening credits acting
wounded and picking up his machette.
A nice look at an outside supermarket as
well as supporting actress Cherie
Maugans as the store owner acting
like a nag.
A nice shot on some clothes outside
getting dried and Brooker
standing behind the clothes walking by.
A nice shot on a snake springing out of a
cage.
Steve Susskind as the male store has
a great shocked expression when he is
hacked by a butcher knife.
A nice shot on Larry Zerner
creeping up behind Jeffrey Rogers
wearing a mask and a fake knife.
There is the odd moment with Zerner
having a dialogue between Rachel
Howard and David Katims in
a van discussing about them smoking dope
as it tries to look funny but it fails.
Everyone in the van reacts well when a
police car is behind them blaring it's
siren and panics trying to swallow the
marijuana.
A good shot on bit part actor David
Wiley as a bum holding an eye ball.
We spot many nice shots on Brooker
walking into the barn.
Miner also shot some nice locations
around the farm.
Paul Kratka is good by trying to
tell his girlfriend not to look when it
shows Larry Zerner lying on the
ground pretending to be dead.
There's a good shot and dialogue between Dana
Kimmel and Tracie Savage
walking out in the field discussing their
friend and his sick jokes.
We spot a good dialogue with supporting
actress Gloria Charles as a
biker chick taking a wallet away from Catherine
Parks as Parks tries to get
it back showing a blunt attitude but Charles
knew how to get tough and demanding
towards her to make her ask nicely.
A good moment with supporting actor Nick
Savage as a biker screaming
obscenities showing a vehicle speeding
away.
A good dialogue between Kratka up
in a barn pulling up hay with a rope and Kimmel
discussing stuff as it shows a nice
shot on Kratka pulling a rope on
top of the barn.
We have nice blocking between Nick
Savage and Brooker with
their fighting sequences together in the
barn. There's also a good shot on
Brooker using his machette aftewards
using a few whacks at it.
A good shot on Parks sitting on
a pier and Zerner's hand
grabbing her foot.
Kimmel really lacked when she was
telling her story of what happened to her
when she was at the camp farm before as
it looked terribly phony.
A perfect shot looking up at Brooker
with his machette rising in the air.
A great shot on Brooker pointing
a speargun and ready to fire wearing the
hockey mask.
A scene where Zerner has his
throat slit and is gagging looks a bit
phony too.
Also when Rachel Howard's character
Chili discovers that Shelly is dead her
energy is very low when she tries to
notify the others.
A perfect shot on Brooker
holding onto Kratka and then
squeezing his head.
Another good camera shot looking down on
Brooker when a shelf of book is
about to come down on him.
Another good moment with Brooker
grabbing Kimmel by the throat
when she is trying to get the van going
as well as her trying to run him over and
he dodges.
We spot a shot on Brooker hung
from the barn doors with his arms
suddenly springing out which gives the
film a nice horror touch as well as Kimmel
gasping to him that he can't still
be alive and then realising who he is.
A great shot on her taking an axe and
ready to swing it.
There's a perfect dream sequence too
involving the two of them but this would
be a spolier so I won't give it out but
it was necessary and well done.
The music was
composed by Harry Manfredini and
Michael Zager the opening music
was superb and influential and a terrific
cheesy creepy edge to it making it the
best sound for any of the opening and
ending credits out of all the Friday
flicks.
Andy: God dammit,
Shelly, why do you always have to be such
an asshole?
Shelly: Sorry, and I'm not an
asshole, I'm an actor.
Andy: Same thing.
Shelly:
Is that all you're gonna do this weekend?
Smoke dope?
Chuck: Is there a law against
it?
Ali:
You son of a bitch! Come back here you
bastards! You ain't getting away with
this, God dammit!
Vera
Sanchez: Look, I'm gonna go outside
for a few minutes and then when I get
back in we'll talk.
Shelly: Yeah, sure. We'll talk...
Bitch.
Vera
Sanchez: Who are you?
[Jason points the speargun at her]
Vera Sanchez: Hey cut that out,
that's not funny!
[Jason shoots her with the speargun]
Andy:
So how do we do it
Debbie: Well first we take our
clothes off, then you get on top of me or
I can get on top of you
Andy: I know how to do it, but I
mean... How do we do it... in a hammock
Debbie: I guess we can figure
something out...
Chuck:
How come you never scream when we have
sex?
Chili: Give me something to scream
about.
Chris
Higgins: [to Jason] No! You
CAN'T be alive!
