Friday the 13th Part 2
Five years after the horrible bloodbath at Camp Crystal Lake, new counselors roam the area, not sensing the ominous lurking presence that proves that the grisly legend is real.
Critics Sentiment
Jason chases Ginny through the camp and woods in an extended pursuit sequence
At the bar Ginny theorizes about Jason's psychological state if he witnessed his mother's death
The film jumps from its slowest middle section during Ginny's bar psychology discussion to the highly praised inventive kills as Jason begins his murder spree.
Friday the 13th Part 2 starts strong with Alice's stylish demise but drags through a generic middle section of character development and buildup. The film redeems itself in the final act with inventive kills, Amy Steel's standout performance as Ginny, and an adrenaline-fueled chase sequence that critics universally praised as superior to most big-budget thrillers.
