Marsh X I'm quite surprised at the score of this movie from both the critics and audience, I thought this was a lot better than the first because it didn't feel like there were scenes that were dragged out too long, which I feel there was a lot of in the first movie. I was pretty entertained throughout the film and I'd say with confidence that this is better than the first one, but in saying that, you must watch a series of movies in order otherwise you don't know what's happening no matter if it's good or not. 6.5/10 Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/17/25 Full Review Miguel T Friday the 13 Part II isnt the best horror movie oit there, and while will see its weaknesses, the charm of the cast and it fast pace, will make you for forgive it. Deaths could be more elaborate, but what is true is that they hurt to the viewer. Not scary, but fun for sure. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/07/25 Full Review John R Just as good as the OG Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/14/25 Full Review E6 E A surprisingly enjoyable sequel, Friday the 13th Part 2 has a good setting and locations too, which add a nice vibe to this flick, along with it’s funny and interesting characters. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/08/25 Full Review SkyRo P "Friday the 13th Part 2," released in 1981, continues the saga that began with the original film and introduces the horror icon Jason Voorhees. However, Jason's character often feels disjointed and lacking a coherent backstory. While he begins his reign of terror at a summer camp, his journey eventually leads him to outlandish settings, including outer space, which adds to the confusion surrounding his character. One of the fundamental issues with this film—and the franchise as a whole—is the absence of a "final girl." Iconic horror films typically feature a central survivor who embodies resilience, such as Nancy with Freddy Krueger, Laurie with Michael Myers, and Sydney with Ghostface. This lack of a strong protagonist diminishes the impact of the narrative and makes it less memorable compared to its contemporaries. While Jason Voorhees has become a recognizable figure in horror, the "Friday the 13th" franchise often feels less impactful or memorable than others. The film’s continuity with the original is shaky at best, and it lacks standout moments besides the recurring theme of Jason targeting couples during intimate moments—a trope that quickly becomes predictable. Overall, "Friday the 13th Part 2" is a lackluster entry in the franchise. While it’s essential for those wanting to follow the series, it doesn’t offer a cohesive storyline or compelling character development. The film falls flat, making it difficult to engage with or revisit, especially when compared to other beloved horror classics. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/18/25 Full Review Logan R One of the best in the series. I still find this one the scariest. Good final girl in Ginny. When she arrives home from the bar that scene still gives me the creeps Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/25 Full Review Read all reviews
