3 Questions about "FRIDAY THE 13th: PART II"

1. Yes, and I thought it was as good as the first Friday.

2. Wheelchair kill

3. Terry

That's unfortunate. Ginny may be my favorite final girl. And baghead Jason is creepier than hockey mask Jason for me.

To be fair I could have been in the wrong mood that day. I mean I re-watched it a couple years ago for the first time in 20 years.

I have been known to hate a movie one day and think it was okay the next time I watched it. It Follows for example.

I was basically just bored by every single aspect of Part II last time I watched it.

Heck, being scary or funny sometimes doesn't even make a difference. I think Wolf Creek is scary but it is so been there done that imo. Watching some sadist torture and torment people for 2 hours is just a downer.

That is a good point, but slasher-wise it makes a lot of difference to me.

Jason is just such a boring slasher imo, but the hockey mask adds a humor to his presence that make it more fun.

You are talking to someone who generally has a bias against these types of slasher movies though. Halloween, Black Christmas, A Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream. That is pretty much where my like ends. There might be a few I am forgetting.

F13, 3, 4 and 7 are mildly fun. The rest suck imo.

Attempted being the key word.

He is just as uninteresting here as he is in most of the other movies imo. The ending with the shrine to his mother is laughable to me. Am I suppose to think that is scary or take it seriously on any level? Where has Jason been for the last 18 years or whatever? Was he just hanging around for all that time and just happened to come by his mother's head one day? Is he a zombie in the second movie or only in the sequels? It's just all too silly and disconnected to me. It may have helped if any of the kills or stalking scenes were actually creepy or felt like reality. they don't. A Nightmare on Elm Street has a fantastical story, but the kills are scary and disturbing and you understand Freddy's motives. The fact that Jason is some mentally challenged person makes it way less effective. These movies all lack suspense or a curiosity of what will happen next.

Don't even get me started on how dull I find most of the protagonists in this franchise. Sure, the main female in Part 2 is more resourceful and smarter than the usual, but I still don't care about her survival because I don't care for anything else about her character.

In the better slasher movies they have likable characters that I want to see win against the villain that are dealing with situations in a realistic feeling and dramatically effective way. 

Initially he survived the drowning and had been living in the woods, reemerging after his mother's decapitation and not officially becoming a zombie until 6*.

It's pretty nonsensical, but hey, that's why I said I have trouble rating these movies. On an objective level, that's the most bullshit retcon excuse for a sequel in film history and raises several questions. But I enjoy the movie for what it is, mommy head shrine included.

*Some of the later, later sequels (notably 8) seem to imply he actually did die as a kid, so I guess now it's ambiguous? The continuity is a dumpster fire.

1. Mild yes.

2. The scene where Ginny stumbles across Jason's shack.

3. Jason Vorhees.

Yes

Wheelchair kill

Vickie or Ted
