SPOILER ALERT!!!

The beginning of the movie we see Alice, the survivor of the first Friday the 13th and murderer of Mrs. Voorhee in her home after still getting nightmares from the trauma of the last film. When she goes to feed her cat she finds Mrs. Voohee's severed head in her fridge and is then stabbed in the head with an ice pick by an unknown person.

We then skip to 5 years later when a training camp is opened right next to Camp Crystal Lake and if you read my last review this is going to look VERY familiar. Each teen is picked off slowly by and unknown assailant but i guess you could say that the final fight scene was a little bit better than the one in the first movie. Okay, so by now it's pretty obvious it can't be Mrs Voohee but has been heavily implied that Jason is still roaming the woods. This time we have two last people the killer has to finish off Ginny and Paul who come in and find Jason in the corner of the room with a pillow case over his head and he attacks Paul. Not seeing what happened to Paul, Ginny goes through a rather long chase sequence with Jason and after supposedly knocking him out finds Jason's hand made shack in the woods. she runs in and finds a shrine dedicated to his mother with her jumper and severed head with two bodies either side. Hearing Jason approach rapidly she put on Mrs. Voohee's jumper and addressed Jason directly impersonating his mother which he falls for until she goes to slice his head off and he see's the head behind her but luckily Paul grabs him and she cuts into his shoulder and they run away. Once they return to the cabin they think they're safe until they hear a sound at the door. Ready to kill they open it only to find it's a small dog called muffin owned by one of the dead girls. feeling at ease and happy Ginny get's up to go towards the dog but then Jason crashes through the window (DUN DUN DUUUUUN) and grabs her. she then awakes in a bed being taken into an ambiance calling out for Paul but he is nowhere to be seen.

What's my opinion on this film? Oh i'm so glad you asked!

I think this made a very good sequal to the original movie and i liked how they used the same style of camera with the POV shots and the style of it all. It was also very obvious that they planned on making another movie after this due to the cliff hanger ending but i have a feeling when i watch the third tomorrow night

PREDICTION SPOILER

that i'll find out that Paul died saving her life. Jason got away, and Ginny is about to get killed. Just my prediction though. I certainly feel there could have been a lot more to this film but it still is a great sequel as in my experience, squeals are never as good as the real thing. 

***

I'd give this a 3/5 stars

Tomorrow's review Friday the 13th Part III

Let's also take a moment of silence for Jeff, the one i found rather attractive in this movie. Rest in fictional peace.
