I decided to watch Parts 2 and 3 back to back and post about them together… because I heard that 3 literally picks up right where 2 ends. \u00a0<\/p>\n

    Isn’t this poster awesome (image to the right)! \u00a0Thanks to\u00a0Jamie Fishback<\/a>, I now have a cheat sheet as to how each person in F13 dies. (Don’t worry, I’m not looking ahead)<\/p>\n

    \u00a0Yes, SPOILER ALERT.<\/p>\n

    Part 2 begins about 6 months after Part 1. \u00a0Alice Hardy is in her home, still trying to recover from the horrific things that she witnessed and suffered at the hands of Mrs. Voorhees. \u00a0It’s Friday the 13th again and we realize that she’s really not alone. \u00a0Someone is there. \u00a0After numerous fake-outs, she is stabbed in the temple with a meat poker… but by who? (I knew it was Jason but I suppose others didn’t at the time? Unless the trailers gave it away…) \u00a0A difference between Part 1 and 2 is that we no longer get that POV of the killer. \u00a0This time we don’t really know where or when the killer will attack.<\/p>\n

    We then find ourselves 2 years after Part 1 when the camp next to Crystal Lake is \u00a0inhabited by counselors-in-training. They are all told the story of poor Jason and the now beheaded Mrs. Voorhees and the killings while sitting around a camp fire (of course). \u00a0They are all warned about the camp next door and told not to wander into that area. Most of them listen and instead take up drinking, playing games and having sex. \u00a0The night before the camp opens, they decide to split up and half of them go out to a casino and the other half stay behind. \u00a0One couple even ventures into the “off-limits” area of the camp but return unscathed. \u00a0Then the killing begins. \u00a0Each victim is caught alone either skinny-dipping, or having sex or going to the bathroom. \u00a0I swear, going to the bathroom might be the worst thing you could do when camping up near Crystal Lake. \u00a0<\/p>\n

    The main character is Ginny Field who is sleeping with the camp supervisor. \u00a0She begins to suspect that something is up. As people go missing and show up dead, she runs into the killer, Jason Voorhees, who is back (we thought he drowned but he’s alive and living in the woods in a shack). \u00a0He’s back and angry, ready to avenge his mother’s death. \u00a0He hides his face however with a pillow case. \u00a0It makes him look like a faceless scarecrow. \u00a0<\/p>\n

    Ginny and her beau, Paul, eventually happen upon Jason’s shack in the woods and discover a shrine to his mother, complete with her disgusting decomposing head and blue cable-knit sweater (and other bodies laying about). \u00a0Ginny ingeniously decides to pose as Jason’s mother (by wearing the sweater) and it fools Jason for a little while into thinking his mother was talking to him. \u00a0I totally called it that she was going to put on the sweater though the idea of it really grossed me out. \u00a0Ginny and Paul eventually knock Jason out, cutting his shouder deep with his machete. \u00a0Ginny takes one last moment to remove the pillowcase from his head, revealing his hideously disfigured face.<\/p>\n

    When all was said and done, Jason had killed a fair share of the camp counselors. \u00a0We end the movie with Ginny being removed on a stretcher and not knowing if Paul lived or died. \u00a0Which brings us to Part 3.<\/p>\n

    Part 3 starts off with news reports that a killer is on the lose but of course no one takes this seriously. \u00a0A group of teens jump in a van and high tail it up to the lake the very next day while Ginny is being removed from the camp in an\u00a0ambulance. \u00a0These teens have tons of pot and enough sex on their brains to miss the news. \u00a0On top of it all, the main character, Chris (female), even had an incident 2 years ago with Jason! \u00a0She claims that she was found by Jason in the woods, attacked, dragged off and then woke up in her bed unharmed and her parents never mentioned it. \u00a0She hasn’t been back since. \u00a0How funny that she should choose THIS weekend of all weekends to return. \u00a0I’m confused by her story however. \u00a0My theory is that she dreamt her encounter… because why would he let her go and no one talk about it?<\/p>\n

    Anyway, as I began watching this film, I noticed shots that I would have thought would be in a 3D movie – you know, those cheesy 3D shots where something flies at the screen. \u00a0Well little did I know, it WAS a 3D movie. \u00a0Makes sense now. \u00a0Also, those amazing title graphics are just hysterical (but cutting-edge at the time, I’m sure). \u00a0<\/p>\n

    Loved the 80s Biker Gang that harasses the teens but then ends up dead before they can even wreak havoc on the camp. Also, have to love the “boy that cried wolf” moment when Shelly (male) really is dying but they think he’s just playing a prank. \u00a0Thanks to his pranks, Jason ends up with his iconic hockey mask. \u00a0I had an, “Oh wow,” moment in the beginning when the Latina character is told by a shop keeper that they don’t take food stamps. \u00a0I couldn’t imagine writing a line in a movie like that now. \u00a0But maybe that’s just me. \u00a0I don’t think it’s funny.<\/p>\n

    Overall though, I would say that I found this movie, Part 3, the scariest so far. \u00a0I think it’s because Jason finally finds his hockey mask (and maybe this image is engrained in my head) and also he seemed to move faster and no matter what happened to him, he never died. \u00a0He’s invincible. \u00a0Though, at the very end, Chris hits him in the head with an axe and he’s left laying on the ground. When the police take her away (she’s acting like a crazy person but then again, who wouldn’t after all that) we pan over and see Jason laying in the barn… I know he’s not dead but how can the police miss him? \u00a0<\/p>\n

    I loved that at the end of the night Chris gets into a canoe and floats into the lake, passing out just like Alice did in Part 1. She wakes in the morning and\u00a0hallucinates\u00a0that Jason is running toward her and then Mrs. Voorhees launches out of the lake, just like Jason did in Part 1. \u00a0It was great. \u00a0Of course she dreamt this. \u00a0Which is why I’m thinking she must have dreamt the attack from Jason 2 years prior?? \u00a0<\/p>\n

    I guess I’ll have to keep watching to find out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
