Happy Horror-day! Friday the 13th Part II (1981)
I have been
mulling this over since reviewing the first one back in
September, which should I watch? The first one, again or the remake? Then it
dawned on me- seeing as this is the second Friday the 13th of
the year I suppose it should be the second Friday the 13th movie
really... Friday the
13th Part II was
produced and directed by Steve Miner (his directorial debut) and was written by
Ron Kurz, staring Amy Steel and John Furey. The film also features the return
of Adrienne King, Betsy Palmer and Walt Gorney from the first movie, taking
place five years later with a new murderer picking off the
camp counselors in scenes that had the Motion Picture Association of
America repulsed so much that they insisted on numerous cuts being made to
allow it an R rating. Although not as big a hit as the original, the sequel
made $21.7 million in the U.S. on a $1.2 million budget assuring there would be
a Part III the following year. Isn’t it funny this is the second time I
have set myself a movie challenge that involves Friday the 13th and
watching one isn’t enough!? If you’re not too busy/ tired join me here on the
24th for Black Christmas!
