	Movies - Friday the 13th Part 2

Friday the 13th Part 2 is a slasher film directed by Steve Miner, the first sequel to the Friday the 13th
(1980) movie. This is the first film in the series in which the famed slasher Jason Voorhees kills, whereas the killer in the first movie was in fact Jason's mother Pamela Voorhees. It was a box-office hit, grossing 21.7 million dollars in USA, compared with the estimated budget of 1 million dollars; however, the original film has generated an almost double revenue based on a similar budget.

Plot

The film begins with the only survivor of the first movie, Alice (played again by Adrienne King from Friday the 13th
), being slain. Five years later, a group of teenagers come to Crystal Lake to set up a new camp, only to get murdered one by one by a masked killer. One of the teenagers, Ginny (Amy Steel), in running away from the killer, finds a cabin in the woods whith a shrine built around the severed head of Pamela Voorhees, surrounded by mutilated corpses. Thus the killer is identified as Jason Voorhees, who never drowned in the lake but survived to see his mother murdered and then lived in the woods near Camp Crystal Lake seeking revenge. After a last attack, Ginny, the final girl of the movie, wakes up in an ambulance with no recollection of the way she escaped the killer. Thus Jason is never caught in this film, remaining in the woods near Camp Crystal Lake to wait for other unsuspecting victims.

Jason manages to kill ten people throughout the movie. However, the last victim, Paul (John Furey), is only presumed dead, as we never see the conclusion of the final attack which Ginny escapes without any memories of the events.
