A fresh batch of teenage camp counselors return to the ill-fated Camp Crystal Lake five years after its most recent atrocities. Since the apparent perpetrator of those crimes was decapitated by the only survivor, the plucky teens ignorantly go about the business of reviving the camp, unaware that they are being stalked by an unseen figure who lives in the woods, waiting for the right opportunity to take bloody revenge.

Reviews for Friday the 13th - Part 2
Perhaps the least interesting of all the Friday the 13th films, since it tries to be a "sequel" to the first film, referencing themes and storylines.
The new camp counselors are interchangeable with the old ones. Different faces, same basic people.
Basically only for completists looking to see Jason take center stage for the first time. [Blu-ray]
Its general competence remains a surprising improvement, albeit not one strong enough to elevate it into the realm of recommendation.
