Friday the 13th remake 2009-Part 3

***












Going to Camp Crystal Lake to swim isn't a great idea..."Friday the 13th", (2009).
***
As the movie progresses, the other campers make out, and are killed off: Richie, (Ben Feldman); Lawrence, (Arlen Escarpeta); Nolan, (Ryan Hansen); and Chelsea, (Willa Ford). In short, as darkness falls, Clay and Jenna sees an abandoned house in the woods, (mirroring the shelter house from Steve Miner's "Friday the 13th Part II", ), (1981). Inside, they see a child's bed with the words: JASON written on it, in amongst the ruins.
     The rest of the movie is about how they escape from Jason's grasp, that leads to Clay finding his sister...and the fight with the killer.

Pamela Voorhees, (Nana Visitor), blames the female camp counsellor for her son, Jason's drowning. But did he survive?..."Friday the 13th", (2009).

***
The movie then cuts to earlier on when Trent and his friends head to the Gas Station to get supplies. They meet Clay Miller, (Supernatural's Jared Padalecki), who wants to know about the mysterious disappearance of his sister Whitney, (Amanda Righetti). Only Jenna sees the flyers he's handing out; he takes a liking to her. When Clay heads to Camp Crystal Lake, he knocks on the front door of Trent's house, (to his anger). Jenna, (who shows more compassion than Trent does), hops onto Clay's motorcycle, and they explore the campgrounds together.

Clay finds out that Camp Crystal Lake is dangerous..."Friday the 13th", (2009)/

Friday the 13th (2009) remake ***.

***

Scene from Marcus Nispel's 2009 re-make of "Friday the 13th".
***
From the 1960's "Psycho", (Alfred Hitchcock), (and its sequels), to the hooded phantom in "The Town that Dreaded Sundown", (Charles B. Pierce, 1976), in the 1970's, (that was recently re-made in 2016), certain horror movies re-create the tension of the original horror movie. "Friday the 13th" was back after the success of Nispel's "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", (2003), with Jessica Biel. He worked with producer Sean S. Cunningham to breathe new life in Jason Voorhees.
***

Danielle Panabaker is a strong female lead in "Friday the 13th", (2009).
***
The movie begins with a female camper being attacked by Pamela Sue Voorhees, (Nana Visitor), who blames her for the drowning of her son, Jason Voorhees. After she dies, Jason, (Derek Mears), picks up and abandoned white hockey mask, and puts it on, then heads back to Camp Crystal Lake to get revenge.
***
The film's titles begin.
***

Jason Voorhees, (Derek Mears), wears a hockey mask...Marcus Nispel's "Friday the 13th", (2009).
***

A group of rich teenagers lead by Trent, (Travis Van Winkle); Jenna, (Danielle Panabaker); Chewie, (Aaron Yoo); Wade, (Jonathan Sadowski); and Bree, (Julianna Guill), who are vacationing at Trent's holiday house near Camp Crystal Lake. Like before, they indulge in making out, doing drugs, and other behaviour to rile up Jason Voorhees, that leads to their deaths.

Freddy versus Jason (2003)*.

***
It was inevitable that there would be a fight between Freddy and Jason. Directed by Ronny Yu, the movie pits the horror legends against each other. While the usual teenagers of Elm Street and Camp Crystal Lake, are terrorized by them, crowds flocked to the movie. The 1990's ended with Freddy's Dead: The Final Friday, and Wes Craven's "Scream" movies, the 00's was full of blending horror franchises, with dire results, like "New Nightmare", (Wes Craven, 1994).
***

Scene from "Freddy versus Jason", (2003). The director, Ronny Yu, directed the 1988 horror movie, "Bless this haunted house".

Jason X (2002)-Part 2

***
Writer Todd Farmer, Harry Manfredini, and Sean S. Cunningham, and his son, (who also produces the film), try to change things around. In all, "Jason X", wasn't the last "Friday the 13th" movie.

Jason X (2002)***.

***

Scene from "Jason X", (directed by Jim Issac), in which Crystal Lake's most famous killer Jason Voorhees, (Kane Hodder), leaves home to kill people in Outer Space....
***
Firstly, I saw this film in the Melbourne cinema in 2002. I'd watched the previous "Friday the 13th" movies thinking that The End meant The End. "Jason X", is the "Alien", (Ridley Scott, 1979), of horror movies. Or, it supposed to be. In the near future, Jason Voorhees is in a cryogenic sleep with another woman in the near future. When a doctor, (David Cronenberg), and others suffer at the hands of the killer, he is killed off in an accident. He then wears a futuristic mask...and begins to cause more deaths to occur...there is even a time machine that goes back in time to Camp Crystal Lake in 1980, in which Jason Voorhees kills some campers...The plot line crashes because Jason's mother, Pamela Sue Voorhees is the killer in Sean S. Cunningham's 1980 classic.
***

Jason goes to Hell-the Final Friday (1993)-Part 2

***

The movie's hero is Steven Freeman, (John D. Lemay), who protects his girlfriend Jessica Kimble, (Kari Keegan), as he meets a African-American bounty hunter Creighton Duke, (Steven Williams). As the movie progresses, the high cost of killing Jason Voorhees and sending him to Hell is remote...until certain events bring them together...to end the horror.

Jason (Kane Hodder), is sent to hell at the finale of "Jason goes to Hell: The Final Friday", (1993). But it wasn't The End of the horror franchise.
***

Jason goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993)***.

***


After a long four year break, Jason Voorhees, (Kane Hodder), returns home to Camp Crystal Lake thanks to producer Sean S. Cunningham, different writers, and director Adam Marcus, to reclaim his throne as "The King of Horror", "Jason goes to Hell: The Final Friday", (1993).
***
The film begins with Jason Voorhees being hunted by the FBI who track him down at the campgrounds, and shoot him dead in a hail of gunfire. As his body 'dies', everyone in town thinks the terror is over. In a move that's similar to the 1987 science fiction thriller 'The Hidden', (Jack Sholder), "A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge"; "Alone in the Dark", 1982; and editor of "The Burning", (Tony Maylam, 1981), Jason 'body hops', through various people, until he returns from the dead.
***

The new campers arrive at Camp Crystal Lake thinking Jason's dead: Josh, (Andrew Bloch); Ward, (Adam Cranner); Joey B. (Rusty Schwimmer); and Vickie, (Allison Smith). Like in the early "Friday the 13th" movies, they make out, and have fun. But, as they do so, Jason attacks them...and the horror resumes.
***


The New York campers aren't prepared for Cropsy the garden shears killing murderer...(Tony Maylam's The Burning, 1981)-the movie that launched Miramax. After the success of "Friday the 13th", Sean S. Cunningham, 1980), there were other clones...especially 'Madman', Joe Giannone, 1982...and other camp-themed horror movies.
***

In the early 1980's, campfire horror movies was the norm. By the 1990's, a decade later, teenagers were now in their twenties, and had grown up. Scene from "Madman", (filmed in 1980, 1981, but wasn't released until 1982 because of "The Burning", 1981).

Friday the 13th Part VIII-Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)-Part 2

***
"Friday the 13th Part VIII" resumes with a red haired teenager called Rennie Wickham, (Jensen Daggett), who has an annoying mother. When she boards the ship with Charles McCulloch, and Colleen Van Deusen, (Barbara Bingham), and the campers, they think they're safe. When Jason kills people on board, the survivors jump off the ship, and head towards New York. In the City that never sleeps, Rennie, and the other people, are subjected to gangs. In the end, Rennie and her boyfriend, as well as her dog!, battle Jason in various places...until he resorts to a child that's drowning in the city's sewerage system.
***
The failure of Part VIII caused the makers to not make another sequel for four years.

Friday the 13th Part VIII-Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)*.

***
As the 1980's came to and end, the fickle nature of horror sequels almost died at the Box Office. By 1989, there was Dominique Othenin-Girard's "Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers", (only released on VHS in Australia); and "A nightmare on Elm Street Part 5: The Dream Child", (directed by Stephen Hopkins). Writer/director Rob Hedden decided that Jason Voorhees, (Kane Hodder), would go on a cruise ship to Manhattan, New York, to attack more teenagers...and counsellors. For me, Part VIII is weaker than Part V, (that's because it isn't set in Camp Crystal Lake).
***
The Shape, (Don Shanks), continues to attack his niece Jamie Lloyd, (Danielle Harris), from Part 4. Dominique Othenin-Girard's "Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers", as Doctor Sam Loomis, (Donald Pleasance), struggles to stop the killer. The movie is scarier than "Friday the 13th Part VIII"...only just.
***
Part VIII begins with Jim Miller, (Todd Shaffer), who tells his girlfriend Suzi Donaldson, (Tiffany Paulsen), about Jason Voorhees. When Jason comes back from the dead and attacks them on a boat, he then hops aboard a ship bound for New York that's full of teenagers and their teachers. It is the longest "Friday the 13th" movie at 100 minutes, (but that doesn't mean that it's easily watchable in case you're bored easily).
***

Doctor Sam Loomis attempts to convince The Shape to stop attacking people to no avail..."Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers", (1989).

Friday the 13th Part VII-The New Blood (1988)-Part 2

***

Scene from Dwight H. Little's "Halloween 4: The Revenge of Michael Myers", 1988, which The Shape, (George Wilbur), comes back from a long coma, and returns home to Haddonfield, Illinois. In 1988,  horror fans were grateful for another Halloween sequel; while, on Elm Street, Freddy Krueger returned for the fourth movie in the series directed by Renny Harlin called "The Dream Master"...while the MPAA cut out a lot of the violence to Friday the 13th Part VII, mirroring the savage cuts to Steve Miner's "Friday the 13th Part II", (1981), seven year's before....
***
Part VII continues when there's a flashback of a young Tina, (Jennifer Banko), being scared by her father John, (John Ortin), who tells her she shouldn't be afraid of the water. As Tina grows up, she is sick of being told what to do, and rebels. Back to the present, (1988), and Tina uses her powers to fight off Jason. By that year the hockey masked killer is now a zombie. In the end of the movie, Tina escapes Camp Crystal Lake, while her enemies die.

Friday the 13th Part VII-The New Blood (1988)****.

***

In 1986, there was Fred Walton's "April Fool's Day", starring Amy Steel from Steve Miner's "Friday the 13th Part II", (1981); Walton's debut movie, "When a stranger calls", (1979), starring Carole Kane, and Charles Durning, were about a killer on the loose on an Island doing pranks; while "Stranger", was about a babysitter who is terrorized by a killer inside the house...that is similar to the 1974 Canadian horror movie, "Black Christmas", that starred Margot Kidder...In 1987, there was Joel Schumacher's "The Lost Boys", (another teen vampire movie which wouldn't be made unless "Fright Night", was successful).
***

Muffy St. John, (Deborah Foreman), attacks Kit, (Amy Steel-Friday the 13th Part II, 1981), with a knife in Fred Walton's "April Fool's Day", 1986.
***

Neil Gordon, (Craig Wasson), battles a skeleton in the junk yard in "A nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors", (Chuck Russell, 1987). With no return of Michael Myers, horror fans flocked to see more of Nancy Thompson, (Heather Lagenkamp), as she battles Freddy Krueger, (Robert Englund", which marked the return of Wes Craven who helped on the second sequel after Part 2's failure in 1985, two year's before.
***
"Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood", written by Daryl Haney and Miguel Fidello, is described as "Jason versus Carrie", a reference to Stephen King's 1974 novel, (and Brian De Palma's 1976 horror movie that starred Sissy Spacek); Part VII was released only on VHS in Australia. Directed by John Carl Buechler, is begins with a girl named Tina Shepard, (Lar Park Lincoln), who is being treated by Doctor Crews, (Terry Kiser), as her mother, Amanda Shepard, (Susan Blu), wants her daughter to be well as she uses her powers in a safe environment. After a bad argument, she uses them to revive Jason Voorhees, (Kane Hodder), and he attacks her. He then heads to Camp Crystal Lake, as a new group of campers arrive on Friday the 13th like everyone else does...unaware of the imminent danger they're in.

The new camp counsellors from Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood, are: Nick, (Kevin Blair); Melissa, (Susan Jennifer Sullivan)-who loves Nick; Sandra, (Heidi Kozak); Michael, (William Butler); Jane, (Staci Greason); Russell, (Larry Cox); Eddie, (Jeff Bennett); Maddy, (Diana Barrows); and Robin, (Kaitan). As all of them indulge in making out in the woods, Melissa hosts a party. Nick sees Tina, and invites her to enjoy herself...as Jason Voorhees continues killing off the campers, as night falls on Camp Crystal Lake.

Friday the 13th Part VI-Jason Lives (1986)-Part II

***
Cort talks to the young campers, while Megan and Sissy, deal with the management of the camp. Meanwhile, a group of men are playing paint ball in the woods. Suddenly they lose the game as a woman smiles at them. Seconds later, they're killed by Jason...and the horror of Friday the 13th claims more victims.
***
Meanwhile, a girl named Tina, (Temi Epstein), sees Jason Voorhees lurking around the cabins. She is scared. Sissy comforts her, and tells her to close her eyes and the "Nightmare Man", will go away. As she does so, she and the campers think they're safe from danger. In the end, Tommy fights Jason, but not until Megan rescues him from jail, and leaves the Sheriff and the other police officers to battle the killer. Tommy and Jason battle on the lake, as it's set on fire...and the other campers are dead as well. Jason then drowns in the deep water with a huge silvery chain around his body, as he floats there...leaving the viewer to think he's dead.

Friday the 13th Part VI Jason Lives (1986)***.

***
Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives, (1986), written and directed by Tom  McLouglin, was released on VHS in Australia, (and wasn't released at the cinemas). After the failure of Part V, (1985), the sequel begins with Tommy Jarvis, (Thom Mathews), and his friend Allen Hawes, (Ron Palillo), who attempt to dig up the grave of Jason Voorhees, (C J Graham). During a violent storm of lightning hits Jason's body, he returns from the dead. After he opens his eyes, he kills Allen...grabs his machete in his hands...and attempts to kill Tommy. Tommy flees in horror. In the morning he rushes into the police station and warns Sheriff Garris, (David Kagan), and Deputy Rick Cologne, (Vincent Guataferro), about Jason Voorhees' return. Sadly for Tommy, Camp Crystal Lake is changed to "Camp Forest Green", to ward off people who are interested in the murders in the past. In the end, the Sheriff orders Tommy to go into the jail cells to 'cool off'.
***

Cut to a new group of campers who arrive at the police station: Megan, (Jennifer Cooke), the Sheriff's daughter; Sissy, (Renee Jones), a African-American teenage friend of Megan; Cort, (Tom Fridley); and Nikki, (Darcy DeMoss). When Tommy warns them about Jason, Megan takes a shine to him. They then head to Camp Crystal Lake waiting for the head counsellors, Darren, (Tony Goldwyn); and his girlfriend, Lisabeth, (Nancy McLoughlin). At night time, they see Jason Voorhees on the road. When they're killed, the other campers are left alone to deal with a group of other campers.

***

Scene from Fright Night, (1985): Charley Brewster, (William Ragsdale), sees something is wrong about the house across the road, and thinks the owner Jerry, (Chris Sarandon), is a vampire. The movie was a horror hit, and spawned a sequel, and remakes...And made more money than Friday the 13th Part V A New Beginning; and A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge.
***
Meanwhile, two campers are killed, the movie moves to town in which Billy is doing drugs. He is on a date with Lana, (Rebecca Wood-Sharkey). When they're killed "Jason Voorhees", attacks everyone at the campgrounds...as Tommy is blamed for the murders.
***
In the end, Tommy battles "Jason Voorhees", in the old barn. Spoiler: The killer is Roy. He blames everyone for the death of Joey, as Tommy, Pam, and Reggie, survive.

Friday the 13th Part V A New Beginning (1985)***.

***

Friday the 13th Part IV The Final Chapter, (1984), was supposed to be the End of the series with Jason killed by Tommy Jarvis. But, to everyone's surprise, writers David Cohen, Danny Steinmann, (who also directed), and Martin Kitrosser, continued the franchise. This time Tommy Jarvis, (Corey Feldman), watches a group of teenagers heading towards the cemetery where Jason Voorhees is buried. When Jason attacks them from the grave, Tommy, who was getting therapy, flees in horror...and the movie begins yet again.
***
The movie cuts to several years' later, when an older Tommy Jarvis, (John Shepard), is taken to Pinehurst Mental Health facility, (a camp for teenagers), owned by Matt, (Richard Young), and Pam, (Melanie Kinnaman); Tommy is forced out of the van by Billy, (Bob De Simone). Once the van leaves, they try to get Tommy to feel better when he relates to other campers: Vinnie, (Anthony Barrile); Joey, (Dominick Brascia)-the overweight teen who loves eating chocolate; Robin, (Juliette Cummins); Violet, (Tiffany Helm); and Neil, (Todd Bryant)-who stutters; Duke, (Caskey Swaim); and Tina, (Debisue Voorhees). With them are Reggie, (Shavar Ross); and his Grandfather George, (Vernon Washington), are characters who live and die during the movie.
***
The horror begins with Joey irritating the girls. Then he is killed by Victor, (Mark Venturini). In the end, he is taken away by Sheriff Cal Tucker, (Marco St. John), and the Second Deputy, (Ed Shinstine). One of the ambulance man named Roy, (Dick Wiend), is related to Joey. He then hides his anger...and vanishes, as the Third Deputy, (Chuck Wells), deals with the death. Like the previous Friday the 13th movies, a woman named Ethel, (Carol Locatell), and her son Junior, (Ron Sloan), appear to tell the Sheriff that some of the campers are making out in the woods. After he stresses that they would be dealt with, two of the campers get out of the Sheriff's car...and they know they're in deep trouble.
***
In 1985, there were other horror movies: Tom Holland's "Fright Night", (a teen vampire movie); and "A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge", (Jack Sholder). The two movies were hits; Friday the 13th Part V A New Beginning was considered weak when it is shown against the other horror movies.
***

Scene from A nightmare on Elm Street Part 2 Freddy's Revenge, as Freddy gets revenge by possessing Jessie Walsh, (Mark Patton). Both movies suffered from bad reviews upon their release.

Friday the 13th The Final Chapter (1984)-Part 3

***

Scene from Joseph Zito's 1981 horror classic "The Prowler", aka "Rosemary's killer", in which a revenge seeking GI goes mad after his girlfriend, Rosemary, rejects him by letter in 1945, (before the Age of E-mail). Tom Savini did the special effects on the movie, as the director got the directing job on "Final Chapter", after the success of the previous movie.
***
As the campers are attacked by Jason, Trish and Tommy meet Rob, (E. Erich Anderson), who is seeking revenge on Jason for the death of his sister Sandra and her boyfriend Jeff, (from Steve Miner's Friday the 13th Part II, 1981); Rob fixes Trish's car, as he sees Tommy's bedroom is full of scary effects in his bedroom. With no father as a role model, he is free to indulge in his love of all things horror. When Trish stumbles on Rob's tent, she sees newspaper clippings of Camp Crystal Lake, and of the hockey masked killer Jason Voorhees.
***

Scene from "Hell Night", with Peter Barton and The Exorcist 1973 actress Linda Blair, in which a group of pledges stay the night at Garth Manor, where a monster lurks inside...Barton would later star in "Friday the 13th The Final Chapter", as Doug.
***
Like in the previous three "Friday the 13th" movies, the rules of horror apply years before Wes Craven's "Scream", 1996, was released. No drugs; no sex; no saying "I'll come back"...In short, you never do because you'll die.
***

Tina Grey, (Amanda Wyss), dreams of the old boiler room where she 'sees'  Fred Krueger...Wes Craven's "A nightmare on Elm Street", (1984); the use of dreams in the "Elm Street" movies differentiates itself from "Friday the 13th", because the latter uses flashbacks.
***
The teenage campers are attacked by Jason Voorhees. Afterwards, he focuses on The Jarvis Family, which culminates in the suspenseful last half an hour.
***

Scene from "Friday the 13th The Final Chapter", 1984. Tommy Jarvis, (a young Corey Feldman), talks to his mother in their house, that's near Camp Crystal Lake.
***
At night time, Tommy and Trish's mother is killed off-screen in the heavy rain outside. The movie ends with Jason smashing through one of the windows, and scarring Tommy forever causing him to have mental health issues. Trish hears him grab a machete and screaming: "Die! Die! Die!". And he is then taken away to be assessed by the doctors.

As Ted makes jokes, they settle down at the Camp Crystal Lake campgrounds. The camp is near The Jarvis House. Twelve year old Tommy Jarvis, (Corey Feldman), is obsessed with horror movies. His eighteen year old sister Trish, (Kimberley Beck), and their mother, Sara, (Barbara Howard), is newly divorced from her husband. When they meet the campers, Tommy smiles at them as they're swimming in the cold lake. Meanwhile, Jason Voorhees, (Ted White), is taken to the Crystal Lake morgue.

Friday the 13th The Final Chapter (1984)****.

***

Firstly, there was no "Friday the 13th" horror movie in 1983, since Sean S. Cunningham and Harry Manfredini worked on the comedy movie 'Spring Break', breaking the sequence of sequels. By 1984, Wes Craven wrote and directed the fantasy horror hybrid classic 'A nightmare on Elm Street', (which was about a dream killer named Fred Krueger), (Robert England, Dead and Buried, 1981-directed by Gary A. Sherman); secondly, there wasn't any 'Halloween' sequels until 1988, so in the 1980's it was Freddy versus Jason. In that year writers Bruce Hidemi Sakow and Barney Cohen, decided to end the horror of Jason Voorhees, even Tom Savini came back for Part IV. With Frank Mancuso, Jr serving as producer again, and Harry Manfedini returning for the music score, "The Final Chapter", was said as The End of the saga...
***

In Part III Jason Voorhees, (Richard Brooker), was fatally injured in the old barn at Crystal Lake. Part IV has two minutes of flashbacks of Paul Holt, (John Furey), telling the campers from Part II, (1981), how bad Jason Voorhees was, and his mother, Pamela Sue Voorhees, (Betsy Palmer). And the scenes from the first three movies. Then the movie's credits begin on the screen.

Friday the 13th Part III-Part II

***

The trouble begins with Loco, Fox, and Ali heading to the camp to get revenge. As Ali siphons off the gas from Rick's van, Fox jumps the fence, and heads to the old barn. Loco yells after her. Then, as Fox is nearly killed by a pitchfork, she swings from the long rope. She then disappears much to Loco's anger. Suddenly Jason Voorhees, (Richard Brooker), who steals a white hockey mask from Shelly's suitcase, attacks him, after he sees Fox's body. After their deaths, Ali heads to the barn, and is almost killed by Jason.
***
Meanwhile, Andy and Debbie make out in the hammock. When they die at the hands of Jason, Shelly attempts to befriend Vera. When she dismisses him, he wears a swimsuit and scares her with a harpoon. In the end, Shelly is attacked by Jason, leaving her alone. Vera also dies, leaving Chuck, Chilli, Rick, and Chris alone. During a romantic walk in the woods, Chris tells Rick about the night of their date two years' ago, (this would be in 1980, where she wasn't part of the original campers that Steve Christy hired)-in which she was attacked by a scary man as she slept by the tree. She had a fight with her parents, and stayed the night outside. Rick comforts her. Suddenly the van's power runs low. "We'll have to take a shortcut", he says. As they head back to camp, he is concerned by the eerie silence. He smells burning food. When he grabs a flashlight, Chris finds her friends are dead. She screams, as Rick is attacked by Jason.
     The final part of the movie is about Chris fighting Jason. As Jason takes off the hockey mask, she recognises the killer as the one who almost killed her before. Chris hurts Jason's leg. Then her coat rips. She falls out of the window, and hobbles towards her car. When she sees Jason walking away, and smashes the glass, she shivers with horror. Jason appears through the window. Chris screams, then she watches him disappear. She then heads into a canoe where she is attacked by Pamela Sue Voorhees, (Marilyn Poucher), in a dream sequence. She is rescued by two State Troopers, (Terence McCorry and Charlie Messenger), as she becomes insane in the police van. The movie ends with a picture of Pamela Sue Voorhees, setting up for yet another sequel.

Friday the 13th Part III 3-D 1982****.

***
After the success of Friday the 13th Part II, (in which producer and director Steve Miner, who worked on the last two horror movies, directed the third movie in 3-D; Frank Mancuso, Jr., served as the producer), the third movie also has Harry Manfredini composing the music, as the movie begins with flashbacks from Part II until the Part III begins...
***
Part III starts in the town of Crystal Lake where a couple, Edna, (Cheri Maugans), who is a house wife, and her husband Harold, (Steve Susskind). Harold is overweight, and gets on her nerves. On TV, she hears the newscaster, (Steve Miner), tell off the previous attacks by Jason Voorhees. When they fall victim to Jason, he heads off to Camp Crystal Lake.
***

Cut to a group of campers who see the police carrying the bodies of the previous victims. Chris, (Dana Kimmell), Debbie, (Tracie Savage)-who's pregnant, her boyfriend Andy, (Jeffrey Rogers), Shelly, (Larry Zerner)-the actor/prankster, and Vera, (Catherine Parks), whose mother, Mrs. Sanchez, (Perla Walter), doesn't want her daughter to go there, and two twenty year old hippies, Chuck, (David Katims), and Chilli, (Rachel Howard), who like to smoke dope. Chris is driving to Higgins Haven, (near Camp Crystal Lake), and attempts to get over an attack two years' ago, which drives a wedge between her and her boyfriend Rick, (Paul Kratka).
***
The writers this time are Martin Kitrosser and Carol Watson. 3-D movies were popular in the 1950's; by the 1980's, there were other horror movies in the decade: Jaws 3-D, (Joe Alves, 1982); Amityville 3-D, (Richard Fleischer, 1983), that had killer sharks, to haunted houses. Friday the 13th Part III had snakes, baseball bats, a clothes line, and so on, to create suspense. As the campers enjoy themselves, Shelly continues the pranking theme by pretending to be 'dead', which further alienates himself. He then gets a ride with Vera in Rick's van, and head into town to get food and supplies. As they did so, they meet a small group of bikers, led by Ali, (Nick Savage); Fox, (Gloria Charles); and Loco, (Kevin O' Brien). After their altercation, Shelly drives over the bikers' motorcycles, that leads to Ali smashing the glass of the van with his knuckle dusters. Shelly then drives back to the camp. When Rick gets angry, he wonders what kind of friends Chris has.

Earlier on, the campers meet Abel, (David Wiley), an old man who takes over from  Crazy Ralph, as the bringer of doom. When they leave him, the horror starts once more.

Friday the 13th Part II-Part IV

***


Friday the 13th Part II was released a year after Sean S. Cunningham's original movie, that set it apart from its rival horror movie series 'Halloween', 1978, (directed by John Carpenter), which was about Michael Myers, the masked killer. By 1981, 'Halloween II', (directed by Rick Rosenthal), was set in a hospital; the first 'Friday the 13th' sequel was set at a camp. The last part of the movie is about Ginny pondering about Jason Voorhees. Paul shakes his head; Ted then sees a waitress he likes and spends the night with her while Paul and Ginny drive back to the counsellor training camp.
***
The camp is in darkness.
Ginny senses someone is there.
When Paul is attacked by Jason, he collapses to the ground, leaving Ginny alone to fight Jason. She runs away from the camp, and sees the old shack in which she sees the altar to Pamela Sue Voorhees, (Betsy Palmer); she then sees Jason running towards her. As he grabs a weapon in his hands, she uses her psychology skills to pretend to be the killer's mother. But, when he 'sees' his real mother, he injures Ginny. She then brings a machete downward, knocking him unconscious. Paul recovers. He shouts: "Ginny!", and he removes the white sack with his hands, and adds: "Jesus!". Before they leave, Jason, (this time played by Warrington Gillette), attacks Ginny as she's near the window in the 'jump scare' for the viewer. She picks up a pitch fork in her hands, as Paul opens the door...and Muffin the dog is found alive.
***
'Friday the 13th Part II' ends with the disappearance of Paul, as Ginny is taken to Crystal Lake Hospital. Then we see Pamela Sue Voorhees on the altar, setting up for yet another sequel.

Friday the 13th Part II-Part III

***


Paul Holt, (John Furey), is the twenty-five year old head camp counsellor. Holt, who was friends with Steve Christy, (Peter Brouwer), plays at the legend of Jason Voorhees and his dead mother, Pamela, during the epic re-telling during the campfire, early on in the movie. Ginny, (a psychology major), scoffs at the story, as Ted provides the scares as he wears a Native American dress, and holding a spear...which is stolen by Jason Voorhees unknown to everyone else who stays on at the camp...
***
Sandra convinces Jeff to head to Camp Crystal Lake, ignoring the warnings by Paul Holt, whose girlfriend, Ginny, heads to the camp in her own car. After a comedic scene in which the exhaust pipe shoots muck in Paul's face, the levity in the movie ends...and the terror starts all over again. Sandra sees a dead dog in the woods. Seconds later a Crystal Lake police officer, (Jack Marks), tells them off for trespassing. When he tells Paul and Ginny, they give them a warning. The officer then sees a figure running in the woods. He runs as fast as he can through the puddles. And sharp branches. Then he sees a dilapidated iron shack. He then opens the door, and searches the home of Pamela and Jason Voorhees. Jason then attacks him, and he dies instantly.
***


***
The other campers are Mark, (Tom McBride)-who is in a wheelchair; Vickie, (Lauren-Marie Taylor); Scott, (Russell Todd); and Terry, (Kirsten Baker), who has a pet dog named Muffin. Like the first movie, Scott plays pranks at the campgrounds, while Muffin has an encounter with Jason Voorhees-then disappears until near the end of the movie. Mirroring the first movie in which Steve Christy went to town to get supplies in town and eating dinner at the Diner, Paul, Ginny, and Ted, head to town and have dinner and listen to a blues band...while the campers are stalked by Jason Voorhees. When Crazy Ralph is attacked by Jason, (after seeing Paul and Ginny kiss earlier on in the film), Jason who is wearing a sack on his head, kills Jeff and Sandra as they make out. Then Mark is attacked after he waits for Vickie. It is Vickie who opens the door and sees her friends dead. Jason kills her, and the horror of Friday the 13th claims more victims.

Friday the 13th Part II-Part 2

***


Part II begins with teenagers Jeff, (Bill Randolph), and his girlfriend Sandra, (Marta Kober), in town. They're meeting up with red haired camper, Ted, (Stu Charno), for the weekend at the counsellors training camp. As Bill uses the telephone, they meet Crazy Ralph, (Walt Gorney), who rides his famous bicycle. He says: "I warned the others...they didn't believe in me...you're doomed; you're doomed". Bill shakes his head, as Sandra blinks her eyes in disbelief. Jeff asks for directions to The Dairy Queen. Suddenly a man steals his van, and drives it uphill in a prank that happens in every Friday the 13th sequels, (and other 1980's horror movies); Ted laughs. Jeff smiles, as Ted waves at the man. In the end, the three campers head in the van to the camp. Suddenly there is a huge log the road. When Jeff and Ted get out, and drag the obstruction into the deep ditch to their right, Sandra explores the campgrounds. When she sees a sign that reads: CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE, Ted says: "Camp Blood...You don't want to hear it while you have lunch". Jeff and Sandra nod to each other, while they arrive at the camp, as they meet the other campers.

Friday the 13th Part II (1981)****.

The timeline in the "Friday the 13th" movies is awkward for the viewer. After screenwriter Victor Miller wrote the original movie, Ron Kurz took over the writing of the sequel a year later. The lengthy prologue which runs twelve minutes long, (the longest in horror cinema), re-introduces Alice Hardy, (Adrienne King), several months later. Hardy, who is suffering from nightmares from her experience at Camp Crystal Lake, struggles to get rid of the effects of her attack by Jason Voorhees, (Ari Lehman), and his insane mother, Pamela Sue Voorhees, (Betsy Palmer). A little girl jumps in a deep puddle, as a stalker-a grown up Jason Voorhees-(Steve Dash)-enters Alice's house through an open door. She then hears a noise which turns out to be a cat that jumps through a window. She opens the fridge door, and sees Pamela Voorhees's body. She screams. Earlier she calls her mother. She tells her that she's trying to move on with her life, and drawing as well. The phone rings, and she hears breathing.
      Alice then hears a noise.
Then she is attacked with an ice pick by Jason Voorhees, as the movie begins.

"I warned the others...they didn't believe me...you're doomed!", Walt Gorney as Crazy Ralph...
***

Friday the 13th Part II (1981), written by Ron Kurz taking over from Victor Miller, begins with a long twelve minute prologue in which Alice Hardy, (Adrienne King), is still struggling with her ordeal in the first movie. As she dreams of the flashbacks, a little girl skips in a deep puddle saying: "Incy wincy spider...", as Jason Voorhees, (Steve Dash), who is grown up, somehow finds her house near Camp Crystal Lake; Jason then heads through an open back door. Alice then sees a cat that jumps at her through an open window; the cat is one scare in a busy ten minutes or so. She hears her telephone ring; she tells her mother she's trying to repair herself while she draws...and experiences flashbacks of Camp Crystal Lake.
     Alice is then seen in the kitchen. She then is attacked by Jason with an ice pick...and the horror of the sequel begins on the screen.
***

The movie then cuts to "FIVE YEARS LATER"...It seems the events of the previous movie would be set in 1976; Sean S. Cunningham's movie is set in 1979 to early 1980! Director and Producer Steve Miner made his directing debut with "Friday the 13th Part II)...Miner directed the Hospital scene at the end of "Friday the 13th"...The sequel begins with a teenage couple Jeff, (Bill Randolph), and his girlfriend Sandra, (Marta Kober), whose van is in the middle of town. As Jeff makes a phone call in the phone booth, (this is before I-phones and the Internet), a man drags the vehicle up the road in a prank; Jeff stops the call. Suddenly Ted, (Stu Charno), a red haired teenager laughs. Then the campers stop when they see a large log that hinders them in the middle of the road. Jeff and Sandra had earlier met Crazy Ralph, (Walt Gorney), who warns them they're doomed. He then rides his old bike around the corner...and away from the screen.

Friday the 13th (1980) Part V

***
As a storm begins to rage at Camp Crystal Lake, Jack and Marcie make out on the bunk. Suddenly they fall victim to the killer, (thanks to the special effects by Tom Savini). Thunder booms in the night sky, as heavy rain lashes the camp. Brenda, who is reading a book, hears a child's voice saying: "Help me! Help me!"; she grabs her rain coat, and is attacked near the archery range off-screen. Alice meanwhile falls peacefully asleep on the couch...as the horror of Friday the 13th's second half begins in earnest.
***


***
The movie then cuts to The Crystal Lake Diner, where Steve Christy pays for his dinner, as a middle-aged waitress called Sandy, smiles at him. When he leaves, his jeep breaks down. Hoping to get it in the morning, Christy gets a lift back to Camp Crystal Lake thanks to the Sheriff. "Bad things always happen on Friday the 13th", he said. Christy is told of Crazy Ralph lurking around the campgrounds; he sighs in frustration, then he is drops him off near the camp, as he attends an emergency. Christy walks up the dirt road towards the CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE, EST. 1935 sign. Then there's a flashlight comes into his face. "Hello...oh, it's you...", he says to the killer. When he is attacked off-screen, Alice and Bill is left to defend themselves in the darkness.
***

***
Alice and Bill search the camp.
She then finds an axe on the bunks.
"What's going on?", she asks.
Bill then goes away to find out what's happening. He is then attacked off-screen leaving Alice alone with the killer. She then barricades herself; she makes plans as she sees a bright light of another jeep's lights outside the camp. Alice screams: "They're all dead! They're all dead!"...then she sees not Steve Christy who is late coming back to the camp, but a middle-aged woman who is wearing a blue sweater, blue jeans, and boots on her feet...Pamela Sue Voorhees, Jason's mother.
***

***
Mrs. Voorhees who is forty-nine, isn't scared of the danger.
She strides forward, sees the campers, and speaks. "I'm Pamela Voorhees. I was the camp cook when those campers were attacked. They ignored my son Jason. He wasn't a good swimmer". And she trailed off, while Alice sees her grabbing a huge butcher knife. Alice grabbed a black frying pan and hits the killer on the head. She hides in one of the cabins. She then flees towards the beach. And, in a last fight, Alice attacks Pamela Sue Voorhees...and the horror ends. Or is it?...
***I

Friday the 13th ends Alice grabbing a canoe, and boarding it in the middle of Camp Crystal Lake. She then falls asleep...dreaming of survival. In a 'jump scare', Jason Voorhees, (Ari Lehman), now a monster, drags her underneath the deep water. Was it a dream...? Or something more horrible...
***
In the Hospital Alice sees the Sheriff as she recovers from her ordeal.
"The boy...Jason...is he there? The boy who attacked me? The one who dragged me under the water". The Sheriff sighed. "Jason".
"The boy...".
"Ma'am, we didn't see any boy".
"Then he is still there...", Alice says...and continues to sleep...as the picture of Camp Crystal Lake ends the movie.

The first sign of trouble is when Marcie has a dream about blood when she's with her boyfriend Jack. "...The rain turns to blood...and goes into rivers...", Marcie said. "It's only a dream...Look, this isn't a dream...", he says. As they run away, Ned sees a figure head towards the cabins. "Can I help you?", he asks. He then walks on the step, and is attacked off-screen by the killer. Jack, Marcie, Brenda, Bill and Alice are left at camp as Steve who earlier drives a green jeep into town to get supplies for the day. He isn't seen until later on in the movie.

***

Alice, who is showing romantic leanings towards Bill, is a strong woman who thinks about survival as her friends die around her. She wonders where Annie is when she doesn't arrive at Camp Crystal Lake; she then plays poker with Brenda and Bill in the warm campfire room; she watched as Jack turns on the lights in the Generator Room. Lastly, Alice sees a snake. Bill uses his strength to attack it with a machete...and the scares keep on coming.

Friday the 13th (1980) Part III

*** The campers arrive at the camp. They see Steve Christy was chopping wood with an axe. They help out with the tree, as they meet Alice Hardy. She smiles at the campers, as Christy orders them to paint the camp, so that it looks nice for the hot summer. Christy then sees Alice's drawings of them, and Christy hopes to re-kindle their past romance in California. He convinces her to stay at Camp Crystal Lake for the week, a move that causes her to think her boyfriend is feeling the immense strain of the past-even though he doesn't show it...yet. Alice, a twenty-one year old Assistant Camp Counsellor, talks to Bill, who is painting the cabins, boat shed, and other places at the camps. "Bill, Steve wants Brenda to paint", she said. "Okay, do ya think we'll last all summer?", he asked her. "I don't know if I'm going to last all week", Alice said. Bill smiles, and walks away. *** The campers have fun swimming in the cold lake. Ned, (who is a prankster), pretends to drown so that he could let Brenda kiss him. Jack performs CPR on him, as Ned coughs up water. After the prank, Ned is on the outer. In subsequent sequels, (and other 1980's horror movies), there were other characters who were pranksters); but Ned is the first. Ned then fires a arrow at Brenda, which hits the target at the archery range. She gasps in surprise, and ponders whether she loves Ned or not. Meanwhile, the campers see Officer Dorf, (Ron Millkie), who informs them about Crazy Ralph spouting the Lord's gospel. After threatening them with accusations of drug use, and so on, Dorf gets a call from Sheriff Tierney, (Ronn Carroll). Then, after telling Ned off since he's wearing a Native American outfit that makes him comedic, he drives off towards town. They then head back inside, as Crazy Ralph jumps out of the pantry larder...and tells them that he's a 'Messenger of God...they're all doomed because of the death curse'. Then he leaves through the front wooden door...and heads back to town, (as Harry Manfredini's music creates tension as the movie progresses).... Page 3.

Friday the 13th (1980) Part II

*** The movie begins on a full moon. The legend CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE, 1958 is on the screen. After Barry and Claudette are attacked in the barn, the camp is closed for two decades. In nineteen seventy-nine, as Steve and Alice arrive, Jack, (Kevin Bacon), Marcie, (Jeannine Taylor), Ned, (Mark Nelson), Bill, (Harry Crosby), and Brenda, (Laurie Bartram), head to the haunted campgrounds knowing that their lives would be cut short by a killer on the loose. Meanwhile, a hitchhiker called Annie, (Robbi Morgan), heads to the Crystal Lake Diner in town looking for directions to the camp. A truck driver called Enos, (Rex Everhart), takes her half way there but not before Crazy Ralph tells Annie she's doomed. When he tells her about the deaths of Barry and Claudette, and the strange things that occurred in the nineteen fifties, and early nineteen sixties, (namely fires, and other weird goings on), she shrugs everything off. When Enos drops her off, she grabs her bag and gets out of the truck. Enos then shakes his head, and drives back to town. *** Annie then hops into another truck that is going at a fast speed. She makes the mistake of getting in, and hopes to get a ride to Camp Crystal Lake where she's employed by Steve Christy as the new cook. Sadly, the other truck driver bypasses the camp's sign. Annie opens the passenger-side door, and injures her leg. She then hobbles into the deep woods; she then is killed by the killer, (who is unseen). Afterwards, the killer then heads back to camp with revenge on the mind. *** Page 2.

Friday the 13th (1980) ****.

"You're doomed...you're all doomed!", Crazy Ralph, (Walt Gorney), Sean S. Cunningham's "Friday the 13th", (1980).... *** It was a time in which young teenagers flocked to Camp Crystal Lake. A place in which death and tragedy happened in the late nineteen fifties. Innocence was lost since Jason Voorhees, (Ari Lehman), drowned in the cold lake in nineteen fifty-seven, as teenage campers, Barry and Claudette, were making out in the old barn. The camp, which was opened in nineteen thirty-five, (four years before World War II), was once the most popular camp in America; it was a time in which Pamela Sue Voorhees, (Betsy Palmer), got her revenge over her son's death. Or did he die?...Steve Christy, (Peter Brouwer), was convinced that the camp would re-open back in nineteen seventy-nine. With the help of his girlfriend Alice Hardy, (Adrienne King), the head camp counsellors thought it was safe to spend Friday the 13th, (and the rest of the week); Christy, who spent $25,000 to 'fix up' the camp after convincing his parents to loan him the money, hired a group of campers to help out with them. But, sadly, the so-called 'death curse', and the dire warnings by old timer Crazy Ralph, (Walt Gorney), was sadly ignored. And the nightmare of Friday the 13th had begun... ***
