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.
