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?...

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.
