There can be no denying the cult status of the original Friday the 13th. Or even, for that matter, its two sequels. This sequel separates itself from its predecessors in its tongue in cheek approach to horror movie clichés and clever cinematic techniques. Homages to Nightmare on Elm Street, Frankenstein etc., are controlled well without relying on previous horror tradition.
One thing that separates this is perhaps its pure enjoyable nature. This film is amazingly fun to watch and well acted. At some point, when I come to watch he film again, I will give a point-by-point analysis of why this film has such a place in my heart. Until then, suffice to say - excellent kills, sufficiently good acting, a well-shot film, and cleverly directed (watch for the breaking of the forth wall...tres pretentious)
