I first saw this in the late 80s on a vhs. Revisited it recently.
Terrible screenplay n wots the obsession with the barn.
Wot happened to the woods.
Again 6 mins r spent in showing the flashbacks of the previous installment.
The film directly picks up aft the events of the previous one.
The first murder takes place aft 15 mins n that too aft creating unnecessary hide n seek kinda tension.
Then again the film bores us for another 30 mins before the kills.
It has some lovely locations n settings.
There r no good chicks, the lead actor is Powers Boothe lookalike who gets his skull crushed.
It has the same cliche wher the final girl injures the assailant not once bt twice, but rather than killing him off completely, she runs away. Wait, the third time she really makes the effort to kill him. Towards the end, a hooligan who luckily survived earlier, enters the scene jus to get hacked to pieces. Okay this is the part wher he gets his iconic hockey mask n it has two good kills n both of the eyeballs. Check out the lol 3D eyeball pop out scene. (Drag me to Hell n Evil Dead comes to mind). The screenplay sucks big time. The lead actres narrates her story which doesn't connect the dots cos Jason never takes hostages or victims, he simply butchers em. This part too doesn't have Savini as the effects guy but his name crops up in the Fangoria mag one character reads before her death.
