Friday the 13th Part 2

---

“Five years after the events of the first film, a summer camp next to the infamous Camp Crystal Lake is preparing to open, but the legend of Jason is weighing heavy on the proceedings.”

It’s time to be introduced to our favorite hockey mask killer! Well, kind of. I mean, it’s time for Jason but in his introduction, he had a sack over his head. But still! Time for mommy’s little boy to avenge her death… and just never really stop.

We’re treated to a nice recap via a dream/memory of Alice just before she’s killed in case that complete plot may have escaped your memory, then we are treated to a new set of horned-up camp counselors. But they aren’t on Camp Crystal Lake exactly, although Jason doesn’t seem to care about the difference.

One of the employees of the new camp is a child counselor who looks at the myth of Jason in a different way. To Jason, his mother was all he had. There was no real formal education and he probably had no concept of death until he saw his mother beheaded.

It also shoes us a Jason who has secluded himself to his precious Camp Crystal Lake and is not fond of visitors, even law enforcement. And he boasts a sack over his head instead of the iconic hokey mask. Bust everyone has to grow, right?

SPOILERS FROM THIS POINT

While we have the obligatory camp counselor executions, it’s interesting to think of Jason as a man child that lost his mother in front of him in an epic beheading. Ginny uses this to her advantage by pretending to be his mother to manipulate and stop him.

Is Jason a psychopathic killer? Or is he someone who never got a chance to be taught otherwise?
