While I have heard about this film... this is the first time I got to see it. I am glad I finally tracked down a copy... as I enjoyed every minute of it. I found it to be just plain fun. Though I would have liked to seen Captain America in his uniform more during the middle of the film... that is just a minor complaint. This is a DVD I borrowed from the library... so I hope to be able to add it to my collection before too long.

Friday the 13th - Part 2, a review by addicted2dvd

Title: Friday the 13th - Part 2 Year: 1981 Director: Steve Miner Rating: R Length: 87 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.85:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: Mono, French: Dolby Digital: Mono Subtitles: English, Spanish

Plot:
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to camp... here's even more heart-pounding terror.

Five years after the horrible blood bath at Camp Crystal Lake, all that remains is the legend of Jason Voorhees and his demented mother, who had murdered seven camp counselors. At the nearby summer camp, the new counselors are unconcerned about the warnings to stay away from the infamous site. Carefree, the young people roam the area, not sensing the ominous lurking presence. One by one, they are attacked and brutally slaughtered. Suspense and screams abound in this compelling thriller.

Extras:
Scene Access
Closed Captioned

My Thoughts:
The second movie in the series is a good one. This one Jason doesn't have his infamous hockey mask yet. Instead it is a burlap sack. I am enjoying this one just as much as the first... if not a hair better. These films seem to strike a good nostalgia cord for me. It seems  that no movies brings back the '80s for me more then the Friday the 13th movies for some reason.

A typical story about a shy guy meeting the girl of his dreams. I watched the first episode of the more series OVA series instead of the comical TV series. The OVA series is well done, though there aren't real surprises in the story.
