Years after two counselors were brutally murdered, a group of young counselors set out to reopen the cursed Camp Crystal Lake, but someone out there doesn't want them to succeed and will stop at nothing to make sure the camp never reopens.
Unlike the sequels, the joy of Friday the 13th is the murder mystery aspect. While the ending reveal is a bit of a cheat, it still makes the finale no less exciting. Tom Savini's graphic special effects still continue to gross out and inspire awe and Harry Manfredini's strings-heavy score makes the film work better than it has any right to.

Jason, having survived his drowning all those years ago, goes after a new group of camp counselors who have set up shop across the lake from Crystal Lake.
If you ignore the obvious plot holes about Jason surviving his drowning and living in the wild for years, Friday the 13th Part 2 is a suspense-filled slasher with some of the more likable characters in the series and an excellent heroine in Ginny (Amy Steel). There's a scary simplicity to both the story and Jason's disguise - a plain white sack to hide his face.

Jason licks his wounds and moves to another spot of the woods to terrorize a new batch of friends who have come to one of their family's cabins to have some fun and encounter Jason instead.
Friday the 13th Part III offers lots of fun 3D effects, but not a lot of originality in anything but the murder sequences. We're treated to spear guns going through eye balls, heads being crushed, and fire pokers going through torsos, but the characters aren't colorful or engaging enough to feel any fear for them.
