Twenty years earlier, Camp Crystal Lake was been shut down after the mysterious death of a young boy and a couple of counselors. After several failed attempts at re-opening the camp, Steve Christy is working towards making it suitable for inner-city campers. Bad idea, because it seems Friday the 13th is right around the corner and death awaits all. The locals loony, Crazy Ralph, warns that the camp has a "death curse", but it falls on deaf and soon to be blooded ears.One by one, the counselors seem to drop as they engage in acts of pre-martial sex, smoking dope, and drinking. Guess they all forgot to read the "Camp Blood" rules of conduct and now must pay with their LIVES. No two murders are alike as evident through Tom Savini's genius. But who is the killer? I won't tell, but please don't lose your head.
As the final machete finds its' destinations, Alice is left as the sole survivor of this massacre. The films ends with a chilling exchange between Sheriff Tierney and Alice; "... we didn't find any boy", than he's still there." This is quite evident with the emergence of Jason in Part 2. From that time on he has laid his claim to the title "King of All Slashers". Rent this film and all of those that followed!!!
