Description of this Friday the 13th Movie Poster
Friday Killer is a 1981 American slasher film produced and directed by Steve Miner in his directorial debut, and written by Ron Kurz. It is the sequel to the 1980 film Friday the 13th and the second installment in the franchise. Adrienne King, Betsy Palmer and Walt Gorney reprise their respective roles from the first film, namely Alice Hardy, Pamela Voorhees and Crazy Ralph. Amy Steel and John Furey also star. Set five years after the first film, The Friday Killer follows a similar premise, with an unknown stalker killing a group of counselors at a training camp near Crystal Lake. The film marks the debut of Jason Voorhees as the main antagonist of the series.
Originally, Friday Killer was intended to be an anthology film based on the superstition of Friday the 13th. However, after the popularity of the original film's surprise ending, the directors chose to continue the story and mythology surrounding Camp Crystal Lake, a trend that will be repeated in all films in the franchise.
Like the original film, The Friday Killer faced opposition from the Motion Picture Association of America, which noted that its "built-up violence" was problematic, leading to numerous cuts to accommodate an R rating. The film was released theatrically on May 1 in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco on May 1, 1981. The Friday Killer received generally negative reviews and was less financially successful than the first film, grossing 21.7 million. dollars in revenue in the United States for a budget of $1.25 million. A direct sequel, Murders in 3 Dimensions, was released a year later.
Two months after the Camp Crystal Lake murders, sole survivor Alice Hardy recovers from her traumatic experience. In her apartment, when Alice opens the refrigerator to feed her cat, she finds the severed head of Pamela Voorhees and is murdered with an ice pick to the temple by an unknown intruder.
Five years later, Paul Holt opened a school for camp counselors on the shore of Crystal Lake. The camp is attended by Sandra, her boyfriend Jeff, Scott, Terry, Mark, Vickie, Ted and Ginny, Paul's assistant, as well as many other interns. That evening, around the campfire, Paul tells the counselors the legend of Jason Voorhees, a boy who drowned at Camp Crystal Lake in 1957, prompting his vengeful mother to commit two murders in 1958 and 1979 , until she was finally killed by Alice Hardy in self-defense. According to legend, Jason survived and now lives in the woods near Crystal Lake; furious at the death of his mother, he kills everyone he meets. As Paul finishes the story, a man with a spear scares everyone, but it is actually Ted wearing a mask. Paul reassures everyone that Jason is dead and that Camp Crystal Lake is now condemned and off limits.
That night, Crazy Ralph wanders onto the property to warn the group, but he is garrotted behind a tree by an unseen killer. The next day, Jeff and Sandra sneak out to Camp Crystal Lake and find a dog carcass before getting caught by Deputy Winslow and returning to camp. Later, Winslow sees a man wearing a burlap sack mask running across the road. Winslow chases him into the woods and finds a cabin. The man kills Winslow with a hammer claw.
Back at camp, Paul offers the others a last night in town before training begins. Six of them remain, including Jeff and Sandra, who are forced to stay to punish them for slipping away. At the bar, Ginny thinks that if Jason were still alive and had witnessed his mother's death, he might no longer have distinguished between life and death, or good and evil. Paul rejects the idea, proclaiming that Jason is just an urban legend. Meanwhile, the attacker appears at the camp and kills the counselors, one by one. Scott has his throat slashed with a machete while caught in a rope trap, and Terry is killed off-camera upon discovering Scott's corpse. Mark is hit in the face with a machete and falls down the stairs to his death. The killer then goes upstairs and impales Jeff and Sandra with a spear while they have sex, then stabs Vickie to death with a kitchen knife.
Ted stays at the bar while Ginny and Paul return to find the place a mess. In the darkness, the killer ambushes Paul and pursues Ginny throughout the camp and into the woods, where she comes across the cabin. After barricading herself inside, she discovers an altar on which lies the severed head of Pamela Voorhees, surrounded by a pile of bodies. Realizing that Jason Voorhees is the killer, Ginny puts on Pamela's sweater and tries to psychologically convince Jason that she is his mother. The ruse works briefly, until Jason sees his mother's head on the altar and wakes up from his trance. Paul suddenly returns and tries to save Ginny, but Jason incapacitates him. Just as Jason is about to kill Paul with a pickaxe, Ginny picks up a machete and stabs it into Jason's shoulder, appearing to kill him.
Paul and Ginny return to the cabin and hear someone outside. Thinking that Jason has followed them, they open the door and discover Muffin, Terry's dog. As they sigh in relief, Jason, unmasked, bursts through the window and grabs Ginny. She wakes up as she is being loaded into an ambulance and calls Paul, who is nowhere, leaving her fate ambiguous. Back in the cabin, Pamela's head remains on the altar, but Jason is nowhere to be found.
