Friday the 13th part 1, 2

Lets just say I got exactly what I was expecting with this 1980 classic cult horror movie. What I wasn't expecting was the fact that I now never want to be a camp counselor.

Picture this: Camp Crystal Lake has a horrific past involving fires, drownings, and murders. It's called Camp Blood. It's being opened by a young man who's waiting for all the new teenage counselors and the chef to arrive. The chef doesn't ever arrive.  Kevin Bacon wears short shorts.  People start dying and soon there's only one girl left. PLOT TWIST: its not a hockey mask-wearing slasher, it's his mom. Teenage girl beheads mom, police arrive and there's one survivor.

New Movie: Starts off where the last one left off. The lone survivor from the last movie is in her house, she has a cat, Jason kills her as she goes for some milk. There's a new training camp for counselors and it's right next door to the last camp. Half the people leave for a night out on the town and the rest of the kids are murdered. Everyone comes back and they too are killed, except for one couple. There's this horrible moment when you think this dog is dead, but then it's alive and it distracts them. Jason jumps through the window and grabs the girl and later she wakes up in an ambulance and her boyfriend plus the dog are missing. 

Yay, it's alive!

These movies were not at all surprising, but they were entertaining and by the second movie, I was watching it mostly to see the creative ways people died. They did have a lot of cliches, like the lights going out, running upstairs instead of outside, couples do it then die, etc. Not the best horror films, but certainly not the worst.
