2.5/4
"A solid first sequel and the truly chilling jump scare at the end gives the original's a run for its money."  DustinPutman.com  Dustin Putman

2/5
"A little better than its predecessor, but that's not saying much."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

"The quintessential 80s slasher, complete with promiscuous, plastered, post-Carter pueriles getting their reactionary deserts...maintains an anchoring sense of driving logic--something that can't be said for so many of the horror movies that would follow.."  The L Magazine  Henry Stewart

2.5/4
"cannot be defended intellectually, yet, the film's very simplicity and directness gives it a kind of folkloric power, albeit power that works only if you give yourself over to it"  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

2.5/4
"Friday the 13th Part 2 never aspires to be termite art."  Slant Magazine  Jeremiah Kipp

3/10
"The new camp counselors are interchangeable with the old ones. Different faces, same basic people."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

3/5
"Not as good as the original, but still pretty fun, it serves up more of the same and continued to be fresh enough before its many other sequels got too silly."  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

C
"Its general competence remains a surprising improvement, albeit not one strong enough to elevate it into the realm of recommendation."  Projection Booth  Rob Humanick

6/10
"More of the same. It all depends on your taste for carnage."  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg

2/4
"a carbon copy sequel"  sbs.is  Stefan Birgir Stefansson

"Even crude techniques, when properly employed, can be effective, in a lowest-common-denominator kind of way."  Cinefantastique  Steve Biodrowski

6/10
"All things considered, it probably should have been a whole lot worse."  Antagony & Ecstasy  Tim Brayton
