    There are several reasons to own the Friday The 13th movies. First is that they are amazing with the remastering to high definition and remixing to 5.1 surround. Convinced yet? How about the special features like the Lost Tales From Camp Blood serial and the making of features. The interviews are entertaining and enlightening as well. How about now? Well what if I told you that no matter how bad we want to say that we are too sophisticated to like these movies, they are still just a heck of a lot of fun to watch.

    ComicsOnline gives the second trilogy of the Friday the 13th movies 5 bloody machetes out of 5.
