To read the full review of Friday The 13th, Part 2, click here.  Paramount Home Entertainment releases Friday The 13th Part 2 and Friday The 13th Part 3 on Blu-Ray June 16th.  And yes, they are both a (little bit) better in Blu-Ray.  Part 2 is still not a good movie.  None of the Friday movies will ever be good.  But because it was so dark the first time around, the clarity provided by Blu-Ray allows us to see the creepy Jason stalking his victims a little more clearly.  Not that this makes him any scarier.  And the scenes where people get thrown through windows or run screaming into the woods are no better.  But it’s a little less confusing.  And that’s good.

     The Blu-Ray copy of the movie features the same special features that were in Paramount’s Deluxe Edition of the same movie a few months ago.  Those are available in HD here - Friday’s Legacy: Horror Conventions is the best of the special features, and Inside Crystal Lake Memories is pretty decent.  There is also a short film called Lost Tales From Camp Blood Part 2 which is kind of neat and apparently doesn’t really require the viewing of Part One.
