Friday the 13th Part 3D (1982)-Part 2

***

Shelly scares Vera after she tells him off for his pranks...Steve Miner's "Friday the 13th Part 3D", (1982).
***
As in the first two movies, the teenagers and the twenty-something dope heads Chuck and Chilli, are killed off by Jason Voorhees. The lame 3D effects should've been shelved, but it didn't happen. Rick and Chris head off to the woods for a romantic reunion where she tells Rick about their date two year's ago that caused her parents to ground her. When she slept by the oak tree, she is attacked by Jason Voorhees. The inconsistency of the movies continues in further sequels. By 1982, Sean S. Cunningham directed "A Stranger is Watching", a B thriller, that wasn't as successful as the original "Friday the 13th". By the early 1980's, horror audiences wanted more of the same, so there were more sequels, and less originality in the process. Wes Craven, and John Landis, burst on the scene, with "The Hills have eyes", (1977); "Summer of Fear", (1978); and "Deadly Blessing", (1981), with Dee Wallace, Linda Blair, and Sharon Stone, and Landis's "An American Werewolf in London", (1981), were box office hits, director Steve Miner left the franchise knowing he would make other horror movies by the end of the 1980's, like "Warlock", (1988), six year's later.

A young Sharon Stone in Wes Craven's "Deadly Blessing", (1981). It would be eleven year's later that she would be famous in the notorious movie "Basic Instinct", (1992), with Michael Douglas.

The last part of "Friday the 13th Part 3D", (1982), has Chris and Rick all alone in the camp. Rick is killed, and Chris battles Jason Voorhees. She fells out of the window, limps, and heads to the van. Jason smashes the glass windows, and disappears in the old barn. In other scenes, Chris uses an axe to throw at the killer. In the end, Jason falls downward onto the ground...and remains silent. Chris flees in a canoe, (mirroring what Alice Hardy, (Adrienne King), does in the first movie). We see the absurd vision of Jason Voorhees also looking out of the window, and removing the mask, letting her know he was the one who attacked her! Then, as she rests, Mrs. Voorhees, (Marilyn Poucher), drags her underneath the water.

In the end, Chris had a mental breakdown, and is taken away by the Sheriff, and the Deputies. And the movie ends, setting up for yet another sequel.
