The end chase scenes of the first four Fridays stand apart from the rest. I have to agree with John F. The end chase scenes of the first four Fridays stand apart from the rest.

Sure Jason wasnt' the killer, but this was the first and seeing this movie the first time not knowing who the killer is much scarier then knowing. I have to give it up to part one.

I just watched Part III again last night and realized what a great scene Chili had towards the end. From when she realizes that Shelley is actually dead to running up the stairs and discovering Andy and Debbie dead. Imagine how scary that must be, especially when you're stoned! I always felt bad for her (not just because she only got a total of 4 minutes screen time) because the hot fire poker must have hurt SO badly! Nice topic!

Do people completely forget about part 2? I consider the final sequence to not only be the best chase scene in Friday the 13th, but in the horror genre itself. It is bold to say, I know, but the final half hour is so well done. It is an incredibly tense sequence. They come back from the bar, Jason is waiting. Jason attacks, Ginny gets away. Paul is assumed dead. Ginny tries the cars, Jason almost gets her. Jason, stalks Ginny through the woods, leaping out at her and continuing the pursuit into different cabins. They end up at the shack, Paul is not dead, he is then probably dead, etc. The final ten minutes are the most original in the series. Ginny dons the crusty sweater and uses child psychology on the child trapped in a man's body, Jason. Where else in the series past part 2 do you have that clever of a plot device? And In Part 3, yes there is that added dimension that Chris is reliving her traumatic experience, but Part 2 has that wonderful realization on Ginny's part that the story she heard at the bar is completely true and Jason is after her. But there are several things that make this such an effective scene (aside from the steadily rising tension). 1) Manfredini's score. It fits so well. Especially in the shack. There's that Frankensteinish, evil laboratory whirring synth effect throughout Ginny's attempt to confuse Jason, for example. 2) You can see Jason in the background several times pursuing Ginny. He is an animal on the hunt, and when you are able to comprehend just how close he is in these shots, it is terrifying (Part 3 does this sparingly, but not to the same effect). 3) Whether or not this is intentional, Jason's pursuit through the woods seems like it lasts for HOURS. I absolutely love it. The reason? They do those drawn out dissolve-type transitions while hes stalking her. They show a shot of the moon. They show Ginny running through a nightmare. They show the monster, Jason endlessly after her. 4) It is the most realistic. Jason gets knocked around more than Ginny does. Pushed down a few times, kicked in the balls, Chainsawed, and Machete'd through the shoulder (the eyeball rolling back is a wonderful touch). 5) Jason is scary. He is human. He runs. He is monstrous and demented. His face is grotesque. love this movie. I don’t usually chime in, but I feel like I have to represent my favorite entry in the series.
