As creepy as this is, you got to admire how much Jason loved his mother.
As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.
- The kid who gets called home by his mom walks out of frame only for Jason to step into frame virtually a second later.
- Mark's death is simple yet effective. The sequence starts with some nice build-up, as he sits in his wheelchair on the porch, and slowly realizes that something is amiss. Several moments of silence go by, before he unexpectedly takes a machete to the face. The impact is so great that the entire blade is lodged sideways into his skull and his chair is sent falling backwards down the steps.
- The climactic scene in which Ginny discovers Jason's shrine to his dead mother, complete with her decapitated and decaying head on full display.
- The head appears earlier in the film as well, when Jason leaves it in Alice's fridge for her to find for no discernible reason other than pure sadism.
- Sandra and Jeff have the most creative deaths in the film, with the two of them being impaled by a spear as they make love, with the tip going all the way through their bodies and out the other side of the mattress. The uncut version is even worse as the viewer is treated to a full body shot of the spear going in along with close-ups of the two being splashed with blood on their faces.
- Harry Manfredini's score is enough to keep you on edge, with manic "Psycho" Strings abound.
- Jason's shrine is pretty horrific, but there is an extra layer that is easy to miss because it's visual only and appears briefly. Taking place five years after the first film, Paul mentions Alice disappeared two months after the events of the original. Leaning against the shrine, next to Terry's body, is a well rotted corpse. That corpse is Alicenote , left to decay in the woods for five years. Even more disturbing, when you realize Jason brought her body back as "tribute" to his mother.
- The ending is pretty effective, as the movie leads you to believe that Jason is about to come barging through the front door, only to pull a bait and switch and have him break through the back window to grab Ginny instead. Making it even worse is the following scene, showing Ginny, alive and well being loaded into an ambulance, while Paul is nowhere in sight.
- The uncut death scenes discovered in 2020 are quite gruesome and rival some of the later films in how sadistic they appear.
- Alice is not only stabbed in the temple, but through her head and out her nose with her giving a shocked expression as she dies and spits blood.
- Scott bleeds out slowly as his neck is cut.
- Crazy Ralph is fully choked out as Jason garrotes him.
