New “Kill Count” Video Examines the Carnage in ‘Friday the 13th Part 2’
Did you know that Part 2 has the lowest body count of the whole series?
It’s kind of funny that Paramount can’t seem to get a new Friday the 13th film off the ground, because there was a time when they were churning out new sequels left and right – the first follow-up, Friday the 13th Part 2, was released just one year after the first film! Part 2 is of course the movie that began Jason’s bloody reign of terror, and it’s the subject of the latest “Kill Count” video from our friend James A. Janisse of the YouTube channel Dead Meat.
As we told you last week, the brand new “Kill Count” YouTube series will spawn a new video each and every Friday, and today he takes a closer look at all the kills from Jason’s very first outing. There are of course some great kills in Part 2, with the most iconic being the cruel machete-to-the-face murder of wheelchair-bound Mark. Still feel bad for that dude, all these years later.
James doesn’t, however. He thinks Mark’s death was funny. Okay, it kind it was.
Check out the super fun new “Kill Count” episode below!

Romantic Revenge Thriller ‘Love Lies Bleeding’ Starring Kristen Stewart Is Now Available at Home!
After earning rave reviews on the festival scene before landing in theaters last month, Love Lies Bleeding, a revenge thriller from Saint Maud director Rose Glass, has released at home on VOD this week.
Love Lies Bleeding is now available for digital purchase ($24.99) and rental ($19.99)! We’ve also learned that the film is coming to Blu-ray on June 6, 2024.
Katy O’Brian stars alongside Kristen Stewart (Underwater) in the upcoming film from A24, which is said to be “a romance fueled by ego, desire and the American Dream.”
I wrote in my Sundance review, “With a visionary at the helm and an impressive cast willing to follow along with every wild turn thrown at them, Love Lies Bleeding makes for a captivating ‘80s set crime thriller unafraid to get deeply weird and ultra-violent.” Expect things to get weird and violent: “That it devolves into madness, complete with humor and surreal imagery, means that it’s the precise type of gonzo cinema that’ll likely prove divisive. But Glass makes it so easy to fall on this movie’s wavelength, and the unpredictability of it keeps you deeply invested and often breathless from the suspense.”
In the film, “Reclusive gym manager Lou falls hard for Jackie, an ambitious bodybuilder headed through town to Las Vegas in pursuit of her dream. But their love ignites violence, pulling them deep into the web of Lou’s criminal family.”
Kristen Stewart, Katy O’Brian (“The Walking Dead”), Dave Franco (“The After Party”), Ed Harris (“Westworld”), Anna Baryshnikov (“Dickinson”) and Jena Malone (“Goliath”) star.
Acclaimed director and double BAFTA nominee Rose Glass teams with A24 and Film4 for the new film. Glass directed from a script she co-wrote with Weronika Tofilska.
A24 produced alongside Andrea Cornwell for Lobo Films and Oliver Kassman for Escape Plan Productions. A24 will handle the global release of the film.
