I've never really been a big fan of Miner.
House,
Friday II &
III,
Warlock and
Lake Placid have always left me a little non-plussed.
Despite the odd decent scene I actually find his films to be rather dull...
Friday Part II being one of the worst offenders - and not only for the fact that most of the kill scenes have been ripped off from Bava's
A Bay of Blood. I've never been the biggest F13th fan but I recently re-watched Part II (having re-watched the original last year - generally I can just about manage to struggle through one of these films a year
) and was amazed at how
boring it actually is. My
review reflects my thoughts perfectly.
