| I also watched "His Name Was Jason", and learned that it was Tom Savini's idea for Jason to be a mongoloid. If not for Savini's input to the Jason character, what would he have looked like in the later films? Think about that for a second. The makeup artist for the first film is responsible for the base, human look of Jason Voorhees. That look would be built upon for the rest of the series. |
Once I rewatch Part 4 (Another Savini film), I'll answer the question. I can't remember if he changed much between 3 and 4.

Granted, the story isn't very deep, but there is definitely a story there. In my opinion, the main story is a mother's love for her son.
Her son died due to the irresponsibility of some counselors at this camp. The very next year, she killed those counselors. It's not confirmed in the film, but I like to believe she's behind the issues that kept the camp from reopening in the 10 years afterwards. When it finally reopens, she goes on a killing spree to avenge her son again.

All that is true (Although I do question if Ralph had anything to do with some of the misfortunes after the killings in '57), however; it takes a good 80 minutes before we realize all this. So for most of the movie, the only "Story line" is 'who's going to die next?' Although none of the sequels had any complex story lines, several of them had some easy to recognize story lines from the start of the movie that played out throughout the entire film. This movie reminds me a lot of the script for Halloween 2. The entire story was just pointless up until we could finally have Michael vs Loomis and Laurie. There wasn't any real story up until they could meet up again.
