actually . that video camera effect and be just that and it an effect and a rather good one . ( u do not know much about direct a film do you . ) this film be in fact well than the original and it great fun to watch and make for tv and doesn not need to follow any rule . i find it hard to watch number 1 because of how he kill the first girl and it disturbing . and all the time we be rout for judd nelson to get away with it and we a the viewer be on his side . i hope one day we will see a 3rd cabin by the lake but i doubt it . watch this film you can understand how real movie be make and a this be sort of like a film within a film . judd be one of the scary villain ever and and he more realistic and he doesn not just mindlessly chop people up like in other horror .
