Jason Rising: A Friday the 13th Fan Film

Have just finished watching this movie it was ok for a B grade, but i think that they missed a great opportunity to start it off from the beginning and keep Jason alive through out all these movies that they are going to do other than that it was ok.

For a crowd sourced movie on a limited budget, this movie was AWESOME. Cinematography, score, and the overall atmosphere takes you right back to vintage Crystal Lake.

The kills were brutal and imaginative and Jason was properly menacing. The addition of the Mrs Voorhees character was interesting and I thought it really worked.

Absolutely LOVED all the "nods and winks" to prior movie lore, and it felt like the producers made a "love letter" to fans of this franchise.

If I had any complaints: I wished it were a longer movie! By time you get super into it, it's already over. They did set themselves up nicely for a sequel, if they decide to (and I hope they do).

This can definitely be added to the list of quality fan film submissions in the F13 Universe (Never Hike Alone, Vengeance, Voorhees.)

Oh my gosh, where do I even start? I helped support this film two years ago, and it was definitely worth the wait. The cinematography alone is worth the watch. Just the first five minutes are beautiful to look at. Very colorful! This would be the perfect film to watch in October. There were many nods and easter eggs to past Friday movies. The movie itself is only an hour long, but it's jam-packed with atmosphere, great kills, great storyline, great gore, great practical effects, and a great twist in the end that I never saw coming! It was totally kept a secret, and I squealed when the moment came. Jason is very cool looking and scary. The film even has a decapitated Mrs. Voorhees wandering around Crystal Lake and killing people.

The film is set after the events of Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter. Jason has been buried for years, and things have been quiet around Crystal Lake. Soon, three convicted felons break out of prison and being hunted by Jed and Bear, with the help of Sheriff Daltry and Deputy Eve Glover. The felons enter the long abandoned Camp Crystal Lake, and Jason is no longer dormant. With the help of his ghost/zombie/decapitated mother, he's resurrected and ready to kill again. (This has one of the best kills in the series, that's similar to a death in Mortal Kombat)

If you're a die-hard Friday the 13th fan, please treat yourself to this fan film. It's free on Youtube right now. Curl up in a blanket for an hour and enjoy the epicness. These guys did a lot of hard work to give us a great film, and it was worth it. There are many nods to the other films, and possibly an Evil Dead reference. I would highly recommend JASON RISING: A FRIDAY THE 13TH FAN FILM!!!

Thank you to the filmmakers of Jason Rising for giving us everything we have longed to see in a Friday the 13th film. The kills are amazing and the returns were unexpected and a great surprise. Jason is back!

What a great treat for a fan film with an original storyline but with so many subtle and not so subtle nods to the old films in the franchise. Must watch for all fans. The ending was awesome!
