Sexta-Feira 13 - A Vingança De Jason

And it's another Constantino film! Another short fan film! This time he tackled the Friday the 13th universe, more directly at the source and origin of Jason.

Another job well done right here! Constantino continues to show respect for the"parent" movies and builds his stories with care and attention to detail.

And of course it shows his love to the franchises he chooses to work with.

We also hae hisand Miguel D. Dias cameos at the beginning of the movie, so the final and more personal touch is given.

It is another great work from everyone involved, as always, so congrats for another great short movie! Let the next one come!

I say that, of course, in reference to the expected quality of a movie like this. In general, horror movies are bad, but this one was a relief, it builds on the origin story of Jason and brings back the goods, but...it´s a short movie, i would really like to see a full feature to see what ideas could they develop from this, seeing Jason with the bag head brings me back to friday the 13th part 2, when the story starts to develop in a good way, here we see lots of information about the town, the people, Jason´s life when he was still a child, i dig that a lot, this movie just doesn´t have the amount of gore and violence of the franchise, but still i liked it, for what it is.

The Jason mythology is still here. His mother is still involved, and we see a little of Jason´s early days before what happend i dig that a lot, always wanted to see more of the town, the town folks talking about him, from what i´ve seen, everybody knows about him in this movie, but nobody goes to crystal lake anymore because they know that is cursed, only the teenagers venture there to die.

It doesn´t have a lot of killing like the original movies but it has a good premise, jumping from place to place and see Jason stalking the lake in search for victims, like a normal day in his life.

Good cast, good effects, good story = it´s 9 for me.

I like the burlap sack mask. It is creepy.

The tension scenes have a great impact causing a certain fear and anguish of what could happen. Basically everything here is much improved, including the story. The script is not even close to being good, but some ideas here are much better than others.

The soundtrack is sweet and a good improvement on the franchise.

The cast does a good job, of what they have here, still the characters make dumb choices, ignoring any warning of danger, and running away from any unpleasant situation.

We are mostly looking for the kills, and there are some that are effective, but they are scarce.

All in all 8.

We see Jason come back after he drowned in Crystal Lake and then we get more teenagers for him to be mad at. Why you ask? Does it really matter? Let's say because they can live a life he never could and he hates them for it. That should be good enough. We also get a final girl that is quite clever.

Nor is it the best when it comes to dialogue. Much of it is very crude and cheesy.

Visually, on the other hand, it improves over some of the sequels.

And the hauntingly eerie music score, moves along very well throughout the movie, as Jason comes and kills them.

Never undertstood very well the bag on his head, but this movie has it, and it´s different.

Overall, pretty good prequel or sequel.
