I thought this little gem was kind of entertaining. It's not telling you what else happened at Crystal Lake. It's more of a What If? tale. And yes, the segments are kind of cliché, but they are definitely in the spirit of Friday the 13th. For those of you who thought it was pointless, guess what? You only watched 7 of about 40 minutes! This is almost an anthology tale where The Killer is relentless in chasing The Lone Survivor. And I've got to say, I've watched lots of fan-made films before, but this one actually had a budget and high production values. The camera alone was probably worth way more than what most fan-made films can contribute. Not to mention believable effects. Some of them were even better than the smeared-on blood effects from the actual sequels. I suggest you watch all 6 chapters in this little saga to get any fulfillment, though. Just watching 1 chapter is like picking up a film cell and trying to suss out the plot.

This is a fantastic movie. I first saw it at 20 years old and remembered all the fun things I did as a teenager. This movie makes you want to reclaim your lost youth. Why couldn't they have cool stuff like that when I was their age?

After Dark Angel was canceled by Fox, I checked this web site to see what else Jessica Alba had starred in. I was surprised to find out that this was Jessica's first movie. Way cool! She has only one or two lines, but she does pop up plenty of times and adds plenty of atmosphere to the film.

A good one to watch with the family, but make sure that your kids don't get any ideas. ;)
