Jason Rising: A Friday the 13th Fan Film

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!!!

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.)

Watched movie did a get a bit bord half way through but the last 5 mins great i only do short reviews but i will say 8 out of ten really enjoyed.

Taking place shortly after "Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter", this 2021 fan-made movie was actually not all that bad.

The storyline in "Jason Rising", as written by Vincente DiSanti, Vincente DiSanti, Maurice J Cardwell and Robert Blanche, proved to be a fair enough foray unofficially into the "Friday the 13th" franchise. It was definitely an interesting take on the events following the fourth movies in the official franchise.

There was a good amount of action throughout the course of the movie, which made it a fast-paced movie, and that spoke well in favor of the movie.

The acting performances in the movie were fair enough, and I was impressed with the fact that they managed to get Amy Steel (voice only) and Adrienne King to appear in the movie. That was a special sweet for the fans of the franchise.

Jason was quite brutal in the movie, almost savage. And I have to say that I liked the way that Dan Kyle brought Jason to life (pardon the pun) on the screen.

A fair fan-made addition to the franchise, but there are more entertaining fan-made movies out there.

My rating of director James Sweet's 2021 movie "Jason Rising" lands on a six out of ten stars.

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!
