Vengeance

I thoroughly enjoyed this film from start to finish. I really appreciated the details in this movie and it didn't feel like I was watching a fan film at all. This film had all the elements of a Friday The 13th film and you could tell that the team behind this project are true fans of the franchise.

The effects weren't bad at all! I think the movie was very entertaining, for being a fan made movie. nothing beats the original, but I don't think anyone would have expected this to be better. but as I said the effects were really good. thanks for an entertaining movie with my favorite killer jason.

Vengeance is a fan film with a really cool premise: opening with the scrapped Elias Voorhees ending for Part 6 where Elias visits Jason's (empty) grave. The plot of the movie retcons everything after Part 6 and takes place 30 years later in 2019 centering on descendants of some of the survivors from the previous films. When they bring in familiar names like Henry Manfredini, CJ Graham and Steve Dash, you know they made a remarkable effort.

There are some awesome callbacks for fans of the series, but be warned: it's really cheesy... even for a Friday the 13th movie. Still, I have to recommend it!

B- pros:this wasn't a fan film, this was an actual film with great cinematography. the acting for the most part was rally good. I actually cared for some of the main characters, though only a couple of them. I like the whole tour at crystal lake aspect with the show. I thought it was neat. I think this film does do somethings new, has Jason Voorhee's father killing as well and Jason is pretty scary himself. I thought this was a quite scary and intense and entertaining film, only 94 minutes long. also the kills are very brutal and are amazing. cons: The rest of the acting and characters aren't very good. the main teenager isn't too great and has some stiff lines. the rest of the characters were just there to die and have sex which they kinda do. they were pretty annoying and I was glad when they died. also some scenes were weird and a little amateur. the story even though is kinda new, generally feels the same for a lot of the film. some teenagers or people come to crystal lake and die. yea there's the whole revenge plot which is cool, but other then that, same thing. also a ton of the characters are only in a few scenes, take the sheriff, just gives orders then dies. also the inmates are just picking up trash then die. they are pointless characters. overall, this film is decent. good acting for the most part and great kills, but is generic and has lame characters.

Just watch the film. If you are at all a fan of the Friday the 13th series, this film is certainly for you. It looks, sounds, and feels like it fits into the franchise perfectly. I am skeptical that this is really a fan film as I can almost guarantee you that later down the road, it's going to come out that there was something going on here because of all the stupid lawsuits with the franchise rights. At the end of the day, it's a solid. The whole Father/Son angle has not been used before in the franchise and this is nothing like what was connected between Jason and Mrs. Voorhees. This is actually a fresh coat of paint on a series that needed something new to breathe life into it. Needless to say, it's here. Good acting and well filmed, the people behind this should be proud. Hopefully we can get a physical media release of this. I've seen many of the fan films in this series and this one, hands down, is the best one yet and much better than that last "Reboot" that was put out by Platinum Dunes. I'm quite impressed and well entertained. You should see it.
