13 Fanboy

I was very excited to see this movie get off the ground, and I was very excited to pay for it the day it was released on VOD. With that being said, this movie did not do it for me, casting Dee Wallace as your main focus was a mistake. She just did not have the presence to make the it work, as she seemed as a huge fish out of water, as a fan of hers, I'm not taking anything away from her, I just believe she was miscast. It was fun seeing all of the returning Friday the 13th actors, and I feel Deborah Voorhees has promise as a director, but this movie took the wrong route. A better story would have made this movie sail further then I feel this one has.

As a long time fan of the friday the 13th series. I was excited when this project was announced. I can site almost the entire series scene by scene.. Im a diehard. This movies plot along with the cast sounded great on paper.. but after watching this. Id have to say.. Both CJ Graham and Kane Hodder deserve a razzie award each for two of the worst performances on screen. A few other cast members can be nominated too. Lots of plot inconsistences as well. Some of the cast in here seem like cheap cameo appearances and their characters have no idea what to do with the script. The movie seemed scrambled together.

I understand making movies is hard and takes alot of work. I have nothing but respect to deborah voorhees and the cast but overall this movie is a major mess. I also couldnt stand the youtuber police story cameos either. Brutally horrible. The kills.. not that creative. The killer(s) motives..horrible. The ending is pretty much a scream rip-off. 13 Fanboy makes Halloween Kills seem like a cinematic masterpiece.

I did like Deborah Sullivan's cameo though. Shes also great in Secret Santa which for being a low budget independent movie. Is a million times better.

I love Deb Voorhees. She's an amazing person and really created something special for friday fans...

For a fan fiction movie it's top notch but don't expect the same production value as a big studio, obviously.

There are a lot of characters in the movie... and if your just a casual fan of Friday , it might be a little confusing.

Had some good scenes and some really liked what Kane Hodder brought to the movie. He's such a likeable person...

Too many set up scenes and not a lot of character development... we could have shaved a few characters off and focused more on the fanboy backstory IMO...

If you liked the scream franchise and meta universe then you will possibly like this more tha I did.

Overall a t was nice to see some of the classic Friday fans in a new movie... I'm nostalgic about this franchise...

The ending was unexpected but a little sloppy and out of place...

See it for yourself... support this movie...

Not going to spend a lot of time on this review that will disappear into a sea of ominous perfect 10s. If you can get past the questionably executed self serving tongue in cheek script, and the choppy inconsistent editing, you too will get a small amount of entertainment from mostly cringy, non-plausible actions and dialogue. Fun to see a few old familiar faces show up from the franchise, and a few chuckles from Kelsey fright-punching her boyfriend a couple of times. A smile from the micro-gag reel, post credits.

Was this a fantastic movie? No it wasn't but it was nostalgic in a way and I liked seeing all of the original actors. I grew up in the '70s and '80s and watched all of the movies in the theater or drive-in even for some horror movies. Dee Wallace was great as usual. The acting overall wasnt that bad and for a low budget it could have been worse. I think what was lacking for me was the suspense but overall I was engaged for the duration. I applaud the efforts for them to put together this movie as I know it was a passionate project from the start and it took a lot of energy to put it together. Too bad they can't make a sequel and have other of the original actors in it. It keeps them employed and I think it is a great thing to do for the fans. I would probably see a sequel just to see how other original actors are holding up.
