Friday the 13th Vengeance 2: Bloodlines

This film hits on so many different levels. The way the camera work was done is top notch quality and the expressions displayed from the characters keeps you on the edge of your seat.

If you're a horror fan, Friday the 13th fan or Jason Voorhees fan then this one is for you!

This review is coming from a horror lover and someone who has been in love with the F13 franchise for nearly 30 years of my life.

The cast and characters poured their heart into their roles and you can tell scene by scene as to how important this film was to each of them. You won't be disappointed!

You wanna definitely watch this and dig right in... don't forget your popcorn!

With the tremendous challenges that face indie films, V2:B deserves rewatching much more so than many films on the big streaming platforms. On top of it containing a good balance of action, camp, fun-gore and characters, the tributing in this film to the series will draw you in to wanting to know more about it all. Special mentions: the performances of Kelly Tappan & Morgen Johnson - if the result of their work doesn't make you think 'That role was made for them'... see my opening comments and get back to me. And of course congratz to Jason Brooks and ALL of the VERY large crew and cast. The wrap party must have been a BLAST!

Hardly a love letter to the original Friday films, this badly acted and completely loveless Spin-off. Jason is boring instead of the menacing killing machine we all love. The characters are utterly stupid, and there is not even the slightest trace of suspense to be found. I guess the people that gave this film high ratings, were involved in the making of this film. I give 2 stars only for a few nice kills, and the appereance of Thom Matthews. A sleep inducing mess. Compared to this movie Jason Goes To Hell looks like a masterpiece. Obviously the first part is even worse, so I won't even bother to watch that.

If you are put off of watching this one because of the first movie, don't be! This one is so much better I never would have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself! This one rivals the Never Hike Alone movies! A certain flashback to one of the actual Paramount movies later on in the movie is PERFECTLY executed!! Both the impeccable job on the costume and the fact that the very star who played the role to begin with having so well-replicated his performance from over 35 years ago make it surreal to watch!! The movie also outstrips any of the official Fridays in terms of brutality, in case that's your thing, besides containing plenty of familiar faces from the Paramount movies, other horror franchises, and even the world of music!

The look is great. The sound and music is great. The cast is wonderful and the story is inventive. One or two small knit picks, but overall this was a wonderful additional to Friday the 13th. CJ Graham, Darcy Demoss, Tom McLoughlin, Thom Mathews all Part VI alumni returning to be a part of this. A few other notables as well. Jason Brooks wrote a fantastic script and really showed his abilities as a director AND he played Jason Voorhees! I would trust these people with any future project. What a great ride! It did not feel like nearly two hours. I also can't wait to have the DVD as part of my collection. This will be a multiple watch film for me.
