My Special Boy

For a fan film it's executed superbly, the production team has done a great job making this and everyone behind the scenes has done great to make this seem like a genuine movie, all but two of the actors did pretty decent jobs. The two not greats where the first victim, but the second is whomever plays Jason. His mask is a mask, but the rest of his costume looks as bad as his portrayel of Jason. Either they tried to be original, or the guys never seen a F13th film in his life.

Where this movie goes compleyly wrong is that it's not a fan made sequel, it's a remake. A retelling of the 2009 version pretty much by combining part 1 as flash backs and jumping straight into the character of Jason wearing a hockey mask.

No one wanted a F13th remake then, and this movie is certainly no exception.

I'd have given it 4 stars, but the YouTube channel it's featured on is full of fake comments praising every detail of the film, which is just an insult to peoples intelligence if they think doing that is going to trick anyone into liking the movie. I haven't checked yet, but I'm sure they got the same fake reviewers to post a few here too. With that kind of low deceitful promoting scam, I will not be recommending anyone bother checking this film out. Even without the deceit, it contains bad blood FX and no entertaining kills anyway that people love about slasher films. They might have done a decent job of making it, but it's still honestly nothing you'll kick yourself for skipping.

There's no denying that Camp Crystal Lake has a dark history, one that Sean Orton tries to ignore. Despite being warned not to return to camp, Sean's desire to save the family name from him turns out to be even stronger. Sean renames the camp Trinity Pointe Camp, and with a group of friends he tries to rebuild the camp into a safe haven without trace of tragedy. But the evil that still lingers on the camp grounds has some lessons to teach them: history always repeats itself, and revenge is a dish best served cold. Despite warnings from him, he tries to save the family name from him by reopening it as Camp Trinity Pointe. He gathers a group of friends to help rebuild the camp and prevent another tragedy from occurring, but there is an evil that haunts the camp and seeks revenge.

My Special Boy, is the latest fan film to hit YouTube, following the success of the Never Hike Alone series and Voorhees.

This is the most passionate Jason fan film I've seen, the makers of it clearly are fans of the franchise and it shows.

The story and characters feel right out of the movies with some updates, (Why did Levi take off his shirt suddenly when he wanted to fight?) Chad Sumner's portrayal of Jason was very intense and some of you are complaining he's too small and skinny to play him..Yeah..remember sack headed Jason from Part 2?

He was a normal sized guy and he still was imposing and Chad did a fantastic job playing him.

Everyone else did a wonderful job as well and its a solid addition to the series.

It looks visually pretty good and the music is suprisingly impressive. I know it's a fan film but I've seen a lot of other fan films that just do it better. I didn't really care for Grim's other work The Devil's Autumn so I didn't have high expectations for this one. This film lacks anything that allows it to stand out from the rest and the acting is bad.

I also CAN'T STAND this portrayal of Jason! The actor doesn't have the Jason look and it feels insulting. Look around Youtube and you will see there are better versions of Jason.

You can do better James! But you need better people around you.

I had not seen this one before and it was fairly decent! The story is simple, in that another group of camp counsellors are opening another new camp on Crystal Lake and Jason shows up, but the acting is quite good from some of the cast! The production quality is above average for what you would expect from a fan film. It's not quite Never Hike Alone (2017) but that fan film is the exception and not the rule.

Some of the kills are off screen with bodies discovered later but there are some solid special make-up effects here too and for a 60 minute story it breezes along. If you're itching for a Jason fix and haven't seen this yet, you could absolutely do worse!

Clearly made by those with a passion for the Friday the 13th franchise, My Special Boy is a fun bitesized homage to the most iconic slasher from the 80s.
