Sweet Revenge

Sweet Revenge (2025) is a horror short film starring Jason Voorhees and it was written and directed by Mike P. Nelson. I just got done watching the short film on YouTube and it was good.

Positives for Sweet Revenge (2025): Mike P. Nelson showed me that he is clearly a fan of the Friday the 13th franchise as this short film feels like a Friday the 13th movie. The short is shot and directed very well. You get everything you come to a Friday the 13th movie for and more. Schuyler White does a great job as Jason Voorhees and he is very intimidating. There are some good kills with great practical gore effects. And finally, I can definitely see this short film getting a couple of sequel on YouTube.

Negatives for Sweet Revenge (2025): This is a short film, so you don't get to watch a lot of things happen. While I did enjoy this short film, I also wanted more from it. And finally, the ending of this short was very anti-climatic as it cuts off at what could've been a great battle.

Overall, Sweet Revenge (2025) is a fun horror film and a great love letter to the Friday the 13th franchise. If you love this franchise, then you can go on YouTube and watch the short film right now.

This is not a short film. It is a commercial for Angry Orchard beer.

The "film" wasn't made to be a horror movie, it wasn't meant to be art. It is a cynical product meant to shill other products.

This is disrespectful to everyone who worked on the previous Friday the 13th movies and all the loyal fans.

Look I'm excited for any new F13 content, but let's jast hope Mike P. Nelson doesn't touch the new movie or series. Who knew there could be so many plot holes and "huh?" moments in just 13 minutes. And that Jason just isn't the guy... He looked more like a meth head than an unstoppable undead man-child. The mask looks ridiculous too, like a life size Funko pop. The bar was so low that all they had to do was trip over it and we'd be ok but they walked completely around it.

Ok, it's not as bad as i was thinking it would be but this type of movie (slasher) can't or almost always can't be (or SHOULDN'T BE!) crammed into a 13 minute short.

I do give this short film credit for having music that is OVERTLY Harry Manfredini-ish (some parts seemed to be bordering on copyright infringement-ish). But the music in this majorly helps the film in every way. As much as i love the 2009 reboot F13, i do wish they had brought Manfredini in to score that film (or at least use music in it similar to this short film's music).

Ally Ioannides who plays Eve in this short film also played Tilda in "Into The Badlands"!! I've adored her ever since that show!

Big question, why didn't Jason kill her if he actually did pull her under the water?

Oddly enough Jason is hardly even shown in these 13 minutes. Lol.

And why did she have 2 major black eyes when she came back to the campsite (or why was she sporting the Ricky Raccoon/"smokey eyes" eye makeup look? Lol).

Lastly there should have been at least one or 2 more onscreen kills. I think there's only 1 on screen kill (that i do admit was pretty cool!). But again, an F13/Jason projects SHOULD NOT BE A MERE 13 MINUTE SHORT FILM. It's a waste of IP and character, etc.

Going into to this I had little expectations. The fact that it's a short movie is the main reason. However with that said this is beautifully shot. The location is gorgeous and the characters are very good. The final girl is really good and I loved the ending. If this is what we can expect movie forward I'm all in. Jason looks intimidating and the shot of him picking up the girl was scary good. I would've liked to had seen a few more kills but other than that this was very intense and well made. Tim Treakle.
