Sweet Revenge

This is pretty bad an insult to Jason and Friday the 13th as a whole this just a bland advertisement for apple orchard alcoholic cider and even though it subtle it still a disappointment like how Jason is this skinny guy in a hockey mask with no menace at all. I just feel bad for the Friday the 13th IP since it just a marketing gimmick at this point with the HHN house to this ad it feel like no one cares anymore ,ore it just sad at this point.

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.

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.

This short film offered an intriguing interpretation of Jason and the Friday the 13th franchise. While Jason's current appearance is somewhat thin, for a cinematic adaptation, he would benefit from a more robust physique. The story itself was captivating enough for a short film format, and Crystal Lake looks great, just as you'd expect. This serves as a promising foundation for further exploration and development.

Director writer Mike P. Nelson' offers just over fifteen minutes, The Jason Universe: Sweet Revenge wastes no time delivering carnage with stunning efficiency. The practical gore and effects are executed with impressive flair, making the most of a tight budget to deliver visceral, blood-drenched thrills that fans of the slasher genre will appreciate.

Lead actress Ally Ioannides (as Eve) brings compelling strength and presence to the screen, guiding the chaos with control and charisma. She anchors the short with a proactive, emotional core that elevates the body count with real stakes.

Stepping into the hockey mask is Schuyler White, who delivers the kind of physicality and menace worthy of the franchise's legacy. His movements have the weight and deliberation of classic Jason, making him a fitting heir to the role's long tradition. Incidentally, Chris Carlson's Harold oddly gives Robert Englund vibes.

While the short doesn't have the gritty VHS feel, or film grain, it harnesses that original Jason ambiance with purposeful pacing, shadowy menace, and well-timed scares. There's a modern polish-akin to the 2009 Friday reimagining-but the spirit of the early films pulses just beneath the surface.

Nods to the franchise are peppered throughout-from familiar kill setups to sly narrative references-enough to feel like a loving wink to long-time fans. Add in a couple of clever twists, and you get a sharp little narrative that still manages to build momentum.

The finale hits you with a cliffhanger of sorts, leaving plenty of room for speculation and appetite for more. And then-the end credits roll to Sugar and Spice's 'I've Changed' an ironic and fittingly twisted choice that underlines the film's playful tone.

For fans of Crystal Lake carnage, Sweet Revenge is a brisk, blood-soaked treat - a short that understands the rules of its universe and plays with them just enough to keep you hooked. Well worth checking out.
