Never Hike in the Snow

Was a big fan of the Never Hike Alone short film so when I heard he was planning on doing a series of films featuring his "Ghost Jason" I jumped at the chance to support it.

The film is a great set up for his future films and def has the style and feel of the old classics. While light on kills, the brutality of the ones on screen are really memorable!

Can't wait for the next one!

I have seen many Fan Made Films and I feel that Hollywood could learn a lot from these Independent Film Makers. They have a fresh approach to things while Hollywood seems to be struggling for ideas. Great movie!!

The 2nd movie in the never hike series which takes place 3 months prior to "Never hike alone". Thom Mathews returning as tommy Jarvis in fan films is the best. With only a 30 min runtime the movie is over before u know it. Really well made by fans though and a nice fill in to what happened before the original .

Wow, that title's longer than the actual movie.

A "Fan film?" This was better made than several of the actual movies. And it was AMAZING. Great acting, wonderful surprises/throwbacks, visuals great, homage perfect and best of all: this is a sequel to my personal favorite Friday film: Part IV - Jason Lives. How cool/coincidental is that?

They put a lot into a mere 25-minute movie. No background is given; you have to be a fan, yourself, to know who Jason Voorhees is, his mother's head, how it got there, etc. But suffice to say, scary-hockey-masked maniac Jason is opposed to anyone in his woods whether there by chance or the hunt.

Only regret is that it's too short. You simply can't be a fan and not want to see an entire movie of this. Even with killer filler of a bunch of 1-dimentional young, horny adults that have nothing to do with the story.

YOU MUST SEE THIS. And I lied. Second regret: this wasn't included in the same-day released Deluxe Boxset. It would be my favorite extra.

Final thoughts: Even though this isn't a movie, I wonder where I'd rank it in a top 13 Friday list:

1 Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives 2 Friday the 13th Part III 3 Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter 4 Friday the 13th Part 2 5 Friday the 13th (1980) 6 Never Hike in the Snow - A Friday the 13th Fan Film 7 Freddy vs. Jason 8 Friday the 13th (2009) 9 Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood 10 Jason X 11 Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning 12 Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday 13 Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan

This is fantastic just like the last was. I don't know how Hollywood can throw millions in to these and come up with a far inferior product than this fan film. I loved that the deputy from 6 is back alongside Tommy in this one. 6 is my favourite Friday's and it's great to see a continuation of that.
