My Special Boy

While some fan films have risen to the the top, we unfortunately are getting more and more that are absolutely atrocious. My Special Boy being one of them. The red flags should have flown with 5 embarrassing failed campaigns. But pushed on they did. You can tell this was shot on a low budget camera with horrible sound and worse editing. The Jason in this movie is BY FAR the worst in any fund raised fan film. His costume, his size, the cartoon hood were all such an insult to the series. With films such as NHA, Jason Rising and Vengeance having their Jason looks be spot on, this just shows the lack of passion and commitment to the project. He ran like a goofy idiot who just crapped his pants. This all makes sense coming from a director who paints his nails black, wears a mask in his car alone and loves posting feminine shots of himself daily. Get over yourself and work more on your craft. Possibly the worst fan film ever. Done there with Voorhees and His Name Was Jason.

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.

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.

For fans, made by fans. If you're delving into the world of little-to-no budget, independent horror fan films, then you've come to the right place!

This was truly a phenomenal movie that gives you everything you'd want out of a Friday the 13th film while not overstating it's welcome with the relatively short runtime. And the kills are gruesome and look extremely good with the limitations at hand. The practical effects look very real, and most important of all, Jason Voorhees is just...incredible. His design is just awesome, especially with how good the mask looks in this movie. This is a movie made by devoted fans to the franchise, and boy does it pay off!

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.
