You don't have to understand all the old films to get this film, which is great because while I've seen all the originals over the years, I don't remember every detail of them and need to go back and watch them all again. That being said, this one was a lot of fun.
I especially liked the nice vintage feel to the film. Riley Lowden makes the colors feel a lot like an 80's film. The style in the shots are also very much old school, which is nice because it makes it fit in well with the originals and is something to appreciate.
Peter Anthony gives a standout performance. His intensity is great and you can see it in the eyes. Very important for a believable character. Of course Voorhees is always the star everyone comes to see rip his way through some poor folks who just can't seem to stay far away from that camp. Brent Edgett does a nice job bringing Jason to life.
Not long, but not too short, this one is an enjoyable film overall!
