Friday the 13th Vengeance 2: Bloodlines

The look is great. The sound and music is great. The cast is wonderful and the story is inventive. One or two small knit picks, but overall this was a wonderful additional to Friday the 13th. CJ Graham, Darcy Demoss, Tom McLoughlin, Thom Mathews all Part VI alumni returning to be a part of this. A few other notables as well. Jason Brooks wrote a fantastic script and really showed his abilities as a director AND he played Jason Voorhees! I would trust these people with any future project. What a great ride! It did not feel like nearly two hours. I also can't wait to have the DVD as part of my collection. This will be a multiple watch film for me.

I don't know what I expected, I think I assumed the worst but I didn't think it would actually be this bad.

The acting is school nativity play level.

The visuals are bowling shoe ugly.

The script is terrible, it doesn't know if it wants to be super serious or comedic and some of the lines I have to assume were contributions from the writers kid because I struggle to believe that an adult wrote that.

Jason looks awful, when he turns to the side you can see these dreadful oversized plastic teeth that are so far from believable it looks like something out of a Hammer Horror movie.

And then the guy who plays Voorhees dad? Wow, don't ever let him in front of a camera again!

With the tremendous challenges that face indie films, V2:B deserves rewatching much more so than many films on the big streaming platforms. On top of it containing a good balance of action, camp, fun-gore and characters, the tributing in this film to the series will draw you in to wanting to know more about it all. Special mentions: the performances of Kelly Tappan & Morgen Johnson - if the result of their work doesn't make you think 'That role was made for them'... see my opening comments and get back to me. And of course congratz to Jason Brooks and ALL of the VERY large crew and cast. The wrap party must have been a BLAST!

I thoroughly enjoyed this film,good story and great characters,plus good effects for a fan film .cj graham is awesome as Jason's father. I enjoyed it more than the the first film.the body count is high and Jason brooks plays jason very well,there are a lot of good kills in the film,and the effects are a lot better than the recent jeepers creepers film.jason brooks direction is good and I look forward to see what he does next.definitely watch this film you won't be disappointed ,a lot of people slate fan films but until they bring Jason back to the big screen these are the only way to see Jason in new stories thanks to these talented people.

Hardly a love letter to the original Friday films, this badly acted and completely loveless Spin-off. Jason is boring instead of the menacing killing machine we all love. The characters are utterly stupid, and there is not even the slightest trace of suspense to be found. I guess the people that gave this film high ratings, were involved in the making of this film. I give 2 stars only for a few nice kills, and the appereance of Thom Matthews. A sleep inducing mess. Compared to this movie Jason Goes To Hell looks like a masterpiece. Obviously the first part is even worse, so I won't even bother to watch that.
