Voorhees Night of the Beast

Seriously, the best thing that may have happened to the Friday the 13th franchise, was the lawsuit. The fans have really stepped up to the plate, to deliver some fun franchise entries, and Night of the Beast is no exception.

The movie looks fantastic for micro budget, it actually looks pretty damm good for a movie in general. The kills are fun and gory, Jason Stokes kills it as the man behind the mask... and its got frickin Bigfoot. Its free on YouTube, so give it a watch.

My favorite thing about fan films is they are made by folks who care about paying homage to the original movie series and tell a story firmly planted at a specific part of the timeline. This one is great! It's a fresh idea that is a lot of fun. Easter eggs are plentiful if you're a true horror nerd. Well worth a watch or five.

Great movie. Awesome effects. Great monsters. Acting was awesome, especially Will Reed, Alivia Disney, and Xavier Jones. To the person complaining about Jason's size Jason was only tall when Ken Kirzinger played him. Otherwise he was always normal size. The actor in the hockey mask(James stokes) and in the Bigfoot costume(Madman Fulton) deserve the utmost credit for the job they did. Writer/director Jason Pitts did an amazing job seamlessly blending in Bigfoot into Jason's world. Regardless of what the one negative reviewer said the characters were well fleshed out and the acting was top notch. And here's something that you don't hear often: A Friday the 13th movie WITH A STORY! Wow. Give an hour of your time and find this on YouTube. We'll worth your time.

Since the official franchise is stuck in legal purgatory, it is awesome to witness true fans saving the day with Friday the 13th fan films such as this.

Voorhees Night of the Beast is the crème of the crop when it comes to the latest batch of Friday fan films. You can tell everyone involved with the production was truly passionate about the project. Every ounce of the micro-budget was used to make this a truly fun experience to watch as a Friday the 13th fan.

The quality of the production looks better than most of the straight to DVD or VOD movies I have watched lately. The outdoor sequences including the final confrontation between the two main attractions looks amazing.

Writer/director Jason Pitts went out of his way to create a film which pays full respect to the legendary horror franchise. The script is full of callbacks to multiple films in the franchise and brings back several characters which really gave this an official Friday the 13th feel.

There are two standout performances in this film. The actor playing Jason Vorhees takes a lot of cues from Kane Hodder in his portrayal of the Crystal Lake legend and he really gets physical in the role. Alivea Disney shines as one of the main protagonists. She steals the spotlight in all of her scenes. This actress is ready for prime time. I hope to see her in more films very soon.

If you want to have fun again with a Friday the 13th film, you can't go wrong with Voorhees Night of the Beast. Please support these idependent horror films any way you can. Let's Go.

Voorhees Night of the Beast is a great micro budget indie horror that punches well above its weight. Well written and well acted by a great cast, it's an all around solid movie. The pacing is good, it never lags. The practical effects are well done and there are LOTS of kills. The movie looks and sounds good. Jason looks fantastic! Unlike many low budget indie movies, the sound mixing is very well done. At just one hour long, it's the perfect length for an indie horror. If you're a fan of Friday the 13th, or bigfoot, definitely check out this movie on YouTube!
