Friday the 13th Vengeance 2: Bloodlines

Excellent movie and a dignified entry into the Voorhees universe, even though it's "just" a fan film. The movie picks up right where the first one ended and even though it starts out a bit slow, it pretty soon transforms itself into slay fest -22. Jason kills people in a wide variety of gory ways and he looks fantastic doing it. Hands, machete, axe, scythe and arrows, this killer is no stranger to the art of death and this film really puts his abilities on full display. It is also loaded with guest actors. Some, friday the 13th alumni themselves and others are just various people from the field of entertainment. The FX in this flick, besides being gory as all hell, are slightly above average and did satisfy this old gorehound. If you haven't gotten around to it yet, I strongly suggest that you do see it. Particularly if you are a fan of old "maggothead", low budget gore and a brutal A F killer in a hockeymask. It's an intense ride.

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!

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.

I have to admit that I was somewhat skeptical when I sat down to watch the 2022 movie "Vengeance 2: Bloodlines". But I am huge fan of the "Friday the 13th" movie franchise, so of course I had to sit down and watch this one as I had the opportunity.

And color me impressed. This 2022 movie really surprised me. It felt, looked and sounded like a true "Friday the 13th" movie, you know from around parts VI, VII and VIII era. And those movies are by far the better of the entire franchise. And "Vengeance 2: Bloodlines" felt like it belonged right in there. So thumbs up to the crew involved with the production and creation of this movie.

The storyline, as written by Jason Brooks and Kim Terreson, was entertaining, and again it was straight out of the "Friday the 13th" franchise. The storyline is simplistic and straight forward, and laced with an abundance of Jason Voorhees murder spree scenes, which is the reason for why we love the franchise, isn't it?

The acting in "Vengeance 2: Bloodlines" was good, and Jason Brooks - who wrote, directed and played Jason Voorhees - did a good job at portraying the iconic serial slasher. He had a lot of Kane Hodder's mannerisms nailed down, and while he was good, then he was no Kane Hodder. It is odd why Kane Hodder wasn't a part of this and donned the iconic hockey mask once more. It was a nice treat to see Thom Mathews return to the scene as Tommy Jarvis.

The music in the movie was good, and it was kept in the score similar to that of "Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives". And it worked so marvelously in favor of the tone of the movie.

There is an abundance of brutal killing scenes throughout the course of "Vengeance 2: Bloodlines", and it certainly was sufficient to please a seasoned gorehound such as myself.

Visually then "Vengeance 2: Bloodlines" is good. I like the special effects and make-up. It was clear that it was made by people with a sincere love and admiration of the "Friday the 13th" franchise.

"Vengeance 2: Bloodlines" was an enjoyable and entertaining surprise, and I was really impressed with the production, the feel and sound of this movie. They definitely captured the essence and spirit of the late 1980s "Friday the 13th" franchise.

If you enjoy watching Jason Voorhees on the screen and enjoy the "Friday the 13th" franchise, then you seriously have to sit down and watch director Jason Brooks' 2022 movie "Vengeance 2: Bloodlines".

My rating of "Vengeance 2: Bloodlines" lands on an eight out of ten stars.

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.
