Oh my gosh, where do I even start? I helped support this film two years ago, and it was definitely worth the wait. The cinematography alone is worth the watch. Just the first five minutes are beautiful to look at. Very colorful! This would be the perfect film to watch in October. There were many nods and easter eggs to past Friday movies. The movie itself is only an hour long, but it's jam-packed with atmosphere, great kills, great storyline, great gore, great practical effects, and a great twist in the end that I never saw coming! It was totally kept a secret, and I squealed when the moment came. Jason is very cool looking and scary. The film even has a decapitated Mrs. Voorhees wandering around Crystal Lake and killing people.
The film is set after the events of Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter. Jason has been buried for years, and things have been quiet around Crystal Lake. Soon, three convicted felons break out of prison and being hunted by Jed and Bear, with the help of Sheriff Daltry and Deputy Eve Glover. The felons enter the long abandoned Camp Crystal Lake, and Jason is no longer dormant. With the help of his ghost/zombie/decapitated mother, he's resurrected and ready to kill again. (This has one of the best kills in the series, that's similar to a death in Mortal Kombat)
If you're a die-hard Friday the 13th fan, please treat yourself to this fan film. It's free on Youtube right now. Curl up in a blanket for an hour and enjoy the epicness. These guys did a lot of hard work to give us a great film, and it was worth it. There are many nods to the other films, and possibly an Evil Dead reference. I would highly recommend JASON RISING: A FRIDAY THE 13TH FAN FILM!!!
