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.
