The Fall of Camp Blood (2022)
COVID-19 and lawsuit can't stop Jason, nor the greatest fans around!
Taking place after Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (yes, the irony) which was the 4th Friday the 13th film but the 3rd featuring Jason Voorhees as the killer, this is the first fan film to give us more of a pre-zombified Jason. What does this mean?
Yes, we're back to the 80's, baby! You thought that little kid, Tommy Jarvis, killed Jason? Think again. Slash 'n Cast's Riley Lorden and Nic Christian have worked together with Griffin Thatcher to give us a new story and a must-see Final Chapter for our fan favorite living Jason Voorhees.
Don't expect any returning cast members from the original Friday the 13th films for this, but if you're a fan of Vengeance, Rose Blood, or other fan films then you'll probably recognize some of those involved.
Shot in Byron, Illinois near Wisconsin there is some beautiful scenery in this film, and it feels very fitting for a Friday the 13th film. I recommend that you look carefully for any Easter eggs, and there are definitely some goofs in the film which are fun to discover.
For example, how drunk is that guy in the garage? Does he realize that beer can has a hole in the bottom of it?
Anyway, you can tell they all had a blast in making this film, and they clearly made this film for the fans. If you're already a fan, then check it out. This is the true part 5. Sorry Roy!
Halloween (2018)
One of the funniest movies ever made!
Walking into the movie I had no clue how funny this movie would be! We have a 70 year old actor returning as The Shape who is 5'10" and 170 lbs who is all of a sudden changed out with a younger actor who is 6'3" and 210 lbs. Stuck in my mind is that these people are being killed by this old man who somehow grew mid-film and is all of a sudden 10 years younger but still an old fart.
Also how many times does Jamie Lee Curtis' Laurie Strode have to die? This time around she's not even related to Michael. The writers/director want us to accept that none of the other films post-Halloween (1978) ever happened. Not until Halloween II was it revealed that they were related. Well, now The Shape is back for his revenge, and Laurie has spent 40 years preparing for this moment. Again, really?!
If it were not for all of the laughs I had in the expense of this terrible film this would tread into The Curse of Michael Myers territory. This is a film that should never have happened. Michael Myers/The Shape doesn't need any more films. If someone is going to make a film they should do something more original like Rob Zombie aspired to do. This is just more of the same from the first Halloween, but it's far too late. Horror fans may enjoy the fact that there's more kills in this film though.
