7/10
Flawed but decent

GOOD: For a low-budget fan film, it does a great job of building suspense and making Jason seem actually scary for the first time in a while. Most of the Friday sequels were just downright ridiculous and it's nice to see Jason actually be scary again. The acting from the one and only character is also decent.

BAD: Suffers from some of the same cliche' horror movie lack of realism that many others do. Specifically, the main character spends a lot of time crawling for some reason when there's no reason he can't just get up and run. At one point he gets a cut on his leg which, yeah looks kinda bad and painful, but in no way would it ever stop someone who's running for their life from getting up and continuing to run. But it does and for some reason this gash on his leg causes him to just start crawling, again, instead of getting up and sprinting away as anyone else would do.

Overall, it's far better than most of the Friday sequels and actually helped to reignite my love for the franchise that's really diminished over recent years. Apparently the makers behind this are making a prequel to this film called "Never Hike in the Snow" which I'm excited to see. 7/10
