Voorhees (2020 Video) User Reviews

Its a fan film

[tapray · 6/10 · 2 November 2020]

Try to keep in mind this is a fan film. And after watching the credits, essentially a one man crew.

This was a lot of work, and for what it is wasnt bad. Cool jason, decent kills, friday type characters. The soundtrack sometimes is off key and well as the audio output. But hey guys "fan film". The acting isn't great but hey, again its just a fan film. Turn your brain off for a while and enjoy yourselves. Or don't.

Decent.

[MikeHunt1075 · 5/10 · 4 February 2021]

If you're a diehard Jason fan and want a new Friday adventure, this will suffice. Its no master peice and I would recommend "Vengence" over this one, but this one has a lot of nice shots, is made well and does the franchise no harm... so consider it unofficial canon or not. It's ok for at least one viewing.

Voorhees: Near the bottom of the Friday 13th fan film barrel

[Platypuschow · 2/10 · 8 March 2024]

Plot

Following a successful bank heist, a group of criminals flee to the now abandoned Camp Crystal Lake with the idea of hiding from the law until dawn.

Cast

Not familiar with anybody involved.

Verdict

I'm binge watching Friday 13th fan films, I've come across the good, the bad, the ugly, the truly moronic, the shilled into oblivion on the site and the ones that defy logic in every way imaginable.

Voorhees is one of the worst as it's the bad and the ugly.

The concept, sound enough but the execution fails on every conceivable level. Jason looks poor, the kills are terrible, the pacing is all over the place and it really would have been better suited as a short film anyway.

There are more fan films out there than you may realize, skip this one, most definitely skip the Vengeance films and instead just go watch Don't Hike Alone 1 & 2.

Rants

If you don't have the budget to do something, don't do it. Not got two bobs to rub together, make a romantic comedy, make a drama, make a thriller but something that requires absolutely no effects. No elaborate costumes, creatures, fight sequences, cgi or anything. This right here, is why following that advice is essential

Breakdown

Really ugly Pacing is way off Jason looks poor Writing is pretty dire.

Wouldn't recommend

[slasherbloodyfun · 1/10 · 2 November 2020]

Sadly this movie did not meet the hype. I accept that indie horror movies will have their faults but this movie had only a few redeeming qualities. The concept of a bunch of robbers using camp crystal lake as a hide out was good but the concept was poorly executed. Character development was poor, the story was poorly written and the few actors with some personality were killed early or in the movie for mere minutes. Camp Crystal lake was unrecognizable with most of the action occurring in what appeared to be a horse barn. I liked the look of the masked Jason (minus the hood and hands) but he was only in the movie for 10-15 minutes probably and most of his kills were off screen. The color quality, lighting and sound are bad. The score was over powering in many scenes. I would not recommend this movie.

Interesting Plot, Poor Acting

[bajmba · 3/10 · 1 November 2020]

First, I understand this is a fan film. But when you see Never Hike fan films bring in people who have more than an ounce of acting talent, and help a Jason movie succeed, you understand why this was so cringe inducing. The only good was seeing Jason, when finally arrived. By then, I wanted him to put me out of my misery!

FANtastic

[schilder-176-917354 · 9 November 2020]

This is the first FAN film I got into and to follow this from the early days of production I am so impressed with the result. A big hand to Cody and cast/crew I really enjoyed it - blood, gore and good story a great homage to the franchise well done 👍

Not a Jason film

[xfpro · 2/10 · 6 November 2020]

Not a Jason film. I say again, NOT A JASON FILM. Some guy is pretending to be Jason. The kills are not Jason kills. Jason does not kill off screen. The effects are good. The acting is silly. Sex scene is poor. The writing is not good. The ending is stupid. This is only a Jason film to get people to watch. It was free, but at the cost of my interest. This is not a Jason film.

AWESOME MOVIE!!

[greenie-67327 · 10/10 · 14 November 2020]

I loved it.. For a fan movie I thought it was fantastic.. Great story line and plenty of action.. Cody did an amazing job.. Definitely looking forward to his next movie..

This could've been a legit Friday the 13th film!

[jholland-95983 · 7/10 · 17 November 2020]

Let me start off by saying, for a fan film, this is great! This movie could easily rival the others. This movie is actually better than a couple of the Friday the 13th movies. The storyline was really good, the murder scenes were brutal and terrifying, and the acting wasn't half bad either. Whoever wrote and directed this movie should totally think about doing another one.

College-y drama film

[acanacox · 2/10 · 1 November 2020]

This was in my recommended while watching horror movies~ I'm a super freak for Jason! But good god this was cringe! It looks like some kids got their camcorder and started recording for their college portfolio! Acting scenes is pretty lame. Gore scenes seem cheap! Sorry but you gotta work on where you get your gore makeup. Camera angle just screams "amateur creators". Some angles looked like I was playing GTA. Lighting for so called tension-full scenes is pretty juvenile......sound effects for gore horrendous.

Simply~ college kids playing with camcorders, acting, lighting,sound effects for the first time. Had to end early

Very good movie!!

[mochame-66606 · 8/10 · 9 November 2020]

I really enjoyed this movie. Loved the beginning that takes you back to the original Friday the 13th. Its not a big Hollywood production but a film made for fans on a much smaller budget. Horror fans will love it. Thanks for a great movie!

Painful.... but mostly for the viewer

[andre-sparkes · 3/10 · 14 November 2020]

I had high hopes for this one from all the hype but the painfully bad acting and poor writing just made it too hard to watch. I kept checking to see how much was left just so I could say I watched the whole thing. It just goes on and on. People say you can't have too much of a good thing, but in this case it was waaaay too much of a bad thing. The kills (except for one disemboweling) were unoriginal and some physically didn't even make much sense. One girl is dragged by a chain and hung and is coughing up so much blood that wouldn't be possible with just injury to her neck. One guy is lifted off the ground by Jason and held up by just his hand, which is fine, but when let go just slowly slides against the wall down to the ground. I know this was done by the director for dramatic effect but are we supposed to ignore gravity of a lifeless body. One guy was beaten and then burned alive but when found later by the police you can clearly see the pulse in his neck throbbing. The eyes and brain can only ignore so many facts before it just looks silly. I liked the look of Jason...especially since the look was clearly taken from the "Never Hike Alone" series. The director tried too hard with the lighting too with all the reds and such, less is more. And why did Jason's Mom stop Jason from killing one of the girls? They don't touch on that at all. What happened to "Kill them all Jason, kill them all." There was no reasonable explanation why that girl was spared at that moment. No resemblance like Ginny did, no vision appearing to him, just a voice from the shrivelled head. If you're going to choose to spare a character like that you actually need to show some reasoning besides you want her for the last scene. The concept of a bunch of criminals hiding out on Jason's turf wasn't a bad idea, just not executed well unfortunately.

very very bad

[sadkaban · 1/10 · 2 March 2022]

I never thought it would be this bad.sad end to a good movie series.wretched....sean s. Cunnigham.steve miner.joseph zito danny steinmann..where are you now.

Gory good time

[ogreruiner · 10/10 · 1 November 2020]

Fast paced. Fun, original story. Decent acting. Plenty of gore. And Jason is a juggernaut. Completely mean spirited and brutal. Like Jason? You'll like this.

One of the best Jason Voorhees movies ever!

[tyler-treague · 9/10 · 2 November 2020]

The entire cast and crew killed it in this movie! They did a fantastic job with such a limited budget as a fan film. I can only imagine what they could of done with more equipment and more money. You need to spend your time to watch this movie, you won't regret it!

Loved it!

[smithderek-96171 · 10/10 · 2 November 2020]

Definently worth the watch, it will keep you going till the very end with plenty of twists you may not see coming.

Absolutely brilliant

[anotherdowney · 10/10 · 2 November 2020]

Loved it. The director, actors and everyone behind the scenes did a fabulous job on this film. A must watch with loads of thrills and chills. Can't wait to see what they do next.

Awesome movie!!!

[shorty-98271 · 8/10 · 2 November 2020]

From a Jason fan from the first movie, I'm so happy to finally see someone give Jason the life that he had back in the 80s!!! This film kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end!!!! Hands down one of the best Friday the 13th films I've seen since the older ones!!!

Bloodly, Gruesome, Awesome

[heathermryan · 10/10 · 2 November 2020]

Great Actors, great storyline, lots of blood. Just all around awesome! Love the ending!

Amazing gore fest of a movie

[andreaharris0846 · 10/10 · 2 November 2020]

An absolute must watch. The kills are phenomenal. The cinematography was great. The story line was unexpected and awesome. Overall a amazing movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Cant wait to see more work from wet paint pictures and AmoSFX that did the special effects for this movie.

First time charmer

[rbbaby · 10/10 · 2 November 2020]

Cody Faulk you and your team nail it man ! grotesque kills, very nice angles and the score and sounds fit very nicely... keep in mind this was an amateur fan film and it focuses on JASON VOORHEES the STAR !!

MIND = BLOWN

[stephanie_whetzel · 10/10 · 4 November 2020]

The amount of effort is clear to see!! The face reveal was amazing!! AmoSFX was on point with all the make up effects! My 13 year old son is also a fan of the movie!! Definitely plan on sharing to my friends and family!! 47k views in 2 days?!?!! Just wow!!

Enjoyed the film.

[gsdwarf · 9/10 · 9 November 2020]

GREAT film. Only one complaint V does a hit an run. He doesn't DO multiple Strikes on a captured target. That is what makes him not a bully type killer (he tries to kill you in one), but a straight I know I'm in the right killer. For the ones who think he is wrong... he died because people were not doing right.

Jason hits hard.

[aglunchbox · 10/10 · 2 November 2020]

Awesome fan film. Cody and the crew did a great job. Worth the time to watch.

Not to Shabby.

[treakle_1978 · 8/10 · 1 November 2020]

Jason is back and this time bank robbers are going where they shouldn't. Along with a local sheriff and deputies will they survive the night? Well I definitely recommend you watch this movie and find out.
