When you think of Jason, you think of none other than death.

At the beginning when Jason gets up. He kinda reminds me of some people I know after a night of drinking.

This is a really good and unique Friday the 13th, fan film considering you don’t see many of them taking place after Freddy versus Jason really love what you guys did. It looks really good.

I went to scout camp at NO-BE-BO-SKO and slept in the same cabin and cot that Kevin Bacon got offed in. Last I heard, the lake reclaimed that area, so the opening story about the lake claiming then receding hit hard. This is my pre-watch comment, and I'm already psyched to watch this ish

As a fan, who is there on the opening day at a drive-in theater for Friday the 13th part 1… this was pretty amazing. Really well done. At this point, I don’t even know anymore if we need proper films from the studios. Because the fans are making films that look and feel every bit is good as them. It’s independent creators like you guys, that are keeping this franchise alive. Regardless of all the bickering that’s going on behind the scenes with Victor and Sean.

I love the anamorphic widescreen. You guys really did a good job at making this look like it was done on film.

I hope you guys and other people who are making these films, realize how much the fans appreciate them. Let me know if you guys are interested in making another. I have a treatment for a script that would make a great Friday film. Sort of a prequel to the films, but with a twist. I would love to flesh it out and work with you guys to get it done. I think fans would love it.

In any case, keep up the great work.

Did a good job making all the characters really unlikable, making the anticipation of their deaths all the more exciting, really like this war-torn esque version of Jason. The scenes of him walking about the woods, very atmospheric and dark, really dug it

Awesome job, wish we could add original theme song at every appearance but i understand why we cant. Tuff

To get revenge, Jason turns out to be a evil soul, the unstoppable killing machine.
