Plot
Elias Voorhees (C. J. Graham) is back and has plans for his undead son Jason Voorhees (Jason Brooks) that involve bringing an end to the Jarvis family once and for all.
Cast
Same creators, a few of the first films cast and Friday 13th Thom Matthews makes an appearance.
Verdict
I need to say two things straight out of the gate.
1) Friday the 13th Vengeance (2019) was quite frankly offensive, an absurdly terrible film that was an absolute insult to the fans and I couldn't wash the mental stain it left for weeks afterwards.
2) This is shilled into oblivion, I despise it when people do that. Check the reviews, check the profiles of those saying it's incredible, Jason is "Back" and the suspicious consistent director praise by name.
Right, now I have that out the way let's get to it. I expected more of the same, I expected this to be dire but surprisingly it wasn't and has a fair few bits going for it. Sadly those bits are held back by many of the flaws made in the first film.
Is it loyal to the source material? I suppose.
Is it very gory and has some interesting enough deaths? Sure Is the cinematography better than the last film? Absolutely
But here's the problem, much of the dialogue is juvenile and comes across as if it were written by a high school student, the acting ranges from average down to appalling, some people just shouldn't have been in this film or any film for that matter.
An example of how bad the dialogue is includes a moment where a corpse has donated his "Member" to science and we have a scene where it's removed and put in a jar. I can only assume this was meant to be comedic relief? It was stupid.
Bad writing, bad acting and shilled into next week. This is miles better than the first film but still not something I could confidently recommend to anybody, not even hardcore Friday 13th fans.
Rants
I hate shilling, I mean I really really really hate shilling. Last time I came across shilling this bad was the Fear Footage movies and to be fair that trilogy is on par with the first Vengeance movie, absolutely dire. I mean what is the point? I don't understand. And furthermore how stupid do they think people are? The wording is the same, you can tell it's the same people, they always fawn over the director by name which is very telling, they're always stupidly over the top with their praise and the profiles they come from have no other activity, minimal activity or just other reviews for coincidentally the same directors films. It's embarrassing, stop it.
Breakdown
Some decent deaths A few interesting lore moments Decent enough soundtrack Some very poor acting Terrible dialogue.
