Never Hike Alone 2 takes the threads from Never Hike Alone and Never Hike in the Snow and ties them up in a gruesome little bow, delivering the splatter we want with added depth. The franchise gives a great Ghost Jason while layering in community trauma, family ramifications, all the things that would happen with a slasher but are seldom touched on. Tommy Jarvis returns to have a "final" battle with Jason, continuing on the franchise canon while blazing a new trail. The cinematography and filmmaking are great. The actors are talented. And the story strikes the right balance between violence and substance. It is the rendition of Jason and Camp Crystal Lake that we have needed for a long time.
