By no means a perfect film-far from it, in fact. This might be the worst performance I've specifically seen Sanae Loutsis give, which I'm willing to cut her some slack for simply based on her age, it just stood out in contrast with many of the others in the film who give solid performances. (Not a dig at Loutsis specifically, just that this movie wasn't her best.) The effects are shockingly good for the budget the film had, the camerawork is solid for the most part, and the kills were brutal. The biggest issue was definitely the script, both in story and some dialogue. The film often feels like it's struggling to tell a full story. The pacing is wildly inconsistent, ramping up and dying back down at several points. It introduces a lot of characters who, while are nowhere near survivor material, at least seem far more important than they actually end up being, and in some cases, get killed off only to be replaced by a character with the exact same role, making it feel much more like padding than anything else. Characters are introduced late in the film with no purpose other than upping the body count, which feels slightly cheap, and some of them suffer the aforementioned issue of feeling like they're going to be at least somewhat relevant only to be killed off five minutes later max. The dialogue often feels jarring and peculiar given the serious presentation of the film, and many of the character choices both in and out of universe feel lackluster. Ashley waiting in the cabin for several minutes while her father is struggling, doing nothing, is a prime example of this. As well, certain things feel wildly inconsistent within the story, such as Angelica seemingly dying but then being revealed to be alive, despite the fact that what happened to her not only *would* have killed someone else in the film, but actually *did* kill someone else within the film.

However, this movie should still be praised for being a labor of love. Sub-par acting and bad writing are par for the course with the Friday the 13th movies, and here it was done on a fraction of the budget, which definitely helps its case. It has a lot of fun in its runtime, which is more than can be said for some other films in the series, too. It definitely feels like a wrapping up point, I frankly don't see how a third one could be made, but given the status of "professional" releases to streaming services now, the fact that it was able to tell at least a semi-full story is still a godsend and makes a strong case for indie films in general. Above all that, making a movie is an incredibly difficult process that can be thankless and unrewarding at its worst, so the fact that this could be made at all is something truly magnificent. After all, even a bad story is better than one never told. In the words of Sam Raimi, the worst thing a filmmaker can do is make a boring picture. This definitely wasn't boring, so with all those merits, it's still a worthwhile watch for any fans.

How the hell is this a fan film? Not only it's a full length film, it's pretty damn good. Story is typical, Jason killing people. The production was very good, acting was good and the gore was very good. Not much more to ask for. Except maybe some nudity? LOL. It's really sad how this can be made. An actually pretty good horror movie and then the actual remakes are pretty bad. It's not perfect but way better than the recent reboots. Please, for the big movie companies, hire these guys and make a new good Friday the 13th movie. These guys know how to. I'm sure their budget was also very small. Save money and make money.

First off the cinematic quality of the film is amazing, all the characters in the film are unique and different, all the special effects are top notch, the VFX are great and the editing takes the icing on the cake. Actors performances were awesome, Jason moves and feels like Kane holder. Having CJ Graham as Jason again was awesome, and the little surprise at the end was crazzzy. I loved all of the different locations that were built or used in the filming of bloodlines. A huge shoutout to everyone involved and a special thanks to shawn loutsis and family. This along with roseblood are the way Friday the 13th films should be made.

Awesome movie it was better then the first one. Good kills, good story, and good character u can relate to. Love the flashback to part 6. Honestly it was a great movie all around. Love how the kills were gross and u can literally see the skeleton bones. Great costume design. Awesome special effects. Like I can really give this movie a 10 out of 10 bc it can literally beat some of the other f13 movies. And to the director and writer and everyone u guys did a fabulous job I honestly happy to say this bc u guys can really make it in the movie industry. And again so grateful u guys keep the franchise alive. Thanks u for this masterpiece.

Being a director myself I am sometimes critical of my own & others work. But I must say, I was blown away by this film. The story, direction & cinematography was off the charts. The last 20 minutes alone is up there with any F13 Canon film. The music was superb & the lead actors felt real and at times tear worthy. One of the final scenes had Jason morphing from Vengeance Jason, to Sack Jason and then finally Part VI Jason (who was played by C. J. Graham himself). It was a goosebump moment for any Jason Lives fan The duo of Brooks & Newton along with Shawn Loutsis keep getting better and better. I am honored to have been part of it.
