FRIDAY THE 13TH-JASON NEMESIS

FRIDAY THE 13TH:JASON NEMESIS-What would it be like if The Blair Witch Project met Friday The 13th? Well, the result would be mighty similar to this film by Director Shane Drury and Elite Films. In the film three men go searching for a friend who went missing when He tried to track down Jason Voorhees at Camp Crystal Lake. The man wanted revenge since Jason murdered His sister. Overwhelmed in the maze of trees leading up to the gates of Camp Crystal Lake the three Men become visibly shaken when their guide abruptly refuses to enter into the trails of Crystal Lake. The two friends Max (played by Matthew Drury) and Bruce (played by Shane Drury) realize that it's now up to them to find their friend and possibly take out Jason if they can track Him down. This film follows the Friday The 13th formula to the "T", you know..one guy gets killed, than another, and another, and It's one guy or gal left to take on Jason. but it needed some fine tuning in spots..First off the film was waaaaay too long at over fifty minutes and needed some serious editing. the beginning scene alone stretches out for over ten minutes before the intro credits are even shown. the reason the film itself seems to drag on is because it takes place entirely in a wooded area. I know it's Camp Crystal Lake and all but there are no cabins or camp like sets to be seen, leaving the viewer a bit bored. That's where the Blair Witch comparison comes in. The viewer gets that claustrophobic feeling of not being able to escape. I know that's not necessarily a bad thing since this IS a Horror film, but it's not really Friday The 13th either. On the bright side the film does feature an authentic looking Jason (played by Steve Weighill) and gory killings that definitely fit the Friday The 13th mold. There is also some nice camera work featured, one scene in particular has You looking through the eyes of a terrified man on the run from Voorhees, the camera looks up, down, and all around making You feel dizzy and panicky at the same time as Voorhees approaches. I guess You could also add a first person shooter game or POV feel to the films list of comparrisons as well. In the end I would not call this a bad Friday the 13th Fan Film by any means, but it would have been all that more enjoyable with a little more editing.
