LoganCrews (2861 KP) rated Final Destination (2000) in Movies
Oct 3, 2020
In many places somewhat more awesome then I remember, but suffers on subsequent visits because of how increasingly over-the-top these immediately began to get with the deaths in the sequels compared to the more humble ones here - which still finds a morbidity in their simplicity, but no one's being cooked alive in a tanning bed, you feel? Still has a lot going for it, the garrote in the shower is every bit as grisly as you recall and remains one of the hardest-to-watch executions in the entire series. But what actually rings better for me this time around is the heavily portentous teen melodrama packed tight with insane amounts of hilarious foreshadowing and a palpable sense of fear + paranoia (through Wong's clean direction and these astute performances [Sawa in particular is real outstanding]) all over the fact that death just really fucking hates these kids lol. Accomplishes as much playful winking as is legal without going full meta. Still one of the all-timer horror movie premises which honestly should have spawned an infinite number of sequels, but the writing around it is genuinely ingenious here, too. Still prefer the sequels for being leaner and meaner though.
LeftSideCut (3778 KP) rated Never Hike in the Snow (2020) in Movies
Oct 23, 2020
My only gripe with this solid Friday the 13th short is that it's not longer. It's predecessor, Never Hike Alone, is double the length, and has a drawn out and tense build up before delivering the goods. This one however cuts straight to the gory exploits of Jason Voorhees, and does it style. The violence against the snowy back drop is visually striking, and seeing Jason (played intimidatingly once again by Director Vincente DiSanti) stomp around in a wintery setting is pretty spectacular.
Thom Mathews is back again as Tommy Jarvis, and this time round, Vincent Guastaferro returns as Rick Cologne, a character from Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives. The very fact that these actors are happy to do these shorts speaks volumes about the crew behind it.
DiSanti and Womp Stomp Films prove for a second time just how passionate they are about this franchise. They fully deserve the keys to a full film when all the copyright legal disputes have been resolved, and I for one would love to see what they could do with a big budget.
Overall, another solid effort, if brisk. If one were to watch this, immediately followed by Never Hike Alone, then that would be a feature length Friday the 13th fan film that rivals the best entries of the main film series.
