Review: Jason Universe: sweet revenge – new mask … that’s it too Cinemax
Friday, the 13th franchise, has always gone a fine line between blood-sized spectacle and character-driven slasher storytelling. Unfortunately, Jason Universe: sweet revenge Shows how far the needle has tipped in the wrong direction. The short form entry is deleted by a meaningful narrative and plays less like a legitimate episode in a legendary series as a devastating highlight role of inventive kills. Without a substance to earth his characters, the film sacrifices the tension and fear that Jason Voorhees once defined legacy.
The decision to reintroduce Jason in a short film speaks volumes about the lack of commitment of the studio for the franchise. Instead of a bold relaunch, we have something that feels available, a toe that is more immersed in the water than a confident step forward. While the production value and acting deserve recognition – polished camera work and decent services prove to be behind the project – they are undermined by the dependence on gore that often feels wrong. Even worse, the overlapping of physical effects deprives you of your threat and reveals make-up and prostheses in a way that comes closer to the piece of a fan film than an official sequel.
This comparison is also not flattering. In the past ten years, the 13th fan films on Friday have better expanded the world of Jason’s world and take risks with tradition and sound that researched this brief exploration. What we have left is a project that is too safe, too familiar and too eager to serve nostalgia instead of building something fresh.
Ultimately, a franchise that was already hit in the ground by endless repetition should not be revived with it. Jason Universe: sweet revenge It certainly plays if it had to be brave, so that it is satisfied with the renovated old floor instead of carving new ways. The result is not a rebirth – it is a memory of why Jason was primarily relaxed.
