For the first time in 16 years, Jason Voorhees is officially back in action.
But it’s not what you may think.
Sweet Revenge, described by its marketing team as a “vignette,” is the first release from Horror Inc.’s Jason Universe, the multiplatform home for all things Jason Voorhees from the original owners of the Friday the 13th franchise.
Watch the 13-minute short film, presented by Angry Orchard Hard Cider, below.
My opinion? It’s incredible that they pulled it off — it manages to miss the mark as both a satisfying Jason short film and an Angry Orchard commercial. I had my fingers crossed that someone would pop up and say, “It’s okay! He just wants his Angry Orchard back!” Then they’d all smile and laugh while sipping that tasty cider and welcoming a crisp autumn breeze, while gathering around Angry Orchard’s new Thriller Mix Pack.
