Review of His Name Was Jason: 30 Years of Friday the 13th (2010) by Chris G — 07 Mar 2009
His Name Was Jason is a look back at the biggest horror franchise in film history Friday the 13th. Extensive interviews with cast, crew, and fans travel down the many roads of Camp Crystal Lake. The host is FX god Tom Savini.
I don't know if the documentary itself is worthy of four stars. It's informative, yet edited kind of hap hazardly with Savini's vignets seeming kind of hokey. It's the bonus features that really make this an interesting piece, especially the interviews with all of the directors (except Steve Miner and Ronnie Yu) and the actors that "played" Jason (we must remember that it's a stuntman in a mask).
This is a must have for hardcore fans. Everyone else will probably want to steer clear.
