Review of His Name Was Jason: 30 Years of Friday the 13th (2010) by Chris S — 19 May 2010
I heard this isn't really anything new for the die hard F13 fans as it's basically a video version of Peter Bracke's Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th book. Since I hadn't read the book, this was mostly new material for me.
As informative and excellent as the documentary is, the extras are what most fans have been raving about. The second disc is filled with a lot of segments they only touched on in the full-length documentary along with a lot of other goodies including interviews with writers and directors, fan films, discussions about plotholes, bad acting, etc, Joseph Zito and Eric Anderson walking you through the house they used in The Final Chapter, Friday the 13th in four minutes, a panel at Comic-Con, a survival guide to surviving Camp Blood, and more.
There are several hours worth of material on the second disc and really make this an excellent addition to any fan of the franchise.
