Freddy's Return: A Nightmare Reborn (2009)

Starring: David Buczynski, Jennifer Farr, Efrem Fernandez, Rhonda Gibeau
Director: Jason Korsaik

Premise:
A kid, who survived being kidnapped by Freddy Krueger, moves back to Elm Street as a teenager. And soon the nightmares begin again.

My Take:
A surprisingly good fan film that keeps right in line with the Freddy lore. It does a lot on a minimal budget. And while not perfect, there is a lot to enjoy here.

Rating: So Good

Never Hike Alone (2017)

Starring: Drew Leighty, Vincente DiSanti, Thom Matthews
Director: Vincente DiSanti

Premise:
A hiker documenting his travels stumbles upon an old kid;s camp know for it's murders from many years ago.

My Take:
This fan made short film is better than many of the Hollywood produced sequels/reboots of the Friday the 13th franchise. The movie looks great and the story ties in all the best aspects of the Jason lore while leaving the hokiness behind. This is a solid effort all around.

Rating: So Good
