13 Fanboy

What a promising premise! Dee Wallace gave a great performance (and looked fabulous) but was let down by the script in the final act. Horrific acting by Hayley Greenbauer, Corey Feldman, and Ron Sloan further work against the film. If only this could be remade with a better script, some key recasting, and a consistent tongue-in-cheek tone, this would be a masterpiece.

I was very excited to see this movie get off the ground, and I was very excited to pay for it the day it was released on VOD. With that being said, this movie did not do it for me, casting Dee Wallace as your main focus was a mistake. She just did not have the presence to make the it work, as she seemed as a huge fish out of water, as a fan of hers, I'm not taking anything away from her, I just believe she was miscast. It was fun seeing all of the returning Friday the 13th actors, and I feel Deborah Voorhees has promise as a director, but this movie took the wrong route. A better story would have made this movie sail further then I feel this one has.

As a long time fan of the friday the 13th series. I was excited when this project was announced. I can site almost the entire series scene by scene.. Im a diehard. This movies plot along with the cast sounded great on paper.. but after watching this. Id have to say.. Both CJ Graham and Kane Hodder deserve a razzie award each for two of the worst performances on screen. A few other cast members can be nominated too. Lots of plot inconsistences as well. Some of the cast in here seem like cheap cameo appearances and their characters have no idea what to do with the script. The movie seemed scrambled together.

I understand making movies is hard and takes alot of work. I have nothing but respect to deborah voorhees and the cast but overall this movie is a major mess. I also couldnt stand the youtuber police story cameos either. Brutally horrible. The kills.. not that creative. The killer(s) motives..horrible. The ending is pretty much a scream rip-off. 13 Fanboy makes Halloween Kills seem like a cinematic masterpiece.

I did like Deborah Sullivan's cameo though. Shes also great in Secret Santa which for being a low budget independent movie. Is a million times better.

Was this a fantastic movie? No it wasn't but it was nostalgic in a way and I liked seeing all of the original actors. I grew up in the '70s and '80s and watched all of the movies in the theater or drive-in even for some horror movies. Dee Wallace was great as usual. The acting overall wasnt that bad and for a low budget it could have been worse. I think what was lacking for me was the suspense but overall I was engaged for the duration. I applaud the efforts for them to put together this movie as I know it was a passionate project from the start and it took a lot of energy to put it together. Too bad they can't make a sequel and have other of the original actors in it. It keeps them employed and I think it is a great thing to do for the fans. I would probably see a sequel just to see how other original actors are holding up.

However, I must say that the movie's synopsis sounded like it could be a fun movie to watch, especially with all the amazing apperances of horror icons mostly from the "Friday the 13th" franchise. So of course I opted to sit down and watch the 2021 horror movie "13 Fanboy" from writers Joel Paul Reisig and Deborah Voorhees.

Oh Jeebus, this was a swing and a miss.

I didn't even manage to sit through the entire ordeal, because the storyline was just downright rubbish, and there was very little of any interest going on really, so if you have problems sleeping, you might want to put "13 Fanboy" on.

Now, what was impressive about director Deborah Voorhees's 2021 horror movie was all the horror icons that participated in the movie. And as a life-long fan of the "Friday the 13th" franchise, I have to say that the cast ensemble here was just overwhelmingly impressive. Just a real shame that the storyline and the movie was such rubbish.

"13 Fanboy" tried, well director Deborah Voorhees tried, but ultimately failed to deliver anything wholesome or entertaining. And this is certainly not a movie that I will be returning to finish watching, as it just effectively managed to fall short of being entertaining.

My rating of, this rather disappointing horror movie, lands on a generous two out of ten stars. As a massive fan of "Friday the 13th", this was just a disappointing experience to say the least.
