I had stumbled upon the 2022 "Vengeance 2" movie prior to watching this 2019 movie, and I really enjoyed the sequel, so I tracked down the 2019 movie as I wanted to watch it as well.
While writers T. C. De Witt and Mike Meade put together a rather enjoyable movie here with the 2019 movie "Vengeance", it wasn't quite as impressive as the 2022 "Vengeance 2". Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that "Vengeance" is a bad movie, far from it. It is, in fact, rather enjoyable, but it was just not the same level of production as the 2022 sequel.
The storyline in "Vengeance" is entertaining and nicely written, and it was nice to see that the story carried on straight over into the sequel. And that makes for some good continuity between the two movies.
The acting performances in "Vengeance" were good, and Jason Brooks definitely puts on a good performance as Jason Voorhees. Sure, it was cool that C. J. Graham was in this movie and the sequel, as he was the one playing Jason Voorhees from the "Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives". However, it wasn't something that had me all worked up, because the acting performances as Elias Voorhees (Jason Voorhees's father) was not all that outstanding. But hey, it was a nice touch for him to take on a role in these movies.
Visually then "Vengeance" is good, lots of blood and mayhem, just as it is supposed to be in a movie with Jason Voorhees. And as a 30+ something year long streak as a gorehoud, I was definitely entertained by what I saw.
"Vengeance" is a good addition to the "Friday the 13th" franchise, despite it being a mere fan-based project. But it looked and felt like something right in the likes of "Friday the 13th" part VI, VII or VIII.
My rating of "Vengeance" lands on a seven out of ten stars.
