It’s been nearly five years since iHorror hosted Jason Voorhees’ return with the premiere of Vincente DiSanti’s Never Hike Alone. Now on the first Friday the 13th of 2023, the director is back with a special gift. He is giving us all a special 5-minute clip of the sequel.
With all of the legal issues the Friday the 13th franchise has had, it is nice to know that we can get our Jason fix in fan films like Never Hike Alone 2. We know what you’re thinking, and we thought the same thing: A fan film? But this one is different.
Just like the first Never Hike Alone, its sequel is filled with theatrical-quality cinematography, score, and special guest appearances like Thom Mathews reprising his role as Tommy Jarvis.
The filmmakers say the movie is slated to be released on Friday, October 13, 2023. As production continues this spring, they are also looking for additional funds through their Indiegogo Crowdfunding Campaign to complete additional scenes, post-production costs, and bonus content for the film.
Official Synopsis
Set as a direct sequel to Never Hike Alone (2017), Never Hike Alone 2 picks up with Crystal Lake’s haunted son, Tommy Jarvis (Thom Mathews), who has all but given up on his search for the long lost Jason Voorhees (Vincente DiSanti).
However, when Tommy receives an emergency call to pick up injured hiker Kyle McLeod (Andrew Leighty), he will once again come face-to-face with the ghost of Crystal Lake, setting into motion a blood-soaked conclusion to their deadly rivalry.
Caught between the chaos is Dr. Diana Hill (Anna Campbell), still searching for answers to her son’s disappearance, and the ever-stubborn Sheriff Rick Cologne (Vinny Guastaferro), convinced Tommy is responsible for it all.
