13: Never Hike Alone (2017)
It being the 13th I figured something Friday The 13th relevant, the first in a series of fairly high profile fan films. (So a fan film for something I’m not a fan of.) Unlike fan films I usually see for things like Star Wars and Star Trek this has a similar low budget to the real thing - I was expecting it to stay out in the woods but it went to a pretty good recreation of the camp. It’s a pretty basic slasher, so again true to the source, while reflecting some developments like a found footage element though not going with it all the way through. Acted fine by its one lead, and it only gives in to total fan service at the end.
Note for female nudity due to an old Playboy in one shot.
The medium: YouTube
Gameability: Roughly equal to the originals, though lacks extra PCs to get killed early in the one-shot.
(And there’s a moment where the hiker hears coyotes on the hunt. Would coyotes keep an undead monster out of their territory? Could a story or game about wild animals fending off a monster work? Like Werewolf: The Apocalypse without the Were- part? Or am I overthinking due to Good Boy?)
