Jason Voorhees is back…but not like you remember him.
In this trailer reaction to the upcoming vignette Sweet Revenge (2025), we're exploring the surprising (and sponsored) return of horror’s favorite machete-wielder. From product placement to redesigned masks, we break down the first look at the 13-minute vignette that's kicking off the newly minted Jason Universe.
Directed by Mike P. Nelson, this short celebrates the 45th anniversary of Friday the 13th and gives us our first real taste of Jason in over a decade. We talk mask upgrades, fan skepticism, canoe throwbacks, Angry Orchard’s role, and what this could mean for the future of Crystal Lake.
