Its been awhile since i reviewed a fan film. And Chris Lott drew my attention to a new versus fan film called Halloween at Crystal Lake. As the title describes this is very much a film of Jason Vorhees pitted against Michael Myers. As a group of hikers are caught in the middle of the melee between the two.
I really had a fun time watching Halloween by Crystal Lake. The 17 minute fan film flew by wait to quick. Which is one reason i like it so much. The pace of the film was like a music video quick and straight to the point. There wasnt a whole lot of story but i wasnt expecting that much in the first place with a VS type film. And i have to say that I enjoyed this 10X better than Freddy vs Jason film that came out of hollywood.
Anders Ericksen(NightmareGloves.com) did an amazing job with props and special effects. Jason Vorhees and Michael Myers look like they came straight out of the original movies. So i give him credit for going the extra mile to get the authentic look of the characters.
Lastly i have to mention Chris Lott's excellent score. He has definately improved his craft since the last score ive seen(Note 2). And the production value overall jump up a notch from the music throughout the film that built up the action. The scares and kills just woundnt be the same without the intense music by Mr. Lott.
Overall i give this film a 4 out of 5
