Documentary month Day 09 film 09 His Name was Jason

His name was Jason
2009
Anchor Bay entertainment DVD

This is a  2 DVD documentary about the series of films
that Jason Voorhies has appeared in. Hosted by Tom
Savini,it has interviews with some of the cast. Plus a whole
bunch of people that have nothing at all to do with the Friday
the 13th series. Plus the DVD release came with a coupon to
$7 off a ticket to go see the remake. Well since at the time a
ticket at the local theater was only $7 I got to see the
remake for free.

We get a virtual tour through out the history of the Friday
franchise. Sadly there is so much more this documentary
could have done. There is so many people that were in the
Friday films they could have tracked down and interviewed.
But instead we get segments with one of the guys from
Psych and Adam Green.

Weirdly the second disc which contains stuff that was taken
out of the documentary is better than the actual
documentary. I get the feeling that with some good editing
there is a great documentary here.
Overall unless you find this cheap,like say 5 bucks or under
avoid it. His name was Jason gets a D-.
