Friday The 13th: Vengeance Synopsis
It’s been 30 years since the murders happened at Crystal Lake. When Angelica Jarvis learns of her father’s disappearance among a new string of murders, she assembles a search party to find him. When the group discovers Jason’s father, Elias Voorhees, is back, what they uncover will change the town forever.
Friday The 13th: Vengeance features the return of former Jason Voorhees actor C.J. Graham, in the role of Jason’s father, Elias. This marks his first appearance in a Friday The 13th film since portraying Jason in Friday The 13th Part VI: Jason Lives. The late Steve Dash, who portrayed Jason Voorhees in 1981 joins Graham as Sheriff Realotti.
The cast also includes Jason Brooks (Mythos: A Friday the 13th Fan Film) as Jason Voorhees, as well as newcomer Kelly Tappan, Peter Anthony (Steve Dash: Husband, Father, Grandfather – A Memorial Documentary 2019), Diana Prince (The Last Drive In With Joe-Bob Briggs TV series) 2017), Veronica Ricci (An Hour To Kill 2018 – read our review here), Sanae Loutsis (Beloved Beast 2018), His Name Was Jason’s Ray Hopper (read our interview with him here) and Julia Valenti, and many more.
