There’s a new feature over at Unfilmable.com (the world’s greatest news site for Lovecraftian films). In the upcoming months, guest writer Tom Sullivan will be sharing his “Reviews of the Infinite Abyss.” I’m proud to say THE OTHER GODS is the subject of his first review.
Here’s a sampling of what Mr. Sullivan had to say:
“The story is an accurate and unsettling warning about tempting the Gods, and although short like the original story, it is just as effective. When Barzai gazes upon the face of Nyarlathotep, Rhodes gives us a psychedelic experience generations ahead of his time.”

Tom Sullivan is an artist whose otherworldly paintings have been published in a number of H.P. Lovecraft publications. I first came to know him as the designer of “The Book of the Dead” from the Evil Dead series. It’s an honor to be reviewed by Mr. Sullivan, as the Evil Dead movies were my gateway into the world of Lovecraft.

A careful search of the internet has yielded a couple more reviews of “Jason: The Rebirth.”
From Fanboy Theatre:
“This short is meant to fill in the gap between Firday The 13th 1 & 2 and it does just that. Using an scratchy and loose drawing style with a limited color palatte really gives this film an eerie feeling, and Mr. Boas even uses actual music from the original Friday The 13th films adding more to the overall coolness of the short. Very brave, very unique, and a damn fine Fan Film. I would have liked this short to be a tad longer, but sometimes in the world of Fan Films that can become a bad thing and ruin the finished product. Nope, this one is definitely a keeper, Awesome stuff!”
And here’s some thoughts on franchise animation from VisibleH20.com:
“I found this (Jason Animation) inventive and fun. I hope that someday we will see much more animation for such works. Perhaps many such works that are awaiting new creative juices to flow, should be animated until better scripts and or creators are at hand. Take The Batman, for instance, the Cartoons continued with or without the live action movie. It took ten years or so for Batman to Return.”
Lastly, I see that “Jason” is listed with other F13 fanfilms at scabboy.net.
Cinematical.com has been running features on fan films lately, and “Jason: The Rebirth” made the cut.
Peter Sciretta writes:
“The animation is better than you’d expect, with a style of its own”
TDavid writes:
“That washed out green/black texture for the fanfilm has its own dark flavor to it. This is actually much better than I thought it would be.”
I suppose the trick is to keep people’s expectations really low, so they’re pleasantly surprised with the film itself…
