In another life, Jason’s knack for finding people who desperately don’t want to be found could’ve gotten him a reality show, his hook being his willingness to murder his bounties in unnecessarily theatrical ways — this is where HBO or Netflix come in, since they’re into that — where Dog and the like rely more on scolding their captured ne’er-do-wells as they haul them to prison.
Take this first Friday the 13th: The Game clip, for example. Jason busts through the door, scans the room like the goddamn Terminator, then somehow manages to find the scream-breathing woman under the bed, without even considering checking a closet, dresser, ceiling, etc. Forget a Bounty Hunter show, JV is too goof for that. He’s the House or House M.D., only he doesn’t take 40 minutes to figure out what we knew for at least 35 — it’s Lupis.
In the second video, below, Jason tries to MacGyver a doorstop out of another screaming woman.
Movie geeks, or anyone who read the title of the video, will recognize that place as the Higgins Haven from Friday the 13th Part 3. You might remember seeing that map in among the stretch goals the game was not able to raise enough funding to meet during its Kickstarter campaign last October. It wasn’t unlocked, but the team is still working on bringing it to the game, for free, obviously.
Friday the 13th: The Game releases this fall for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
