Wow, that title's longer than the actual movie.
A "Fan film?" This was better made than several of the actual movies. And it was AMAZING. Great acting, wonderful surprises/throwbacks, visuals great, homage perfect and best of all: this is a sequel to my personal favorite Friday film: Part IV - Jason Lives. How cool/coincidental is that?
They put a lot into a mere 25-minute movie. No background is given; you have to be a fan, yourself, to know who Jason Voorhees is, his mother's head, how it got there, etc. But suffice to say, scary-hockey-masked maniac Jason is opposed to anyone in his woods whether there by chance or the hunt.
Only regret is that it's too short. You simply can't be a fan and not want to see an entire movie of this. Even with killer filler of a bunch of 1-dimentional young, horny adults that have nothing to do with the story.
YOU MUST SEE THIS. And I lied. Second regret: this wasn't included in the same-day released Deluxe Boxset. It would be my favorite extra.

Final thoughts: Even though this isn't a movie, I wonder where I'd rank it in a top 13 Friday list:
1 Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives 2 Friday the 13th Part III 3 Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter 4 Friday the 13th Part 2 5 Friday the 13th (1980) 6 Never Hike in the Snow - A Friday the 13th Fan Film 7 Freddy vs. Jason 8 Friday the 13th (2009) 9 Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood 10 Jason X 11 Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning 12 Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday 13 Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan
