“Never Hike Alone” (*1/2 out of four) was an artless spin-off of the “Friday The 13th” series about a curious hiker (Drew Leighty) who stumbles upon the remains of the old Camp Crystal Lake and discovered its long-buried secrets and finds that Jason Voorhees (Vincente DiSanti) is alive and well and still has his hockey mask and knives ready for murder. In all fairness- this is better than the horrendous “Friday The 13th” remake and some of the last few entries in the series (such as “Jason X” in space) but don’t consider this a series re-starter just yet. Series fans will note the return of Thom Matthews who played Tommy Jarvis and has a minor role at the end as a paramedic but this is unlikely to resuscitate his career.
