The host, James A. Janisse, presents a kill count analysis of the 2017 fan film "Never Hike Alone," a Friday the 13th-inspired movie directed by Vincente DiSanti. The film follows vlogger Kyle McLeod as he explores Camp Crystal Lake, where he encounters Jason Voorhees. The movie pays homage to the original Friday the 13th series, with nods to iconic kills and characters.
The kill count is relatively low, with only two confirmed kills: paramedic Axel and paramedic Denny. Both kills are off-screen, with the exception of Axel's, which is briefly shown. Despite the low body count, the film focuses on atmosphere and suspense.
The host praises the special effects, particularly the work of makeup artist Kelsey Burke, and notes the film's use of practical effects. The movie also features a cameo by Thom Mathews, who reprises his role as Tommy Jarvis from Friday the 13th Part 6.
The kill count analysis includes a breakdown of the kills, with Axel's death earning the "Golden Chainsaw" award for coolest kill, and Denny's death receiving the "Dole Machete" award for lamest kill. The host concludes by announcing that the film's characters will be added to the Friday the 13th puzzle game, a nod to their place in horror movie history.
