History Film / NeverHikeAlone

* AllMenArePerverts: Kyle finds an '80s Playboy (July 1980, specifically). [[spoiler:Later, one of the paramedics who rescues Kyle is "reading" it instead of treating Kyle's not-exactly-superficial injuries.]]

** Kyle's guidebook he uses throughout the film [[spoiler: saves his life by [[PocketProtector taking the brunt of Jason's machete]] when he get's stabbed in the abdomen.]]

* TheHeroDies: [[spoiler:Averted. Jason crushes Kyle's head with his own hands... but then he wakes up in the ambulance and ultimately escapes.]]
* HopeSpot: [[spoiler: Kyle buries the head of an axe in Jason's neck, got saved from a nearly-lethal machete stab by his guidebook, has his gear and supplies back to get back out of the woods. . . then Jason reaches up, yanks the axe out of his neck, and starts chasing Kyle again.]]

* OffscreenTeleportation: Jason appears to have this as usual. Notably, when Kyle is first deciding whether or not to ignore the "No Trespassing" sign, Jason can be seen just appearing closer and closer to Kyle, until he's standing right over him, only to vanish when Kyle looks in Jason's direction. After Kyle hops over the sign, Jason appears again. . . ''right where Kyle had been moments before''.

* SelfStitching: Kyle cuts his leg open on some barbed wire, and needs to patch himself back up before it becomes infected. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, his pack with all his supplies, including first aid kit, is back in the main lodge of Camp Crystal Lake.]]

On January 13, 2023, a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jo20KveC3OE teaser trailer]] was released for a full sequel, ''Never Hike Alone 2'', which is set for release on October 13, 2023.

On September 13th, 2019, Womp Stomp Films released a music video simply titled [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hyTIfXh50UM Disappear]], with a small teaser for a 20 minute prequel, ''"Never Hike In the Snow"'', with the possibility of 3 webisodes following suit.

Just one year after the teaser, on October 13th, 2020, Womp Stomp Films released ''"Film/NeverHikeInTheSnow"'' that can be viewed [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cbl0DmPR9fo here]].

** His first night on the trail, Kyle is recording a plug (apparently paid) for a collapsible, multifunction shovel, and flubbing his script. Kyle comments to himself that "it looks like a cheap piece of shit to me." Turns out it's pretty good for chopping fallen branches for firewood, [[spoiler:and not useless to have at your side when a seven-foot-tall murderous revenant is on your ass.]]

* MadeOfIron: Kyle. Jason's first attack is to throw Kyle out a "door to nowhere" on the second storey of the main lodge. Kyle survives this, gets into a ''fistfight'' with Jason and makes it out okay, though he does quickly start accumulating wounds that start slowing him down. Unfortunately for Kyle, while he's Made of Iron, Jason is MadeOfDiamond.

* SelfStitching: Kyle cuts his leg open on some barbed wire, and needs to patch himself back up before it becomes infected. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, his pack with all his supplies, including first aid kit, are back in the main lodge of Camp Crystal Lake.]]

* WhamLine: [[spoiler:As if the fact the ambulance driver being Tommy Jarvis wasn't a WhamShot, he also distracts Jason at the end by yelling out "Hey, maggot-head!! Remember me, asshole?!"]]

** That axe Jason threw at Kyle and embedded in a tree? It's role in this drama is not over.

* DramaticUnmask: Par for the course, Jason gets his mask knocked off while he and Kyle struggle. His face is heavily shadowed, but it's pretty clearly a ''[[Film/FridayThe13thPartVIITheNewBlood Part VII]]'' inspired Jason, complete with a few identifiable wounds from previous Fridays.

* MacheteMayhem: After failing to kill Kyle with his initial throw-him-from-the-second-storey and axe attack, Jason rushes to grab his trusty machete to finish the job.

--> '''Kyle''': Fuck This!

* DaylightHorror: Kyle's initial run-ins with Jason all take place during the day.

* FoundFootageFilms: Downplayed. Parts of the film are through the tiny camera Kyle takes to blog his hiking adventures. Most of the action is shot as a traditional film, since Kyle's smart enough to drop the damn camera when his life depends on it.

* DeathBySex: It can't be a coincidence that Jason's stalking of Kyle ramps up notably after Kyle finds (and keeps) a July 1980 Playboy.

* AnAxeToGrind: The first thing Jason goes for when he gives chase to Kyle. [[spoiler:Kyle uses it to try and kill Jason, who later uses it to kill Axel]].

* FamousLastWords:
** "Let him go! Hey man, put him down! Shit..." [[spoiler:Axel]]
** "Axel, what's happening?!" [[spoiler:Deni]]

NeedsWikiMagicLove heavily.

* MythologyGag: Kyle finds numerous crime scene markers with numbers on them, each marking where one of the counselors from the first film died...
