Friday the 13th: The New Blood

Wow! They were really reaching for a new idea for this one! This film could have easily been shortened to about 30 minutes or so. There are numerous chunks in this film that are utterly useless and simply to show yet another death.

I didn't think this film was very good at all. The whole girl with telekinesis sub-plot thing was a bit much for me. Although, it did make for an interesting fight between her and Jason towards the end of the film. ...But the actual end of the film was just atrocious! I nearly burst into laughter! I will give it this though, there were some pretty nice make-up effects at the end of the film and Jason did have a very sinister and disgusting look to him throughout the film. I thought it was odd that Jason seemed to use a new weapon every time he made a kill, and it was hilarious when he busted out that electric long-reach saw.

If you like the Friday the 13th films, then go ahead and watch this one, you might like it. If you didn't like the previous films I can't imagine you would like this one, but I have been wrong before...so do what you will. Anyhow, if you do see the film, I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for reading,

Last time I blamed Tommy for causing the deaths of others after inadvertently raising Jason from 6 feet under. I must do the same here concerning Tina, the very cute Lincoln as a girl with powers to move things with her mind. Thinking shes moving her dead father from the same lake where Jason is stuck under water, she ends up snapping the chain attached to the rock holding Jason down and hes back in business. So like Tommy, shes kinda responsible for the batch of teens who get skewered. But missing from part 6 and really the rest of the other films, are the inventive murders. Jasons slams a girl into a tree, stabs a few, throws one outta window, its just a little too dull. Theres a couple decent ones like the party favor in the eye or the ol' axe to the face, but the rest are standard. And way too much time is spent on Lincolns character trying to get over her past at the lake and her would be romance with Blair. Most of Harry Mandredinis great music is stuff from previous films as either he and/or Fred Mollin unfortuntely decided to overuse a lot of "banging" sounds. And after being the lead character the last 3 films, Tommy Jarvis was dropped. Tack on a totally unsatisfying ending (Jasons pulled under a dock and disappears) and you've got only a fair follow up. At least its more watchable than 8 or 9.

Again Jason Vorhees (Kane Hodder who did his own stunts) lurking and killing teens and mask wearing executing uncountable body-count . The film begins with flashbacks from previous part ; then Tina Shepard (Park Lincoln) kills accidentally his daddy on the docks in Crystal Lake . Years later , she returns with her mother (Susan Blue) and a psychiatrist who wishes to exploit her . Then , Tina with her telekinesis (Carrie-alike) power rises Jason from under lagoon with fateful consequences . Jason does a cruel massacre on young people (the B-star Elizabeth Kaitan , among them) using axe , cleaver and his supernatural force.

This seventh following contains horror , suspense , terrifying scenes , grisly killing , shocks and lots of blood . The storyline remains similar happenings and characters as well as predecessor entries and successive chapters . The flick takes accent as the thrills and chills , as well as the guts , gore and blood . John Carl Buechler was so impressed with Kane Hodder when he ate live worms on the set of Prison (1987) , that he pushed for Paramount Pictures to let him cast Hodder in the role of Jason . Atmospheric and creaking musical score by the usual Harry Manfredini . The motion picture was middlingly directed by John Carl Buechler , habitual make-up craftsman.

Followed by ¨Jason takes Manhattan Part VII (1989), ¨Jason goes to hell : The final Friday (1993)¨ ,Jason X (2002, James Isaac)¨, the final chapter is ¨Freddie vs. Jason (2003,Ronni Yu)¨, where again Jason emerges from Crystal Lake and confronting Freddie Kruger . And in production ¨Friday, the 13th¨ by Marcus Nispel with Jared Padelecki, Danielle Panabaker and produced by Michael Bay . The tale will appeal to Friday 13 series fans.

Okay, Friday the 13th Part 7: The New Blood was an okay and pretty well-set film. Though Tina Sheperd (the main character) has telekinesis which is very reminding of Carrie, but also put a spark in the series, instead of Jason just killing everyone. All in all, this movie was okay. I give Friday the 13th Part 7: The New Blood a 6 out of 10

Another Jason movie, ah yes,takes place years after Tommy Jarvis, and it seems like he's gone, guess again, a girl with telekinetic powers tries to get her dad back, but because she wasn't aware of her power, and didn't know how to control it properly, she accidentally brings Jason back, and oh no he's at it again. Well there's something you don't get everyday, man. Why did they put someone like that in? Someone who is like Carrie, please, Jason does typical murders, while she figures out how to control her powers, and tries to find out who is this Jsaon person. And the way she fights him is kind of pathetic, she just throws stuff at him and rips off his mask, can't she do something better, like smash him or send him flying to space? But then again that would be too weird, and it wasn't that exciting either. But I'll stop there. It did have everything else you'd expect in a slasher film, but I wish they could have done something else instead of a telekinetic person. Watch it if you're into it, or if you would still watch it even though it's like that.
