Member Rating:  
Directed by makeup effects artist John Carl Buechler, the seventh in the long-running, grisly horror series was far from the last, although the climactic fate of its antagonist would seem to suggest a final send-off. Lar Park Lincoln stars as Tina Shepard, a teenager with uncontrolled telekinetic powers. As a girl vacationing at Camp Crystal Lake, Tina killed her abusive father with the use of her mental abilities. Years later, seeking intensive counseling from manipulative, greedy psychologist Dr. Crews (Terry Kiser), Tina agrees to participate in a radical therapy that takes her back to Camp Crystal Lake. Unfortunately, Tina's psychic skills rouse the slumbering Jason Voorhees (Kane Hodder) from his watery grave and, in typically bloody fashion, the vengeful spook begins dispatching the randy teenagers partying in a house nearby. As Tina attempts to stop Jason's slaughter with the use of her powers, the mass-murdering ghoul encounters his toughest opponent yet. Friday the 13th, Part VII: The New Blood was often referred to by series fans as "Jason vs. Carrie," an apropos reference to Tina's strong similarity to the main character in the horror classic Carrie (1976). ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

    Since Jason is a superhuman zombie, why can't the main character have telekinesis, the only way any person would have a fighting chance, since Jason gets stronger with each new movie. The end was a little dumb with the dad, but I really enjoyed this one. A lot of interesting victims.

    Part 7? Here we go into a never seeming to end saga. However, I enjoyed this part. Jason looks the coolest in this one. How he's even functioning is a wonder, but by now it's obviously anything's possible. The only problem with this one is after seeing the deleted scenes shipped with the box set, they really went overboard cutting the death scenes. They should have left it how it was originally. The father in the end that comes out of the water was actually originally made to look quite decayed but the Producers had the make up artists redo him to look more freshly dead for some reason. Who looks like that after rotting in a lake for 10 years?!?! Horrible move.

    This is probably one of my favorite ones, besides Part VI, Jason Goes to Hell, and Freddy Vs. Jason. It is a great one and it was great to watch and wonder what jason bust have been thinking when he was getting attacked by things that no one was touching. The only thing I didn't like was the ending where the father came back to bring Jason back into the water, that was about the only part that seemed too far fetched. A great film of the slasher genre and a definite must watch of the series. Check it out when you get the chance.
