There's a legend around here. A killer buried, but NOT dead. Jason Voorhees is unintentionally revived from his watery grave by a girl with telekinetic powers. And so the Friday the 13th bandwagon rolled on for another sequel, a part 7, that once again pitches the unlikable Voorhees against a number of annoying teen types. Those involved here deserve some respect for at least trying to add some impetus to the f…

I know a lot of die-hard horror fans who hold _The New Blood_ as either their favourite _Friday the 13th_ movie since the original, or even just straight up their favourite _Friday the 13th_ movie.

I really enjoyed seeing a final girl that also has supernatural powers that are able to truly take on Jason one on one. But other that Tina, the…

The prologue is atmospheric and fun, Carrie expy Tina is a sympathetic heroine - mental patient as heroine and sane people as depraved villains in slasher is nice enough twist - and it's all less slimy than the earlier parts, thanks to absence of toilet jokes and MPAA cutting away most of the gore. Not a good movie, of course, but it could be much, much worse.
