Movie Info
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

This new cleaner-looking version of The New Blood is miles ahead of what fans had access to previously on DVD
You cannot really take the results seriously, but they are fun, offering both...something never really shown in a
A more supernatural turn for the series.
By this seventh entry in the series, being different just for the sake of it really is justification enough.
The anxieties suffered by Tina throughout the film are well thought-out by the franchise's typically one-dimensional standards.
Does this even appeal to the hardcore Jason fans? I doubt it.
Sort of Jason meets Carrie outing that's about on par with the rest of the silly series.
Goodness knows the writer, director and actors didn't expend much effort. We won't bother mentioning that the acting and dialogue are atrocious, like they always are.
The only thing that needs new blood injected into it is this franchise
turns out to be all swing and no follow-through, essentially wasting an interesting premise on tepid writing, bad acting, silly characters, and mediocre direction
When a hardcore Friday the 13th fan tells you that a particular entry is a piece of junk, you should probably listen.
