Absolutely Fantastic

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Jason is accidently revived from his watery grave by a girl with psychokinetic abilities to go on another rampage, killing horny teens. As many reviews have pointed out this is a kind of Jason vs Carrie affair and while it's an interesting idea I just wasn't convinced by it, it didn't quite work for me. There is a high body count but sadly very little gore, probably down to censorship. On the plus side there's a fair amount of female nudity and part 7 is when Kane Hodder made his debut playing Jason, a role that he made his own. It's a pity that from this point the series went down hill but I'm a fan and if they'd made a hundred Friday's I'd watch them all!

After Tommy Jarvis left Jason to rot chained at the bottom of the lake we thought we'd seen the last of Mr Voorhees, but no a psychic girl accidentally frees him and you know the rest.Thats right Jason Voorhees goes on another rampage indiscriminately killing more 20 somethings with very little story actually present.This however marked the first time Kane Hodder took on the hockey mask and as ridiculous as it sounds you can really tell and new life is breathed into Jason.Now rotted, chain around his neck and looking seven shades of undead Jason looks amazing and scarier than ever before. Sadly the death sequences in New Blood are more cutaway poorly constructed nonsense and considering this is the 7th movie in the franchise there really is no excuse.New Bloods greatest weakness is the finale, the movie builds up to the final battle really well, draws it out into a lengthy encounter but then hits you with a moronic unexplained baffling twist just before the credits.New Blood isn't bad and it marks a really turning point for Jason, but as a standalone film it's not the strongest part of the franchise.The Good: Jason looks amazing Kane Hodder The Bad: Weak death scenesAwful finale Things I Learnt From This Movie: A magnifying glass is a cheap alternative to a penis pump Jason Voorhees may have a window fetish No matter how fast you run Jason Voorhee's walk is faster

It's night and today is Friday the 13th (May 2016), a special day for us horror fans, and I started my triple feature watching this seventh chapter, which is my fave in the series. I remember watching a few scenes from this movie when I was little. Then I started watching them when I was 13. I'm a huge Jason fan, and this sequel, along with part 8, was the hardest to find. They didn't have it in any of my local video stores. In 2011, I finally found it online. Friday the 13th, The Ultimate Collection, includes 8 films with tons of features. When I saw it for the first time, I was just amazed with the story line. Horror legend Kane Hodder, in his first performance as Jason, faces a teenager, Tina Shepard, who has telekinetic powers, played by the gorgeous Lar Park Lincoln. She's a magnificent actress and my no. 1 heroine in the series. Just simply incredible, the characters, and especially the climax, with awesome stunts by Kane, and I really love the frightening detail look they did for Jason!!! Love the entire franchise, but this one has something special about it, and that's the reason it's my fave.

Jason rises again to stab, slice and sever the partygoing youths of Crystal Lake. This time, he stares down with a fellow supernatural: Tina, a troubled young woman with telekinetic abilities and an equally tragic history with the location. Points for shaking up the formula a tad, but this gimmick is just as ham-fisted and overplayed as everything else the series has tried to freshen itself up. Along with Tina's bad floating-toaster act, we still get the requisite amount of shallow teenage stereotypes - boring characters who don't really deserve their fate but certainly won't be mourned - and magical Jason hide-and-seek performances. Once again crippled by the censors, the kills are all cut short, and without those frequent, bloody, money shots to rely on, there's really no reason to bother tuning in. This entry's final surprise - a callback to the first film that's already been aped once or twice before - is so snort-inducingly bad I can't believe it actually got the green light. Stupid, toothless, time-wasting schlock.
