Well, hello there, kind folks. If you’re visiting this blog of mine, I presume that you have a certain interest in the cinema. As for me, even since my early childhood, I have had a deep love of everything related to movies and television. As far as I can remember, I have been more at ease in front of a screen than in the yard, outside, playing. It is a great way to travel, though other people’s stories, without having to foot any kind of steep bill. Over the years, I feel that movie-watching has even fuelled my own creativity.

All that being said, I welcome you in my Cinephile’s Nest. I hope you enjoy it here, feel free to come back at any time. Here you will find reviews of current movies and older ones. TV shows also. Some classics that have remained some of my favourites, some that have disappointed me. I will use a very basic star (*) system to grade them from 1 to 5 (5 being sliced bread level). Remember, these are just my tastes. I will try to explain in each review what I liked about these particular movies, without giving spoilers.

Il y aura aussi des critiques en français pour les films francophones, car j'aime également le cinéma dans ma langue maternelle. Avant d'apprendre l'anglais, plus jeune, je louais des tonnes de films traduits en français, surtout ceux de Bud Spencer et Terrence Hill. Ma mère a eu le choc de sa vie lorsqu'un jour, dans la boîte d'un de ces films, Deep Throat avait malencontreusement inséré. Une expérience formatrice pour le jeune cinéphile que je suis.

Bienvenue à tous, amusez-vous bien.

I welcome you all here, enjoy yourself.

Friday the 13th Part VII: New Blood (1988)

 Genre: Horror
Directed by: John Carl Buechler
Starring: Lar Park Lincoln, Kevin Blair, Susan Blu, Kane Hodder 
Running time: 88 minutes


 

Tina Shephard is a teenage girl with kinetic powers whose outburst, years before caused her alcoholic father’s death. Years later, she goes back to where it happened, Crystal Lake, with her mother and her doctor, hoping to learn to cope better with inadvertently causing her father’s demise. While on the waterfront, Tina accidently brings back Jason Voorhees to life. Jason goes back on a killing spree, attacking a group of teenagers having a party nearby, Tina and her entourage.

At this point, the ways to bring Jason back to life were getting sillier and sillier. Unfortunately, compared to the previous film, the acting and the interesting storyline were not there to save the day. The acting felt uninspired and the story was a mess. There were a few cool spots, but it mostly felt like an excuse to rehash something.
