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.
