Summary: Very interesting and a good mix
Review: I have never really been a fan of the Friday series ( Im much more or a Freddy fan ) but the series has interested me and I have watched a few of the movies in the series ( part 1, 2, Jason X and Freddy Vs Jason and of course this one ) and this has to me one of my favorite out of the bunch I have viewed. It is so clever and interesting that it is a great part of the series ( not to mention one of my favorite movies is Carrie and this features a telekinetic girl ) and I will have to buy it!

Tina killed her father at a young age when he hit her mother. He went right into crystal lake, where Jason is when we last left him in part 6. And we then meet up again with Tina years later and discover she is in counciling for the death of her father. This story is so unlike the rest in the series it could have done well not under the name of FRIDAY THE 13TH. But it is and Tina returns to CL do continue counciling and meets up with a party and joins them just as she awakens Jason and he comes up and does what he does best and swings that machettee for about an hour. Then the two ( tina and jason ) meet face to face and duke it out.

This is a good movie and could have been possibly better if we could have actually SEEN the gore and eaths happen. But while the gore was taken almost completely out it only opened more room for suspense which what makes a horror moive great...and this is close to it. This is a must see if you're a huge fan of the series and even if you're not, it's still a good moive that will interest you and at the same time make you quiver.

Summary: Dull!!
Review: "Friday the 13th Part 7, The New Blood" is way wrongly titled, there is no new blood here, just transplanting old blood around, and dosn't work. Yes, there's the telekinetic girl that hurts Jason a little, but that just wasn't enough. There is still the useless teenagers who only exist to die horribly (though not too bloodily, thanks to the MPAA), and the parent or authority figure is pointless. There is only one good thing, and that is Jason's apperance. He is rotted and his bones are showing much of the time, especially his spine. Overall, it's a waste of time, little sex, dry kills, it's pretty pitiful. Wait for it to come on TV.

Summary: newbloodreview
Review: As we all know this movie was something new in the friday the 13th series. The audience was introduced to a girl with telekenetic powers, which in my opinion was not a bad idea. The movie was slow at times, and was not the most exciting of the movie series, but for the most part it was still fun too watch. One thing I also liked about this movie is that there are a couple of characters who the audience can really feel bad for. One of them was Tina's mom, while the other was a sweet, innocent, nerdy girl named Maddy. When I first saw this movie I actually felt bad for this poor girl even if it was just a movie.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Less gore = less fun...Please release uncut versions!
Review: Make-up & special effects man John Carl Buechler directed this 7th entry to the Friday the 13th series coming right on the heels of that '86 masterpiece, Troll. This is the one where Jason is still at the bottom of Crystal Lake chained to a big rock until the girl with telekenetic powers revives him by accident. This is a decent entry as far as they go, but the gore factor is weak for a Jason film. Maybe its because this is an edited version of the film, but Jason's kills are even less creative. At one point he throws a girl out a window...thats it! You get the feeling that money was trying to be saved in this one, which doesn't make sense considering the money this series pulls in. I've heard there are uncut versions of these films so viewing this film with all gore intact might have great effect. There are rumors of a box set possibly in 2004 so I'm waiting for that. Hopefully they will be uncut versions of all the films because thats what the fans want. As for "New Blood" as a film, its still fun, the only thing that makes it different from other entries is the battle between Jason and Tina the girl who can move objects with her mind. Jason is also unmasked and visible at great lengths in the conclusion which is good and bad. Kane Hodder does a great job, in this his first of 4 films as Jason. Still the edits make it kind of lame, reducing gore which is kind of the whole point.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Friday The 13th" meets "Carrie".
Review: I REALLY enjoyed this movie alot. Not only does this 7th installment of the 'Friday' films deliver plenty of suspenseful scares, but non-stop action at every turn! Jason is back, and he's more thirsty for blood than ever, as the body count for his victims continue. When young Tina and her widowed mother move back to their old home (which ironically is near Camp Crystal Lake.)her psychic powers mistakingly release the undestructable psycho killer from his grave! After almost up to 15 brutal deaths, Jason and Tina finally duke it out in an electrifying ray of special effects and explosive entertainment! 'New Blood' may not be a "good" entry in the series, but for those who are looking for something different this time around rather than the usual find-the-counselor-and-kill routine will not be disapointed! Jason is much stronger than he used to be and this time, nothing can stop him... But one.

Summary: They're kidding, right?
Review: I give this one star only because jason looks cool. Yeah, it's that bad.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Hockey-Masked Murderer Returns... (4.5 stars)
Review: This "Friday the 13" movie has a creative story and script behind it, I must admit. It adds more of a supernatural element to it all (besides the walking corpse who wears a hockey mask and kills people with various sharp instruments). Definitely one of the better films in the Jason series, "Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood" is a blood-soaked movie with thrills, excitement and entertainment.

Tina Shepard has the ability to see the future and is able to move things with her mind. She's been able to do this ever since she was little. She has been brought back to Crystal Lake to face her past and find out why she can do all of these things (not knowing that the real reason her doctor has brought her there is to exploit her). Then something unimaginable happens; with her Telekinesis she has unchained Jason from the bottom of the lake, enabling him to start his bloody rampage all over again. The only thing is that Jason might've found the only person who can take him down once and for all. Can Tina put the hockey-masked killer to rest for good? Or will she be another number to add to Jason's body-count?

I thought this one had a really cool idea behind it all. Again, the makers of this movie are trying to achieve something a little different and have succeeded. They still don't shy away from the initial purpose of a Jason movie. There is an extra story to it all, but we still get to see Jason slaughtering people left and right. That's really the only reason we want to see these movies. We want to see him in action and we want to see how he is taken out of the picture. And, Jason looks his best in this one, I must say. Never have I seen the make-up so up to par. He looks INCREDIBLE. I don't think he looks nearly as good in any of the other movies. One of the big pluses for the movie.

Again, the DVD is very lacking in the special features department. The movie looks and sounds great. That part of the DVD was done in an excellent manner. However, there are NO special features at all. Not a trailer in sight, nor anything else for that manner. I wished Paramount would put more effort into these DVDs. Still, it doesn't take anything away from the movie, at least. Just would've been nice to have some extras to play around with.

"Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood" is an excellent movie in the Jason series. It has a great story, great concept, and most of all some really cool death scenes. This is definitely one of the better ones in the series, without a doubt.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Jason resurrected
Review: When I first saw this movie, I thought it was extremly bad. The plot is so unbelieveably bad that I have no clue why this movie was bad. This film is about a telekintic girl brings back Jason to life. I know it sounds very chessy, but after viewing this film a few times later. Well I have to say I was entertained. You can't take this film seriously and its just another example of a 80's chessy movies. But hey, I enjoyed it and I didn't fall asleep to it. So I give this movie more like a 3.7 .

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: good idea with a bad outcome
Review: Alot of people refer to Part 7 as "Jason vs. Carrie". I can see that. After all, the heroine in this movie has telopathic abliities. Still, as creative as "Jason vs. Carrie" could have been, which is why I'm giving it a second star just to be nice, Part 7 proved to be another sequel that went down the tubes especially when compared to the success of Part 6. You get to see the dead version of Jason without the mask at the end of the movie but it's really no big deal. I tried to like Part 7, I really did, but the movie was just somewhat dull. Along with Part 5, I suggest skipping this one and moving on to Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Waste of time, and money!
