Summary: Hodder enters the hockey mask
Review: Okay I'll admit, the Friday the 13th movie are some of my favorite movies ever, and I prefer them over Nightmare on Elm St. I do prefer the Halloween movies over this because Myers is my favorite killer but the F13 movies are still good. They are good movies but the dvd's they come on are just plain .... In this F13 movie, Kane Hodder is now Jason and is the best Jason ever. He is the only one whoever reprised the role as Jason Voorhees and kept being Jason from this film till Jason X. Friday the 13th Part VII - The New Blood is one of my favorite Friday the 13th sequels but the dvd has nothing good on it. All the dvd has is the movie, scene selection, and set up. THAT'S IT. It doesn't even have a trailer on it. The Friday the 13th movies made by Paramount Pictures were the best ones but they don't put much work in making the dvd's. You pay double the price for a dvd then a video but you don't get double the satisfaction. The only good Friday the 13th dvd's are the ones made by New line Cinema but the Friday the 13th movies they make aren't as good as Paramount's. Any way here is the plot.
It's now one year since Jason was chained underwater in Crystal Lake, and there is family who visits Chrystal lake every so often. One day, the daughter in the family, Tina (13 yrs old), watches as her mom and dad argue and her dad hits her mom. Tina then runs to a boat and tries to run away. Her dad tries to stop her and says he is sorry, but Tina says, 'I hate you, I wish you were dead' then all of sudden she had telikinetic powers that she used to kill her dad. Then the story fowards to 4 yrs later where tina is now 17. She comes back to her home because her psychiatrist, Dr. Crews (Terry Kiser) says its best to help but what she nor her mom knows is that Crews really intends to exploit her. While they are there, they happen to be next door to a group of partying (and ...) teens. Too bad none of them what will soon become of them. Tina becomes good friends with one of the kids named Nick, who may be the only one who understands her besides her mom. While she is there, she starts feeling more remorse about her father and then tries to bring him. She sensed that there was somebody in the lake and thought it was her dad and so helped the person get out. But the result wasn't at all what she expected. Instead of getting her dad, she gets a wierdo with a hockeymask. Jason returns and immediately goes back to what he does best-homicide! Crews says that all she is seeing are these visions made by her mind, he probobly only says that cuz he doesn't believe and let's not forget the fact that he is trying to exploit her. Nobody believes Tina, Nick would but he doesn't know anything about the situation. As for Jason, he returns to the camp and starts killing people off one by one. Tina's powers are her only hope for survival her powers do not seem to stand a chance at the axe-wielding maniac.
Overall, this seventh installment in the Friday the 13th series is one of the best follow ups ever. It is the last f13 that was good because it had all the basic elements- taking place in the woods,a killer on the loose, ... teens vacationing at a camp. After this, Part 8 came which is where the whole series went downhill. Afterall in pt 8 Jason went to Manhatton, then in part IX his spirit went from body to body, and in Jason X, he took outerspace. If you do decide to buy this movie then I strongly reccommend you get the video instead of the dvd. As I said before, the dvd is .... Save you money and something that is cheaper unless your rich and you are dying to own the whole series on DVD.

Summary: Begins slowly but has strong ending
Review: This seventh entry in the Friday the 13th saga finds everyone's favorite unhappy camper Jason Voorhees doing his usual camp business, until he meets his match up against a girl named Tina who has some powerful telekinetic gifts. Yes sir, the story is pretty much Carrie meets Jason, but The New Blood delivers most of the goods that have come to be expected by fans of the series. Also, this installment marks Kane Hodder's debut as Jason, who is arguably the best man to ever don the hockey mask. The kills are nicely done (despite the toned down gore count, you can just tell that there was many a edit here) as many garden tools are implemented, and the girls are nice looking; both of which are staples of the franchise. The climatic showdown between Jason and Tina more than makes up for the slow and predictable first half of the film, and while The New Blood isn't the best in the series, it's still a fun ride nonetheless.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: More bloody fun!
Review: Jason Voorees ( Camp Crystal Lake's most depised citizen) has been resurrected by a girl with telekinetic powers, he's now back to slaughter and mutilate more campers.

Good entry with some great gore-effects, hot chicks ( Man oh man, the series offers tons of hotties), some weak acting and tight intense script with a few decent scares makes this blood fun.

It's more in the tradition of Dario Argento's Phenomena than Friday The 13th.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best of the series
Review: Not sure why some didn't like this, maybe because it wasn't like all the others? This is why I liked it. There wasn't a lot that separated these movies apart, they began to be all the same. At least in this one Jason is put up again a very strong opponent, and he gets the crap kicked out of him. Think it's the only movie that Jason meets his match. I also thought the make up effects on Jason where the best of all them, they actually show him unmasked and it is the coolest thing: decaying face, teeth, eyes, the whole package is pretty gruesome. As original as Jason X, but better than Jason X!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not the worst, but not the best
Review: By this point, the F13 series was starting to drag. The storylines were becoming muddled and outlandish, even for an undead serial killer franchise. "Part VII - The New Blood" brought some interesting plot developments to the table, as well as some slightly better acting skills from the main characters. This is the first F13 where Jason has been confronted by someone with powers almost as potent as his - a troubled teenage girl with telekinesis who accidentally killed her father at Crystal Lake years ago. There are some good showdown scenes between Jason and the girl, and the final scene is fairly gratifying. Of course, the usual stalk 'n slash fare is in place; this is, after all, Jason flippin' Voorhees. Overall, this is not the best film in the series, but it is one of the better ones.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: not too bad
Review: Considering it's the SEVENTH in a long series, that loses steam as it goes, (or at least in MY opinion,) It's not too bad. Here we get away from the traditional "camp" scene of the first two, and even the third to an extent.....and find ourselves on Crsdtal Lake, with, the psycho girl able to move things with her mind, her "shady" psychiatrist, there under the guise of helping her overcome the grief of losing her father at the lake years ago, her clueless mother, and of course, a who gaggle of hormonally charged teenagers next door. It's standard FT13th stuff........Although the best part involves a weedwacker..................and we'll leave it at that!
Overall, this movie was alright......it stayed more on the track of the original, unlike Jason Goes to Hell (which, was a mistake!!!) And Jason X (which was not a cinematic masterpiece but, you knew that walking into the theater..............) My advice....If you have the series......get it.....if you just want to see it, either wait until it comes on T.V. if you don't mind it being cut (try a Friday the 13th, they're ALWAYS on where I am.....) or take a trip to Blockbuster! :-)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: IT'S A SHOWDOWN IN THE WOODS!
Review: This is my favourite out of parts 5-10.In this one,Jason starts showing his age,as well as his spine.Kane Hodder portrays Jason as a decayed zombified killer who's not running after his victims anymore.There's no need since he always catches up to them no matter how fast they run.Young Tina has the power to move objects with her mind.Uncontrolably,she sent her father to a watery grave below crystal lake.Of course,we know who else is down there.It's now a few years later and Tina is going back to the tragic scene with her mother.There,they meet up with a shrink with his own shadey plans for her.Filled with guilt,Tina tries to bring her father back,but accidently unleashes Jason instead.First,Jason kills just about all of the teenagers that moved in next door,then he goes after Tina's mother and the shrink.After another tragic occurance happens for Tina,she finally meets Jason.Next,is one awesome battle,as Tina knocks Jason about the place with her mind.Part 7 breaks from the mold of the ordinary survivor and puts Jason up against an extra-ordinary teenager.I give four stars instead of five,due to the nutty ending.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not the best, Not the worst
Review: I have seen better Fridays in my time, but sure of all this one beats the worst ones. The New Blood is something different in the jason saga, although it reminds me of the Final Chapter a plethora amount,but this one is different. A psychic child kills her dad using mind powers by drowning him in Crystal Lake when she is a teenager all of her guilt rises with her power she ressurects jason from under Crystal Lake by accident and well like always he starts killing a bunch of teens. The story was a little strange and unfamiliar to me, but it rates highly decent in the saga of Friday the 13th. Well in other words i expected a plethora amount worse but it turned out to be pretty good.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: rent it before you buy it
Review: The only reason I would think that someone would look at the reviews for a Friday the 13th movie is that they haven't seen it. If you are one of those individuals that haven't viewed this movie, then please go to blockbuster, hollywood video, videotime, or what ever other video rental store you go to and rent this movie and the rest of the series. Why? Because the Friday the 13th series is not for everyone. The DVD doesn't have many extras, mostly just trailers and commentary, so if you buy DVDs for the extras, and not the exellecent audio and picture, buy the VHS version.
