Summary: Voorhees, a jolly-good fellow!
Review: Jason's movies are many;
Part Five was a bomb, Part Eight was a dud.
The best of the series?
Definitely "The New Blood!"

For a white-hot babe,
(You know who I'm thinkin')
you can't go far wrong
when you choose Lar Park Lincoln.

A more frightening Jason,
(chasing Susan Blu's daughter)
portrayed to perfection
by tough-man Kane Hodder

I'm afraid of his mask
and his rotating saw,
but nothing's more chilling than
"Ch-ch-ah-ah!"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Get some Jason!
Review: A good corpse can't stay down for long and Jason comes back from the dead again with an all new story line. The 'Tommy' era going from parts 4-6 is over and it's time for Jason to get some 'New Blood'.

A hot young (but disturbed) psychic girl accidently revives Jason with her mind powers. She has some issues over her involvement about killing her dad, so her headshrinker brings her back to the spot where she killed her father in the first place (Crystal Lake). The doc doesn't give a damn about her or her dad, but just wants to harness her powers for his own purposes (which are never revealed).

And just out of coincidence, there's a nearby house where a group of teens are having a birthday party weekend. So Jason's back, gnarlier and more pissed off than ever, and a group of kids who've never even heard of Jason.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Enough already!
Review: As is to be expected, by the time the infamous Jason embarked on his sixth foray into mass murder (remember that the madman’s mother was our murderess in part 1), the concept had grown quite stale. In this episode, a telepathic, telekinetic girl named Tina, who at an early age caused the death of her father by collapsing a pier on which he was standing, moves to Camp Crystal Lake with her mother to try and escape the horrible memories. However, when she arrives, her powers accidentally rise Jason from the watery grave into which he fell in #6. Add in a group of (...)teenagers (staying at the house next door to Tina’s) and you’ve got the classic (read tiresome) “Friday The 13th” formula. The scares don’t work, the dialogue is stupefyingly inane, even for this type of film, and a dumb subplot involving an evil psychiatrist out to exploit Tina is so ridiculous it defies words.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Breathing new life into a dying series
Review: Face it, The New Blood has to be the best of all the F13 sequels. The movie focuses on the campground/dark forest setting, moreso than in the previous films. You get the orange & brown colors that really set the tone. Jason isn't really in the movie for the first 45 minutes, which is a first. Usually the formula is: Jason is revived, Jason kills two lost people, Jason kills people having sex, Jason tries to kill main character, Jason dies (for the time being). But instead in this film, you get a lot of character development and you begin to feel strongly for a lot of characters. Some of the characters are so unlikeable and cruel that you will cheer for Jason when he revs up that weedwhacker, especially on Tina's doc. Pt. 7 also contains one of the coolest killings in a F13 movie: The sleeping bag scene. Overall, The New Blood is probably the best film after the first.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Perhpas my favorite in the series.
Review: When it comes to Friday the 13th, my opinions of which ones in the series I think are "good" is different from the average fan's. The New Blood, despite it's lame title, could very well be my favorite in this long-running series. Why is that? First of all, it features the zombie Jason going on his usual mad-killing spree but this time, like The Final Chapter, there's actually suspense. Director Buechler sets up the shocks well and the movie is viscerally thrilling. But what sets it above the others is Lar Park Lincoln, who delivers a pretty good performance and is definitely a huge cut above the average slasher heroine. Plus, her psychic powers lead to a very fun finale, which features her using her abilities to throw all kinds of objects at Jason, whether it be a couch or some nails. Plus, the make-up effects are very well-done and Jason now looks like the formidable hulking opponent he is. I also recommend Part 4, 6, and Jason Goes to Hell.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Fady Ghaly's review
Review: I personally prefer the older films, and when you have a synopsis that's as silly as this one, such a belief's weight merely increases. Nevertheless, despite its synopsis being so silly that the film might as well be entitled "Carrie Vs. Jason", it really was the scariest, most stylish and atmospheric entry of all. "Originally this movie was going to unite Freddy and Jason for the first time," explains director/special effects expert John Carl Buechler. "Obviously it didn't happen, as neither New Line Cinema, nor Paramount Pictures could figure out how to go to bed together. From what I've been told, they both wanted to distribute. Anyway, a lot of work had been done on the script prior to my arrival, and it seemed they wanted a guy who was a good director, and could handle special effects. I guess that's why they interviewed me for the job. I figured that I was a long shot, though Frank Mancuso Jr. had said that he'd liked my movie Troll. I thought that I really put my foot in it when I spoke my mind about the Friday the 13th Movies. I didn't like them. I thought that they were dull and needed to go in a fresh direction. Apparently Frank and Barbara Sacks, his associate producer, liked what I had to say and I got the job. So when Freddy fell out of the picture it was decided not to scrap all the development work that had been done. They still wanted to make a big effects film. Launching into Daryl Haney's concept of a supernatural nemesis for Jason would be essentially to replace Freddy with a 'Carrie' clone. Thus 'Tina' was born and Daryl wrote an interesting screenplay; Friday the 13th, Part 7: The New Blood was green-lighted! I've always respected the mythos of movies in a series and considered it important to continue that which had been established; after all, tons of fans take these movies as gospel. As I wanted to build on the strong foundation of what had gone before, then move ahead in a new way; we did! It was clear to me that the ratings board would no longer allow graphic make-up effects as they had previously been used in this series. Nonetheless, we created our share of gore knowing that it would be censored out. I decided to use make-up and special effects in such a way as to still create impact. So I devised a new and improved Jason!" And had he ever, for this utterly alluring Jason was so profoundly similar to a zombie in every possible aspect, that it had not at all appeared as if he was even being portrayed by an actor! Particularly with the help of his decaying and subverted figure, which exposed of such endoskeleton parts as the ribcage and spinal cord! This is undoubtedly the way Jason should've always been...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: One of the Best of the Franchise
Review: Alright, I know what you're saying, Jason versus a telekinetic, how corny, but if you give this movie a chance you'll see it kicks butt. The costume for Jason is the best out of the franchise and Jason is at his bloody worst (or best). He uses all new inventions of mayhem and has some pretty gruesome scenes.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Jason rules in this one
Review: Jason looks more evil than ever. One of the best entries in the FRIDAY saga since JASON LIVES. Part VII was the first FRIDAY I ever actually owned and the next I plan on owning are parts One, Four and Six. Jason Voorhees is the 2nd best slasher movie anti-hero ever, Michael Meyers obviously being the best. Remember kids.. If you plan on making a slasher movie, remember not to make the killer a wise-cracking one liner wise guy with a cornball sense of humor (ie. Freddy).. silent masked death is always better. that is all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Long live the king
Review: Okay, now this is what it's all about. The most worthless cast I've ever seen---and Jason Vorhees there to make it all right. By this time, Jason has become a super-powered zombie imprisoned in Crystal Lake. A girl with telekenetic powers raises him from his watery grave, and the party begins. The sniveling teens go down one by one, as Jason lays down the law! I've seen this movie about seventy times and I never get sick of it. ... Long live the King!!!
