FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VII: THE NEW BLOOD (1988)

[Update 1/21/2019: Removed most of the review since I didn't like it. Will rewatch and redo the review as soon as I get the time.]


I remember I was in middle school when this film came out.  I was already a huge F13 fan and the last movie (Part 6) was rad as fuck, so I was both skeptical and excited about the idea of the next film being Jason versus a girl with psychic powers.  But it ended up being pretty cool.  

Average pace, average kills (the only standout is the sleeping bag one), average special effects, poorly shot nudity of that one girl from SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE II and SOCIETY, zero gore, very little blood, one really hot girl, 80's fashions, fake as fuck looking severed head. 

Part 1 - Friday the 13th (1980)
Part 2 - Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981)
Part 3 - Friday the 13th Part III (1982)
Part 4 - Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984)
Part 5 - Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (1985)
Part 6 - Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986)
Part 8 - Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)
Part 9 - The Final Friday: Jason Goes to Hell (1993)
Part 10 - Jason X (2001)
Freddy vs Jason (2003)
Remake - Friday the 13th (2009)

Whoa.  She was drinking Slice in SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE II also.
