Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood was originally supposed to be Freddy Vs. Jason. However, when they couldn't come up with an agreement on how to do it, they changed it to the 7th entry in the Friday series. Apparently the writers were so lazy and stupid that they couldn't get their minds off the idea of Jason fighting someone, so they came up with the appallingly bad plot of a telekinetic girl(like Carrie), raising Jason from his watery grave and subsequently having to fight him off.
This must've been the movie where they realized no one cared anymore, because everything was done so sloppily it's not even funny. The acting is REALLY bad. I mean, it's not supposed to be great in an 80's slasher film, but they at least could have shot for soap opera level. The climatic battle between Jason and the freak girl is so ridiculous that you'll be laughing your way through it. You would think that this would at least be a good popcorn flick, but no...It's also boring as hell. Try sitting around waiting for something to actually happen. It's not that great. The only reason to watch this movie is to see Kane Hodder's first appearance as Jason (He played Jason in 7,8,9, and 10, and is considered to be the best). Also to watch Jason brutally murder (in completely unrealistic ways) the terrible cast. If you ever sit down for one of those Friday the 13th marathons they play from time to time, take this 2 hours to go do something fun until the 8th movie starts.
