Starts right off with the ending of Part 6 with Jason being chained at the bottom of Camp Crystal Lake (called Lake Forest Green). This happens years later (supposedly) and it's now called Crystal Lake again and everybody has forgotten Jason. A telekinetic girl named Tina (Lar Park Lincoln) goes there with her mom and doctor--she's having trouble controlling her power. There's also a house full of brainless horny teens nearby. Lincoln accidentally revives Jason with her power and he's up and around again...
So-so movie. The idea is good (Jason vs. Carrie) but the execution is pretty dull. There are changes from the previous film--that took a more jokey approach to Jason--this one doesn't. And the theme music is back (if used far too often). Also we see, for one of the few times ever, Jason actually MOVING bodies of people he killed! But where exactly does he get all these power tools? I actually laughed when he fired up a grass trimmer and went after somebody. BTW, the body count here is 15--8 girls, 7 guys. We also have the expected gratuitous female nudity.
This does have a great ending where Lincoln uses her powers against Jason...but it goes on too long and has a real stupid resolution. Still it moves fairly quick, it has a rare black couple and some good acting (Lincoln is very good and Kevin Blair (now Spirtas) is handsome, hunky and good also). Jason's mask comes off too and the makeup underneath is REAL gruesome and effective.
All in all an OK sequel but no great shakes.. I give it a 5.
