Plot synopsis:
Months after the conclusion of the previous film, 10-year old Tina Shepard (Jennifer Banko) hears her alcoholic father physically abusing her mother. The emotional trauma unlocks Tina's previously latent telekinetic powers, which result in her father's death at the bottom of Crystal Lake.Ten years later, Tina (Lar Park Lincoln) is still struggling with guilt over her father's death. Her mother, Amanda Shepard (Susan Blu), and her doctor Dr. Crews (Terry Kiser) take her from the mental institution that she has been in and out of in the hopes of treating Tina's overwhelming guilt. When in fact, Dr. Crews plans to study and to exploit Tina's abilities by keeping her stress levels high. To make sure they are at their peak, Dr. Crews has them convene at their house at Crystal Lake where her father was killed. Despite suspicions of his true intentions, Tina allows herself to be subjected to the tests.Meanwhile, several teenagers are vacationing in the house next door setting up a surprise birthday party for their friend Michael (William Butler). Included are brainy Maddy (Diana Barrows); perky Robin (Elizabeth Kaitan); science fiction writer Eddie (Jeff Bennett); socialite snob Melissa (Susan Jennifer Sullivan); the stoner David (Jon Renfield); the preppy Russell (Larry Cox) and his girlfriend Sandra (Heidi Kozak); and Ben (Craig Thomas) and his girlfriend Kate (Diane Almeida). Nick (Kevin Blair) is Michael's cousin and aside from that, hardly knows the others. He becomes attracted to Tina and tries to start a relationship with her, despite her initial resistance, she becomes friends with most of the kids and takes strides to return to being "normal." But her situation and initial spite of Melissa who is also eying Nick cause a great deal of tension.After a particularly stressful session with Dr. Crews, Tina bursts out of the house and makes her way to the dock where her father died. Believing she senses him, she uses her telekinetic powers in an attempt to resurrect him, only to inadvertently free Jason (Kane Hodder) from his imprisonment. She tells her mother and Dr. Crews, who believe she is being delusional and seeing things. However, Jason returns to his duties by dispatching Michael and his girlfriend Jane along with a nearby camping couple, Dan and Judy, who all happen to be in the area.Tina panics when she sees a vision of Michael being killed and begins to doubt her own sanity, especially after direct evidence is apparently a delusion when she sends Dr. Crews to investigate. Dr. Crews discovers the bodies of Micheal and Jane and returns to the cabin not telling anyone what he saw. Amanda soon discovers Crews' true motives, however and overhearing the argument, Tina runs away, taking the car, which she crashes shortly afterward after having a vision of Jason killing her mother.Jason enters the grounds and kills Russell with an axe to the face and drowns Sandra in the lake while she is swimming naked.Maddy, who is out to prove she can be attractive like Robin for David, goes looking for him and discovers Russell's body before being killed with a sickle when she hides from Jason.Ben and Kate make up from an argument just in time for Jason to crush his skull and shove a party horn into Kate's eye. He kills David with a knife and moves upstairs to throw Robin out a window.Meanwhile, Tina and Nick reunite in the woods and discover Michael's body. During this time Jason makes his way downstairs to kill Eddie. Nick leaves Tina at the house to warn the other teens and soon discovers Eddie's body. He returns to find Tina gone and Melissa sneaking around the house. He begs her to stay, which she agrees. Amanda and Dr. Crews discover Amanda's car, and during their investigation they discover Jason. After a short run, Dr. Crews holds Amanda as a human shield and she is killed by Jason who stabs her in the back with a scythe. Crews tries to escape, but he is killed by Jason who uses a tree saw.Tina finds her mother's body, then follows Jason back to the camp, discovering bodies along the way before confronting him. Distraught and enraged over her mother's death, Tina finally begins using her telekinetic powers to keep Jason outside of arm's reach. She finally seems to kill him by dropping the roof of one of the house porches on him, but it only slows him down.Tina meets with Nick in which they return to her house and they run into Melissa where they tell her what is going on. Melissa thinks that its all a sick joke, but when she opens the front door to leave Jason appears and axes her in the head, throwing her over a TV set. Tina continues to use her powers to keep Nick from being killed, eventually throwing Jason into the house basement. She douses him with gasoline and uses the furnace's fire to ignite it. She and Nick make their way to the docks just as the house goes up in an enormous explosion.Jason comes back and knocks Nick unconscious and incapacitates Tina. Using her powers, she finally resurrects her father who wraps Jason's chains around him and pulls the killer back into the lake before Tina passes out.The following morning, Nick and Tina are placed into an ambulance where she tells him that "they" took care of Jason, meaning her and her father. Someone discovers Jason's mask, torn in two as the ambulance pulls off into the morning light.

Review: Lar Park-Lincoln was excellent as Tina Shepard she is my all time final girl in the Friday the 13th movies she is great and excellent I love this film to death.
I love Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood is the best one in the series in my opinion it is way better movie then all 4 Carrie movies.
I am just tired of Carrie movies so the writers make a character Tina that is a good person in which she accidentally release Jason Voorhees (Kane Hodder) from his prison in which Tommy chained him in previous installment.This one is unique because there's actually development given to its heroine, Tina, and how she gradually learns the extent of her powers.
The final showdown is pretty bad-ass, though.This movie to me is awesome and excellent because of Lar Park-Lincoln as Tina Shepard and Kane Hodder as Jason Voorhees.
Dream Girl by FM, Magic (In Your Eyes) by FM they are good songs for this film.I love the new cast in this movie I love this girl Susan Jennifer Sullivan as Melissa to death she was evil but really great hot sexy girl that was killed from Jason.
In The New Blood, Tina's able to fully harness her telekinetic powers by the end of the film and she uses the powers to defeat Jason which is what happened, more or less, in The Dream Master.Buechler was disappointed that the film did not explore Tina's powers more, Composer Fred Mollin came up with theme music for Tina "because she was a psychic.This movie is the best but so underrated and cut out which got rating x and the movie was cut.
The popular, money-making slasher series continues with Lar Park Lincoln (the best leading actress in the Friday films) as Tina Shepherd, a pretty teen with telekinetic abilities who accidentally uses her powers to release Jason (Kane Hodder) from his underwater grave.
To justify some of the murders, many of the characters, like shrink Terry Kiser (who plots to exploit Tina) and Susan Jennifer Sullivan (great blonde bitch) obviously deserve to die.Gore-wise we have a decapitation, a hand thrust through a chest, a party horn stuck in an eyeball, an axe to the face (twice), a drowning, a body thrown out a window and, the best murder, well I won't ruin it by saying it involves a sleeping bag and a tree, but it's a hoot.The make-up FX are great, the women look good (and several of them have nude scenes) and there's a surprise ending you may not expect, but still not much plot.
There is nothing you really haven't seen before in the previous Friday the 13th entries, save for the psychic girl who uses her powers to fight against Jason, which I thought was a pretty clever plot device.The script is pretty basic but for a movie at 88 minutes, there is really no room for boring fillers and you might find yourself at least mildly entertained if you don't mind watching the usual Jason chases teens stuff.Grade C.
Some people have called this film Carrie VS Jason and I can see why, Tina's powers are similar to Carrie's in the fact that her emotions control her power.Kane Hodder stars as Jason for the first time before playing him again in Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhatten, Jason goes to Hell: The Final Friday and Jason X.The killings are good and gory in parts and Jason's make up with and without the mask look great and grotesque.A must for Friday the 13th fans.
The New Blood is the second worst installment in the Paramount era Friday the 13th movies - edged out, ever-so-slightly by Jason Takes Manhattan.I'm always perplexed by how many fans embrace this entry.
Two reasons for that were the presence of director John Carl Buechler calling the shots and scriptwriter Daryl Haney credited as co-scripter.I've always loved my B movies, and these two masters of their respective craft have been attached to some of my favourites down through the years, Buechler's Cellar Dwellar is still one of my favourite Empire movies, and as for Haney, he hit the nadir of his career when he worked for both Harry Bromley Davenport & Axis Films International.Now as for Part 7 - The New Blood, how do you resurrect everyone's favourite bogeyman when he's been anchored deep beneath the murky waters of crystal lake, why not introduce a girl called Tina, who many years earlier consigned her errant father to a watery grave via her ability for telekinesis.Then of course when she feels that she needs comforting she accidentally brings back everyone's favourite bad guy, who naturally picks up where he left off, slicing and dicing.Lar Park Lincoln excels in the role of the adult Tina, emoting very well the stresses and strains of being a teenager with an unusual talent, but the Oscar for the best bad guy on screen, aside from Jason that is must surely go to Terry Kiser as Tina's snake in the grass svengali Doctor Crews.Although many people expect a film like Friday the 13th and it's respective sequels to have bum acting and less than sterling scripts, but that is certainly not so, as Friday The 13th Part 4 - The Final Chapter & Buechler's seventh entry in the series will attest to.Why even Kane Hodder brings his usual panache to the role he made his own.As sequels go, this one get's my full attention every time, 10/10.
Tina, along with her mother Amanda, and "doctor", Dr. Crews, return to Crystal Lake to try and help Tina with what Crews tells her is a major problem (her telekinesis) and believes that she is best helped at the place where a tragic incident happened to Tina some years ago, where her uncontrollable powers may have been responsible for her father's death.Arriving at the family holiday home at Crystal Lake, Tina meets Nick and a bunch of other teens who are staying at the house next door for a surprise birthday party for Nick's cousin.
Naturally, as with all "Friday" films, the death scenes are all censored.The glamorous Lar Park Lincoln plays Tina Shepard, and gives a terrific performance of this heroine unlike any other Jason has ever fought!
However, it is certainly Lar Park Lincoln that carries the film, and even without the spectacular show down with Jason, she does an amazing job of portraying a tormented, powerful young woman who ends up being one of the best heroines in all horror films..
New Blood is a GREAT friday sequel & a great supernatural Thriller in it's own right.This 1988 film has possibly the best looking Jason of the franchise!!!
Horror legend Kane Hodder, in his first performance as Jason, faces a teenager, Tina Shepard, who has telekinetic powers, played by the gorgeous Lar Park Lincoln.
Another Jason movie, ah yes,takes place years after Tommy Jarvis, and it seems like he's gone, guess again, a girl with telekinetic powers tries to get her dad back, but because she wasn't aware of her power, and didn't know how to control it properly, she accidentally brings Jason back, and oh no he's at it again.
My sister used to love this entry in the series because of the angle with the telekinetic girl and the handsome guy who looks like he belongs at a Superman audition.First movie in the series where Kane Hodder plays Jason.
Film then begins with a young girl named Tina with telekinetic powers accidentally killing her father on Camp Crystal Lake, and then how, years later, she returns there with her mother and psychiatrist to sort out her problems, only Tina, hoping to bring back her father, instead revives Jason Voorhees, still chained in the lake, though now free to resume his killing ways with another group of unfortunate teenagers.
Only Tina, using her telekinetic powers, has a chance to stop him...Aside from the novelty of Jason having an equally powerful opponent to contend with, this tepid, contrived sequel has little else going for it, though Kane Hodder is very good as Jason, and film a step up from earlier sequels(which isn't saying much!).
The film is basically about this teenage girl who thinks she killed her dad during a dispute and come to the Crystal Lake with here mom and shrienk to work things out because everytime she gets angry her teleconises goes off the charts which just so happens to wake Jason.

But before we get there, we get mostly the same tried and true formula, as a typical assortment of none too bright young adults meet their maker by coming to the woods intending to party.What helps in this case is the reasonably compelling story of the very troubled Tina (the sexy Lar Park Lincoln, displaying a convincing amount of vulnerability), at war with her own inner demons and with her despicable psychiatrist, Dr. Crews, who's far more interested in her abilities than with her.This would actually be a pretty good story with or without Jason's involvement.
All of those elements make The New Blood a solid Horror film and one of the the better films in the FFriday The 13th series.Friay The 13th Part VII:The New Blood tells the story of Tina(Lar Park Lincoln),a trouble young woman who has telekinetic powers who by accident resurrects Jason Voorhees(Kane Hodder)who is back to kill more campers.Two years after the excellent,thrilling and high octane sequel Friday The 13th Part VI:Jason Lives came the 1988 release Friday The 13thLPart VII is a fantastic and entertaining sequel that is notable for being the first of four Friday The 13th movies starring fan favorite Kane Hodder in the role of Jason Voorhees which is called the Kane Hoddeer era which also includes Jason Takes Manhattan,Jaaon Goes To Hell and Jason X but out of of the four movies The New Blood is the best of them all.
If you knew the Friday The 13th series like the back of your hand you know what to expect with this film:a high body count of Slasher movie ste,kills and our favorite Hockey Mask wearing Serial killer doing what he does best and that is slaughtering people.
The New Blood expands on the supernatural elements that was in Jason Lives and takes it a step further by adding a telekinetic element to the film The Friday The 13th series was at it's creative peak by Part VII but at least at it's peak it tried something new.
And what about the known staples of the3 franchise such as the kills blood and gore well while the kills are interesting and at times good they lack the creativity and suspenseful build-up you saw in some of the other films although there is a couple stand outs including one with a sleeping bag that is great.
Great score,Manfredini and Rollin.In final word,if you love the Friday The 13th series,Horror films or Slasher Movies,I highly suggest you see Friday The 13th Part VII:The New Blood,a terrific sequel that is one of the best in the series.
I thought it was odd that Jason seemed to use a new weapon every time he made a kill, and it was hilarious when he busted out that electric long-reach saw.If you like the Friday the 13th films, then go ahead and watch this one, you might like it.
The story now revolves around Tina, the girl with telekinetic abilities, who must fight with Jason; the potential of this idea is realized quite good, but don't forget this is a slasher film first of all.
The special effects in this movie are also thoroughly enjoyable, especially the unmasking of Jason, which is the best interpretation of the unmasked Jason (once dead) ever.Plot becomes the main focus of FT13 VII, considering that it is more involved with the lives of the characters versus other films which beg for them to die quick and painful deaths.
this movie i think was the best out of the series.it has the best plot i think with the girl having special mental powers she developed over causing her fathers death.Jason had never dealt with someone who could fight him from a distance it was all new to him.but as Jason typicality does he still kept coming.that girl Melissa is the stuck up up one i wont tell you what happens to her but trust me it isn't good.Tina the girl with the metal powers is immediately picked on by almost everyone except for nick and the nerdy girl of the camp.Melissa is jealous of Tina because nick shows her affection and none in return for Melissa.which is just what she deserved..
The special effects in this film are great and the final confrontation between Jason and Tina is by far the best in the entire series.
Granted, this doesn't quite fit in with Part IV, but I like the idea- it shows that Hodder actually tried to build a sense of character and "rules" for Jason to follow.The film is also quite a bit of fun at times.
Overall, with Friday THE 13th - Part VII: The New Blood, I freaking like this one a little more than the sixth film and the plot of Tina having telekinesis brought some life into this franchise after following that freakshow that was Tommy Jarvis in parts 4-6.Like I said, it is not the best of the six films in the Jason franchise that I like, but I would have expected much better than this film, but I don't hate it at all.6.5 / 10..
Kane Hodder is amazing as the new and improved rotting super zombie Jason, probably the best Jason there ever was.A movie like this should be bad but it actually has very little flaws.
This entry in the Friday the 13th series while improving on the pile of crap that was part 6 does not match up to the first 4 or even the fifth.The Fridays had by this point had to tone down so much of the sex and violence that they had become boring and had lost something.The plot to this one was interesting, but the location looked awful and it looked like it was shot on a video camera.Introducing the girl with the powers meant that they could have had a really good battle at the end however as it was Jason was stopped with the aid of some rather dodgy special effects that makes it look like the effects budget of Children of the Corn 3 was the equivalent of that other awful movie Titanic..
John Carl Buechler's "Friday the 13th Part VII:The New Blood" is nothing in comparison to "Jason Lives".Still its a decent addition to the series,unfortunately it was absolutely butchered by the MPAA.The cuts in some gore scenes are almost laughable.This time Jason Voorhees rises from his water grave awakened by Tina,the telepathic hero of the movie.He kills everyone who gets into his way.The makeup of Kane Hodder,who plays Jason on the prowl,is absolutely excellent.His clothes are tattered and his bones are exposed.He is a pure walking dead.Unfortunately there is no suspense whatsoever and the acting is rather bad.Anyway,for those who don't mind the same old type "Friday the 13th" picture,then pick this one up.7 out of 10..
This makes the final 1/3 of the movie much more suspenseful than any of the other "Friday the 13th" films.Lar Park Lincoln is fantastic as Tina Shepard, easily one of the best characters in the "Friday the 13th" saga.
So I'm guessing "The Final Chapter" flew over the studios heads like an Hawk.A New Blood is set years after Jason being chained to the bottom of Crystal Lake, he is awoken by a girl with telekinetic powers and begins another killing spree.How did this series get here?
Years after Tommy Jarvis has drowned Jason Voorhees (Kane Hodder) into Camp Crystal Lake, it seems a former Crystal Lake resident who happens to be a beautiful psychic teen girl named Tina (Lar Park Lincoln) who accidentally killed her father long ago in the lake comes back.
A telekinetic-gifted girl accidentally frees the Crystal Lake slasher from his watery grave, unleashing the murdering madman to do what he does best.As for the acting, then they had some nice talents on the cast list, including Lar Park-Lincoln as Tina, Terry Kiser as Dr. Crews and, of course, Kane Hodder as Jason."Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood" takes the physical decay of Jason further and the effects and make-up department really did fantastic jobs, especially when Jason is unmasked.
She makes Jason look like an idiot when they start fighting at the end of the film.This Friday THE 13th has much extreme and better kills than JASON LIVES and they are not overly gory (thanks to the studio, Paramount Pictures, cutting out most of the blood and gore) and I think that is really amazing, but they are so imaginative.The characters in this film are some that you feel for in this film, but Tina's mom and Maddy are two characters that come to mind of people that you don't want to see get murdered by Jason.

Very good entry in the series and Kane Hodder debutes as Jason in this film.
