Friday the 13th Part VII -- The New Blood Reviews

Others may be disappointed at another missed opportunity to revive a franchise that really feels like it's drowning at this point.

The seventh installment is better than expected, because it reserves the final duel between protagonists...something akin to Carrie vs. Jason. [Full review in Spanish]

This one's simply silly.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 21, 2021

Carrie vs Jason should be a slam dunk, but there are simply too many unmemorable characters pulling focus here. The production is marred by MPA cuts and studio interference that virtually guaranteed that the film never stood a chance.

While it's let down by a truly atrocious final two minutes, the climactic battle between Tina and Jason is worth the price of admission alone.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 25, 2021

Aside from its overt feminism, The New Blood is also a valuable exploration of childhood trauma and abuse, and how these events will shape us for the rest of our lives, usually for worse.

The infamous sleeping bag kill...

| Original Score: 5/10 | Aug 8, 2019

The filmmakers have mastered the blood but not the tedium of all of the predictable killings. Nor have they eliminated the '"hate-women" subtext to the entire series of films.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 6, 2018

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 6, 2015

The further look at how the series just became goofier and goofier and hinted at Jason's inevitable foray in to space.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Sep 3, 2011

Enough goodies to keep the true Voorhees fans feeling finally satisfied after seeing what they'd been waiting on for almost twenty-years.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 10, 2011

This new cleaner-looking version of The New Blood is miles ahead of what fans had access to previously on DVD

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 7, 2009

You cannot really take the results seriously, but they are fun, offering both...something never really shown in a

By this seventh entry in the series, being different just for the sake of it really is justification enough.

The anxieties suffered by Tina throughout the film are well thought-out by the franchise's typically one-dimensional standards.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 25, 2004

Does this even appeal to the hardcore Jason fans? I doubt it.
