Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood, is nothing original but nonetheless clever. The idea of having Jason Vorhees(the supernatural evil entity) and Tina Shepard (the gifted telekinetic) battling against each other on a pretty even playing field is a really good concept. However having said that, a good concept doesn't necessarily make this film a strong entry in the franchise. The film did not seem to have a storyline which matched up with the ending of part 6, even though there is some stock footage at the beginning. Camp Crystal Lake is nowhere to be seen, and how Jason ended up in front of Tina's family cottage while chained to a boulder is illogical. Also there is a lack of reason with Dr. Crews, Tina's psychiatrist, intentions and motivations. The escalating climatic battle between both Jason and Tina was good, but more of Tina's abilities should have been used and the battle should have been much more creative and slightly prolonged. Unfortunately the climatic ending was a great disappointment, and it seems as though the writers just thought of the easiest and most predictable ending to go to. The biggest question I have for this ending is, "What was Tina's dad still doing at the bottom of the lake, after 10 years?"--> "Tina and Amanda you've got some explaining to do."
