Freitag, der 13. Teil 7 - Jason im Blutrausch

Wow! They were really reaching for a new idea for this one! This film could have easily been shortened to about 30 minutes or so. There are numerous chunks in this film that are utterly useless and simply to show yet another death.

I didn't think this film was very good at all. The whole girl with telekinesis sub-plot thing was a bit much for me. Although, it did make for an interesting fight between her and Jason towards the end of the film. ...But the actual end of the film was just atrocious! I nearly burst into laughter! I will give it this though, there were some pretty nice make-up effects at the end of the film and Jason did have a very sinister and disgusting look to him throughout the film. 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. If you didn't like the previous films I can't imagine you would like this one, but I have been wrong before...so do what you will. Anyhow, if you do see the film, I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for reading,

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. Well there's something you don't get everyday, man. Why did they put someone like that in? Someone who is like Carrie, please, Jason does typical murders, while she figures out how to control her powers, and tries to find out who is this Jsaon person. And the way she fights him is kind of pathetic, she just throws stuff at him and rips off his mask, can't she do something better, like smash him or send him flying to space? But then again that would be too weird, and it wasn't that exciting either. But I'll stop there. It did have everything else you'd expect in a slasher film, but I wish they could have done something else instead of a telekinetic person. Watch it if you're into it, or if you would still watch it even though it's like that.

Jason has met his match before, going down two-nil to Tommy Jarvis. However, this one is different! Her name is Carrie, but for some reason she uses the name Tina Shepard.

Camp Crystal Lake has been operating peacefully for years, ever since Tommy Jarvis chained Jason to the bottom of the lake. But, you see, in horror movies, any peace is bound to be interrupted eventually. Enter Tina Shephard. Years ago the Shephard family was on vacation at Crystal Lake, when Tina's father drowned under some bizarre circumstances. At the age of 17, Tina and her mother return to Crystal Lake with Tina's psychiatrist, Dr. Crews. Dr. Crews isn't what he seems, he is obviously more interested in exploiting Tina's psychic abilities rather than helping her. This isn't very important, because it isn't very long before Tina accidentally releases Jason from what should have been his watery-grave...

Yeah, this is your average slasher movie. All the characters are obvious stereotypes. Except for the sci-fi nerd sporting a mullet. I can honestly say I've never seen that before. Tina Shephard is basically a re-work of Carrie from... 'Carrie', but she is the films saving grace. Jason against a psychic made for a nice showdown. Other than that, I'm still wondering why people keeping going to Crystal Lake, only to be surprised when maniac wearing a hockey mask tries to kill them.

Apparently this was heavily censored. Kane Hodder makes a good Jason, and there are kills aplenty, but not much gore. Oh well, it had a nice musical score if that makes up for anything...

Not too bad entry in the series - 5/10

Jason is stuck at the bottom of Crystal Lake after the events of the last movie. Luckily for him there's a telekinetic girl (Lar Park-Lincoln) who cries a lot and has Carrie fits. She inadvertently frees Jason, thinking he's her dead father! Jason immediately starts killing people, naturally. The series was clearly trying to move in a new direction here with more of a focus on the paranormal and supernatural. Terry Kiser from Weekend at Bernie's plays a shrink in this. He's better with comedy. Lar Park-Lincoln's performance consists of crying or being on the verge of crying at all times. 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. He would be the longest-running Jason, playing him for the rest of the series. Frankly, I'm not a big fan of Hodder's Jason. He's too big and bulky, like a football player or pro wrestler. Plus they put him in some kind of suit where you are supposed to be able to see his exposed spine and ribcage. It's incredibly cheesy and just makes Jason cartoonish instead of intimidating.

Most of the people Jason kills in this one aren't particularly annoying or bad. The first couple seemed quite nice, actually. The whole vibe to this sequel seems off but it's still a watchable movie. Not the best of the series but far from the worst. There would only be one more decent one after this then it was downhill.

Again Jason Vorhees (Kane Hodder who did his own stunts) lurking and killing teens and mask wearing executing uncountable body-count . The film begins with flashbacks from previous part ; then Tina Shepard (Park Lincoln) kills accidentally his daddy on the docks in Crystal Lake . Years later , she returns with her mother (Susan Blue) and a psychiatrist who wishes to exploit her . Then , Tina with her telekinesis (Carrie-alike) power rises Jason from under lagoon with fateful consequences . Jason does a cruel massacre on young people (the B-star Elizabeth Kaitan , among them) using axe , cleaver and his supernatural force.

This seventh following contains horror , suspense , terrifying scenes , grisly killing , shocks and lots of blood . The storyline remains similar happenings and characters as well as predecessor entries and successive chapters . The flick takes accent as the thrills and chills , as well as the guts , gore and blood . John Carl Buechler was so impressed with Kane Hodder when he ate live worms on the set of Prison (1987) , that he pushed for Paramount Pictures to let him cast Hodder in the role of Jason . Atmospheric and creaking musical score by the usual Harry Manfredini . The motion picture was middlingly directed by John Carl Buechler , habitual make-up craftsman.

Followed by ¨Jason takes Manhattan Part VII (1989), ¨Jason goes to hell : The final Friday (1993)¨ ,Jason X (2002, James Isaac)¨, the final chapter is ¨Freddie vs. Jason (2003,Ronni Yu)¨, where again Jason emerges from Crystal Lake and confronting Freddie Kruger . And in production ¨Friday, the 13th¨ by Marcus Nispel with Jared Padelecki, Danielle Panabaker and produced by Michael Bay . The tale will appeal to Friday 13 series fans.
