5/5 Another superb sequel done right on DVD!
  by John Lindsey (Socorro, New Mexico USA.)
Years after Tommy Jarvis put Jason Voorhees (Kane Hodder) back in the bottom of Crystal Lake where he belongs, a beautiful young teen girl named Tina Shepard (Lar Park Lincoln) was once a resident there as a child when she accidently killed her father with her psychic powers. Her mother (Susan Blu) takes her back to consult with a doctor (Terry Kiser) about the trauma she's been through. While she's there, Tina meets up with a group of youths including Nick (Kevin Spirtas) and Melissa (Susan Jennifer Sullivan) befriend her and she also accidently unleashes Jason from his watery tomb as he unleashes more ghastly mayhem abound.

Another fantastic entry of the neverending horror franchise "Friday The 13th"! Here you have plenty of nude babes, graphic gore even though some were cut out, decent performances and a nice premise. I love the idea of a telekinetic/psychic girl in that Akira, Scanners and Carrie tradition and Jason looks more [...] then ever even without his mask during the amazing climax. The gore here is quite nice with a body count of 16 dead bodies including a death by party-favor which is just unbelievable, originally this was suppose to be Freddy Vs. Jason at the time but New Line and Paramount Pictures could agree to it so the idea was changed to a Carrie-like girl vs. Jason premise instead. It wasn't until 1992 when New Line Cinema bought the rights to the franchise that it would be possible for Jason to meet Freddy as it was hinted at the end of "Jason Goes to Hell" then 10 years later, wallah in 2003 "Freddy Vs. Jason".

This DVD offers brilliant picture and sound quality even with the remastering done right with some cool extras like audio commentary, three featurettes and slashed scenes with intro on the stuff that the MPAA had to cut out to avoid an X rating.

2/5 A fan favorite. REALLY?
  by David J. Brown
Yeah, this one is famous for being a Friday the 13th fan's high mark. I really can't see why though. It's pretty awful. It doesn't even have the cheap thrills of over the top gore, or the intentional humor of part 6. The only thing cool, for me at least, about this entry is the fact that Jason's zombie-fied make-up design is really cool and genuinely innovative. Plus, having Kane Hodder don the hockey mask for the first time could be considred worth something. It's weird how Hodder became the most famous Jason but starred in the character's least watchable films.

I've heard a lot of fanboy fumblings regarding that in this film Jason finally met a worth apponent, someone who could actually stand up to him. Right. So instead of a calvacade of different characters causing Jason damage we get one chick. Oh, and she's telekentic to boot. Real innovative guys. Really. It doesn't help that the results of her telekentic powers are some of the worst and cheesily hilarious special effects ever put on film. Carrie was made over ten years before this flick and the effects of her powers were much more interesting and believable. It doesn't help that our 'final girl' Tina is a whiney, jittery, froo-froo dog of a person that spends most of her time running somewhere to cry like she was in a bad 80's after school special either. Lar Park Lincoln is a pretty actress, despite her frizzy silly hair cut, but this film gives her nothing to do but be annoying.

This entry in the series is notorious for two things: 1, How the MPAA butchered the money shots in every death scene, and 2, the horrible ending. This is the most meatless Jason film ever made. At least if the over the top gore had been left in tact the film would have some laughs and some awe-inspiring, cringe-inducing moments to look forward to, but without them it's very rote and boring. The ending is just awful in the final film and the rough cut ending. The ending was just a bad idea from inception. At least in the rough cut version we get to see some nifty zombie make up on zombie make up action, but the idea is still pandering and silly.

As for the new Deluxe edition DVD, well it's nothing to get too excited about. Unlike the first four films the transfer is about the same quality as the original box set's. So the film still looks good visually. Nope, no reinstated gore scenes put back into the film. We get them again in their rough cut form, introduced by director and creature creator John Carl Buechler(Troll, Ghoulies, Carnasaur) similar to the way they were presented in the box set release's Extras disc. We get a new retrospective doc running about 11 minutes that has new interviews with Buecler and Kande hodder, and importing vintage footage of Lar Park Lincoln from the box sets retro doc. Nothing really new is said regarding the film. It's the same stuff we found out with the From Crystal Lake to Manhattan box set. We also get a newly recorded commentary track featuring Buecler, Lar Park Lincoln, and a phoned in Kane Hodder. The original box set's disc of this film also had a commentary by Hodder and Buechler, so most of the new commentary is monopolized by Lincoln. Not bad, at least it was something new, but I am much more interested in Buechler's and Hodder's musings and stories then this actress'. So, if you still have the box set don't get rid of the Par 7 disc if you like commentaries. Finally, we get the most useless of useless special features, a mini doc showing two characters getting a make over called "You could use a little work, my a#@!" Yes, the two master female thespians that had their forever immortalized on film argument about how one of them wasn't hot enough for a specific guy are back together 20 years later to get a glamour make over, and we are there to witness all the details. You have to be a really, really, REALLY hardcore fan of this film to give a crap or get any entertainment out of this special feature.

Bottom line is, if you have the box set, this particular sequel isn't worth double dipping for. I've the franchise completist disease, especially when it comes to horror, so I had to pick it up. Plus, Jason's make up is really cool and worth having in perfect clarity for posterities sake. I doubt anyone will ever shell out the dough to refurbish and reincorporate the rough cut gore scenes back into this film. Paramount would never see the kind of returns they would want to spend the time and money on such a thing. Maybe if Buechler himself shells out the money this will happen. So, if you're only buying this to see Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood uncut, you will be sorely disappointed.....again. Me, I think this film mostly sucks so I don't really care that much.

5/5 The Last Great Friday!!
  by David Foughty
This seventh "Friday" is the beginning mark of a very stale series (they should have ended it w/ this one . Paramount got lucky w/ part VI). A young telekenetic, her mother & her therepist travel up to Crytsal Lake, the sight of a previous & traumatic incident that cost the life of the girl's father. Her powers are uncontrollable however, & during one of her fits accidently brings Jason up from his watery grave to kill again. Basically, its Carrie vs. Jason. Lar Park Lincoln plays Tina, the telekenetic & Kane Hodder masks up for the first time, in what would turn out to be the first of four "Friday" outings as Jason. The Deluxe Edition is quite nice with new scenes that have not been seen before included and the special features are quite cool.
