----Haunted Six----



Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (Film)


Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood is the seventh installment in the original Friday the 13th series. It also marked the first appearance of Kane Hodder in the role of Jason Voorhees.

Plot

Seven year old Tina Shepard heard 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.

About nine years later, Tina is still struggling with the guilt surrounding the death of her father. Tina's mother, Amanda Shepard (Susan Blu), takes her to the same lakeside residence so that her powers can be studied (and unknowingly exploited) by her psychiatrist, Dr. Crews (Terry Kiser). Dr. Crews begins a series of experiments (verbal assaults) designed to agitate Tina's mental state, forcing her powers to become more pronounced.

After a particularly upsetting session with Dr. Crews, Tina runs from the cabin and runs to the dock thinking about her father's death. While thinking about him, she accidentally breaks the chain around the neck of Jason Voorhees (Kane Hodder), the undead Crystal Lake serial killer. Tina's torment from her powers is increased as Jason's reign of terror descends on the area once again. Mrs. Shepard, Dr. Crews, and a group of youths vacationing in a nearby cabin are all killed violently by Jason.

Tina is left with no choice but to utilize her telekinesis in an effort to stop him. She unleashes her powers in various ways such as forcing Jason's mask to tighten until it breaks in two, revealing his decaying and deformed face. As the battle rages on the Shepard lakeside cabin is destroyed by an explosive fire. Although she is unable to kill Jason, she unknowingly resurrects her father, who emerges from the lake and drags Jason back down into the depths with him, leaving his fate ambiguous.
