Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood : Worst Friday the 13th ever!

Worst Friday the 13th ever!

How it could be so *beep* bad?? Even the earlier part, the 6th was better. This movie sucks in so many levels. Ideas copied from many older horror movies like Carrie like character and so cliche evil step father and mother who don't believe her daughter. And quite bad acting in start. Also screenplay, cinematography and editing are complete garbage. I know this is sequel of b slasher but still its so bad. Fourh and 5th shows that even b slasher movie's sequel can be quite good. But this, its horrible...

What's horrible is your grasp of the English language.






'Then' and 'than' are different words - stop confusing them.

Re: Worst Friday the 13th ever!

My least favorite is either JASON X or the reboot. This one is actually one of my favorites.

That means you have good taste ;)

Re: Worst Friday the 13th ever!

I like this one. I did not like Part 8 at all. That was boring

Re: Worst Friday the 13th ever!

After the awesome part 6 and after reading the summary for part 7 I was really excited thinking this would be some sort of Carrie vs. Jason movie, but it has got to be the most boring film in the series. Boring deaths, boring characters, absolutely messed up time-line and a tired setting. Only the last 15 minutes are worth watching, but even that was ruined by the dumb ending. Here's hopping part 8 will be different in a good way.

If you hated this one than you'll loathe part 8 lmao.

Re: Worst Friday the 13th ever!

no, jason X is the WORST.

Re: Worst Friday the 13th ever!

Telekinesis is used in many films, shows, and stories. It was nothing like Carrie whatsoever other than she has psycho-kinesis/telekinesis. Tina also had visions and was also kind of psychic too, unlike Carrie White. Also there was no step-father in the movie at all. There were her dead dad and the doctor who wasn't even dating her mom. She was under mental duress and the visions mad lots of people not believe her at first. Tina was more like Jean Grey than she was Carrie White. The acting and screenplay were about the same as all the 80's Jason movies, and honestly a little better.

This is actually regarded as one of the favorite sequels. The editing might be a tad choppy at parts because it had to be edited down due to the original rating of X, by the MPAA. The kills were very inventive, I saw the edits on YouTube. The cinematography was better in this than many of the other ones.

Other than your terrible use of the English language, do you have any specific examples of your film critique?

Re: Worst Friday the 13th ever!

I agree ChosenOne83, this movie had a lot of things that ultimately weighed it down which wasn't the fault of the filmmakers at all. The MPAA was the biggest thorn in the side and Buechler was constantly undermined by the Associate Producer (Barbara Sachs) that it's almost impossible that this movie even exists.

There seemed to be a lot of drama on and off set. The majority of the male actors were screwing each other, the two leads didn't get along and the actors who played Ben and Kate encountered racism for being black when they were in town (this movie was shot in the deep south). I give Buechler and company major props for churning out the best movie that they could.

I regard it as one of the best in the series, even though the deaths are heavily trimmed they still are pretty inventive I mean the sleeping bag death alone is probably the most talked about death scene in the series. And you get to see Jason kill people with just his bare hands for once: the sleeping bag kill, the underwater kill, the head crush, hell even the girl who goes out the window (although that was done in part 4 too, still counts). There's enough nudity to make any school boy blush and we get the baddest looking Jason bar none in the series. I think this stands head and shoulders above the majority of the sequels.

Re: Worst Friday the 13th ever!

I hated this movie too. Everything after Part 6 was crap. Part 6 was actually pretty well made. This one had a boring story, boring characters, and I couldn't stand the actress who played Tina (Lar Park Lincoln?). Hated this movie.

Re: Worst Friday the 13th ever!

Couldn't make it through. Sat through the first 30 minutes and it was boring. Couldn't wait to shut it off. Unless someone makes me watch it, I'm not watching it.

Re: Worst Friday the 13th ever!

After the first four films I would say this is definately one of the better films. 5 and 6 were just weak. 5 was the absolute worst after the final chapter, 6 was silly, almost a comedy with all the lines the kids had. 8 had potential until the dumb ending and everything after 8 sucked. Freddy vs Jason was decent but should have used Kane on that.

Re: Worst Friday the 13th ever!

5, 8, 10 and 11 were all worse.

Re: Worst Friday the 13th ever!

I have been rewatching the series recently, and I actually quite enjoyed this one. Kudos to them for trying something different with the telekinetic angle.

Part 5 also tried something different, with the killer not being Jason and all (of course, we didn't know it wasn't him through most of the movie), but I thought 5 was a little weak. 6 had its moments, but was pretty much more of the same (with tamer gore and nudity than the previous films).

I enjoyed Part 8, surprisingly.

Part 9 is weak sauce, but did have a lot of gore.

Re: Worst Friday the 13th ever!

nope! Jason goes to hell is the worst!

Re: Worst Friday the 13th ever!

JGTH, Part 5, Jason X were FAR worse than this one, even 3 was worse.

Re: Worst Friday the 13th ever!

Of all the times I've seen it, I've never thought of it as bad as you describe it. Sure, a lot of ideas are copied or simply cliches, but to say that Part V is better than this one is almost criminal.

There is absolutely nothing to like in that piece of crap. Except for Harry Manfredini's score, of course.

Rhaegar fought valiantly, Rhaegar fought nobly, Rhaegar fought honorably. And Rhaegar died.

Re: Worst Friday the 13th ever!

Apparently you haven't seen The Final Friday or Jason X...This entry blows those two out of the water!!!



The feeling we have here — remember it, take it home and do some good with it. Please be kind

Re: Worst Friday the 13th ever!

No this wasn't the worst(Jason X and New Beginning) or the best(Jason Lives) but its solid.

Re: Worst Friday the 13th ever!

Anything would be a breath of fresh air after 6. I appreciate that John Buechler at least tried to make a scary film. He didn't succeed, but he tried. I don't even know what Tom McLoughlin thought he was doing, but he should have been fired for doing it.

The lousy underscore was the worst offender, although I do like all the FM and Stan Meissner songs that were used. A better DP might have helped too. Probably the most poorly-lensed Friday in the entire series, and that includes the one that was shot by a porno DP. Heck, even "Terror Night" (which I am rewatching right now, and which Staci Greason and William Butler did 3 months before this and which somehow managed to not even be deemed worthy of a straight-to-video release) had better cinematography. Not surprised Daryl Haney was horrified when he saw it, for all the wrong reasons.

Re: Worst Friday the 13th ever!

For myself that is hardly the case and that honor goes to Friday the 13th:A New Beginning at least this film had a few enjoyable things but it's still at the bottom of the barrel of this franchise for me.

Let's list the things Friday the 13th Part VII:The New Blood does right.
1)That girl hiding from Jason in the shack was full of tension.
2)The House Explosion at end was kind of cool.
3)I like how Tina made Jason into a fool.

I certainly think this film is awful I don't like how it takes a already overrated entry in the franchise The Final Chapter and adds a Carrie twist to it that was lame.
This film just like the Final Chapter was a major step down from the previous entry's film.
Look at Friday the 13th Part III it's scary but it does have some lighthearted moments to it and is generally fun the same thing can be said about Jason Lives:Friday the 13th Part VI.

Re: Worst Friday the 13th ever!

Jason Takes Vancouver ... err, I mean Manhattan gets my vote as the all-time worst and weakest sequel in the entire series.

I've been chasing grace/ But grace ain't easy to find

Re: Worst Friday the 13th ever!

Jason takes Manhattan and Jason X were both way worse

Re: Worst Friday the 13th ever!

It is bad because they tamed it too close to a PG-13 version of the movie series. All of them have lots of gore and boob fest but this one is lacking both. Well, some nudity but really brief. Not even hardly any language to this one. It is the tamest one out of the whole series.

I am a gore watching freak!!!

If it don't have it, it isn't worth the watch.

Re: Worst Friday the 13th ever!

I agree about it being the worst, with A NEW BEGINNING and JASON X being very close.

Re: Worst Friday the 13th ever!

"Ever?" Have you seen Jason X?

There was no stepfather. Tina's father drank too much and hit his wife, but "evil" is a pretty strong word. He did rescue her in the end.

Re: Worst Friday the 13th ever!

Not the worst, IMO. But it's still not good by any means. I do enjoy certain parts of the film though.

Call me Snake.

Re: Worst Friday the 13th ever!

I loved this one. My favorite of the series, and the best looking Jason; loved the dark, ominous atmosphere, the chilling prologue which sets the tone for the film, and Tina's final battle with Jason.







The Saw Is Family

Re: Worst Friday the 13th ever!

This is one of my favorites despite its problems. It's the last one that actually felt like a F13 film, what with the woods, by the numbers deaths, copy and paste characters; basically, it's awesome!
