Friday the 13th Part VII - The New Blood

Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988) is a supernatural slasher you can watch online on iFILM. John Carl Buehler directed this seventh chapter, and it finally gives Jason Voorhees an opponent who can fight back on his own terms.

Tina Shepard (Lar Park Lincoln) is a teenager with telekinesis and a guilt she can't shake. Years ago her powers caused a death at Crystal Lake. Returning to the lakeside house, she accidentally drags Jason back up from the water where he was chained. The killing starts again. As a houseful of partying kids drops one by one, Tina's mind becomes the only thing standing between them and the machete.

Fans single this entry out for one reason: it's the film where stuntman Kane Hodder first put on the mask, shaping the hulking, animal walk that defined Jason for the rest of the series. The closing duel, a girl flinging furniture and fire at an unkillable corpse, plays like a horror comic come to life. Stream Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988) online on iFILM.
