John Carl Buechler, the seventh in the long-running, grisly
horror series was far from the last, although the climactic fate of its antagonist would seem to suggest a final send-off.
Lar Park Lincoln stars as
Tina Shepard, a teenager with uncontrolled telekinetic powers. As a girl vacationing at Camp Crystal Lake,
Tina killed her abusive father with the use of her mental abilities. Years later, seeking intensive counseling from manipulative, greedy psychologist
Dr. Crews (
Terry Kiser),
Tina agrees to participate in a radical therapy that takes her back to Camp Crystal Lake. Unfortunately,
Tina's psychic skills rouse the slumbering
Jason Voorhees (
Kane Hodder) from his watery grave and, in typically bloody fashion, the vengeful spook begins dispatching the randy teenagers partying in a house nearby. As
Tina attempts to stop
Jason's slaughter with the use of her powers, the mass-murdering ghoul encounters his toughest opponent yet.
Friday the 13th, Part VII: The New Blood was often referred to by series fans as "Jason vs. Carrie," an apropos reference to
Tina's strong similarity to the main character in the
horror classic
Carrie (1976).
