562 Friday the 13th Part VII : The New Blood

 The  rather  desperate  title gives  away its  makers' insecurity  but  there  is  one  new  twist  here. The  final  girl  has  telekinetic  powers  with  which  to  defend  herself  making the  climactic  scene  a  bit  less predictable. The  bulk  of  the  film  though  follows  the  formula, an  unlikely  resurrection of  Jason  who slices  and  dices  his  way  through  a  group  of  interchangeable  horny  teens  before  a  showdown  with  his  nemesis.
