After Tommy Jarvis left Jason to rot chained at the bottom of the lake we thought we'd seen the last of Mr Voorhees, but no a psychic girl accidentally frees him and you know the rest.
That's right Jason Voorhees goes on another rampage indiscriminately killing more 20 somethings with very little story actually present.
This however marked the first time Kane Hodder took on the hockey mask and as ridiculous as it sounds you can really tell and new life is breathed into Jason.
Now rotted, chain around his neck and looking seven shades of undead Jason looks amazing and scarier than ever before. Sadly the death sequences in New Blood are more cutaway poorly constructed nonsense and considering this is the 7th movie in the franchise there really is no excuse.
New Bloods greatest weakness is the finale, the movie builds up to the final battle really well, draws it out into a lengthy encounter but then hits you with a moronic unexplained baffling twist just before the credits.
New Blood isn't bad and it marks a real turning point for Jason, but as a standalone film it's not the strongest part of the franchise.
The Good:
Jason looks amazing
Kane Hodder
The Bad:
Weak death scenes
Awful finale
