First Kill - 19 minutes
Jason finally meets his match. Not only does the protagonist have pyschic-kinetic powers, but how is he supposed to know she has a secret weapon in the damn lake?
This movie starts out by recapping part VI, kind of like a 90210 episode. Then we are introduced to a little girl named Tina, whose family lives on Camp Crystal Lake, apparantly. Well, her dad beats her mom, so she decides to take a boat ride in the lake. Her dad runs out onto a pier, and she uses her special powers to make the pier collapse and kill him.
Fast-forward to present day. Tina, now 18 or so, has been in a mental hospital. Her doctor decides the best way to treat her is to take her back to her childhood home, where she killed her father. Conveniently located next door is a cabin full of co-eds having a weekend-long surprise party.
Tina goes out to the lake, and thinks, "Hey, I killed my dad, I can bring him back." So she uses her powers, but dammit! She brings back the wrong person! Jason, who was chained to the bottom of the lake by Tommy and Megan at the end of part VI, wakes up, thanks to Tina. He breaks his chains and is now free to kill once again!
This is one of the better volumes in this classic series. For one thing, it doesn't have a stupid soundtrack with Alice Cooper songs. We finally have a girl who is willing to fight Jason, rather than crawl away and be killed. It contains some of the best kills ever. My two favorites are when he slams the sleeping bag against the tree and when he shoves the party horn in the girl's eye! I hate those stupid horns anyway. And most importantly, Tina finally makes Jason take off the stupid hockey mask! He hasn't aged too well, folks.
I won't spoil the end and tell you about Tina's secret weapon because you should watch this one for yourself. Jason proves that he can still kill with the best of them and that he can still be creative after 6 movies.
