Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988) ★★½

Looking back, this had the potential to be one of the better entries in the*series.

The Jason vs Carrie finale was great stuff. Kane shows his talent as a stunt man. If the MPAA had not butchered the kills, this film could have gotten a lot of delayed praise.*

Sure, together with Trent from the remake, Melissa and Bad News Cruz complete the top 3 douchebags in this franchise, but a more satisfactory kill would have made that worthwile. At least Maddy was likable, David had a bit of a Marty from cabin in the woods-vibe and, in my opinion, Robin is one of the prettiest girls in the*franchise.

Now you just end up with a half ruined film that could have been. And the übersilly ending with the resurrected father does not help either. Woulda coulda*shoulda.
