Celebrate this wonderful holiday with one of the overlooked Friday the 13th sequels. I have to hand it to the 13th franchise. Six movies behind them all consisting around the story idea of a murder at the same camp. Granted two of them had non Jason Voorhees killers, but seriously people need to stop going to that area.
This time around they don't change up the killer. They change up the hero. Tina Shepard goes to Camp Crystal Lake to relive her childhood trama only to discover she has telekinetic abilities. Then she unknowingly releases Jason from his chains at the bottom of the lake. It's up to her and her new found powers to put him back.
It's really brilliant. The villain is indestructible for no real reason. You might as well even the playing field a bit for our hero. It also features my favorite look for Jason from any of the other 13th films. (Jason X comes in a close second.)
New Blood marks a changing of idea in the series. While the rest of the films were mostly misses it certainly doesn't lose points for lack of trying.
