5. Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood
This movie is a total guilty pleasure because it’s maybe the most stupid in the entire series, possibly even dumber than Jason X, but oh so endlessly watchable. Trying to spice things up in the sixth sequel, this movie pits Jason up against a teenager with telekinesis for some reason. It’s essentially Jason vs. Carrie. I get that after so many movies of the same thing they wanted to spice things up, but seriously, who came up with that idea? It’s a pretty dumb premise, but it leads to a highly entertaining movie, and with an actually good lead protagonist in Tina. The concept breathes some life into the series, albeit really stupid life, while still giving us all the Jason goodness we know and love. Plus, the movie has by far the best death in the entire series, which was so good it would actually be repeated in Jason X.
The movie also has a pretty great final set piece. Where as usually the end of the movie is Jason going after his last kill who desperately tries to flee him, this time he actually is almost evenly matched and it’s more of a battle. In that way it’s pretty different than the typical Friday the 13th movie, but really entertaining in its own right.
