 Hello and welcome to another episode of Frightfully Forgotten Whore Movies, but before we get started, what are we drinking? Black Christmas. Oh nice. Left over from this past Christmas. Today we're going to bring to you a Part 7 for Season 7, 1988's Friday the 13th, The New Blood. This movie was directed by John Carl Buchler. He was mostly a special effects guy. He did the special effects on The Reanimator and From Beyond. He directed Troll, Cellar Dweller, and Goolies 3. So, he's a schlock master. He stars Terry Kisser, and he's probably most famously Bernie in Weekend at Bernie's. Jennifer Banco's in this, and you might know her as being the little girl. Texas Chance of Massacre Part 3. Yeah. Yackity yak. Don't talk back. William Butler is in this. He's also in Texas Chance of Massacre 3 and The Night of the Living Dead remake. Some of this damn shit done. Lara Park Lincoln is in this, and she is also in Freddy's Nightmares, the TV show, as well as House 2, The Second Story. Well, this movie starts off with Tina and her family, and Tina's just a young girl at this point. They're spending, I guess, the weekend or something at a cabin here inside. I'm like, you should stop drinking. Don't tell me what to do. So the kid runs out. You hit mommy again. He's all slapping her, I guess. And so she takes a boat to try and get away from her dad, and her dad's on the dock trying to coax her back. And she gets so upset. She's like, I wish you would die. And the dock starts rocking back and forth, and it collapses onto him killing him. It turns out that Tina has special powers, it seems. Years later, Tina's still struggling with essentially killing her dad in and out of mental institutions. Now she's being seen by Dr. Cruz. They're going back to that cabin. Dr. Cruz is trying to get her to do more telekinetic things, right? And he's got some sick match book and puts it on the table and, come on, Tina, move it. Move the matches. And she can't do it at first, but he keeps poking at her and gets her all mad. And it finally moves. It's all shitty, dude. A group of kids at another cabin next door gathering around for a birthday party. One of the guys at this cabin, Nick, sees Tina, instantly has a liking for her. And they kind of actually hit her off right away. Tina's feeling really remorseful for killing her dad. And she goes right back to the dock where it happened, and she's standing there wishing it never happened and wishing that her dad was back. She doesn't know that Jason Voorhees is down there from Jason Lives. He's chained down there with that rock. Instead of bringing her dad back from the dead with her powers, she brings back Jason Voorhees. Yeah, it's all epic, dude. Now that Jason's alive, of course, he goes on a killing spree. When Tina meets these kids, she actually sees how they're going to be killed by Jason. Dr. Cruz has actually been hiding all this evidence to make Tina believe that she is going nuts to hopefully push her off the deep edge and she'll do some sort of crazy telekinesis thing and he can catch it on camera and get rich off of her basically. Further his own ass. The mom finds this out and listens to a tape he made where he's kind of saying all this. They get in a big fight and they run off into the woods. Jason is killing off all the kids, including the mom and the damn doctor in the woods which leaves Tina and Nick left over to do battle with Jason. And that's where we're going to end the plot. If you want to see what happens, I'm sure you know what happens. Yeah. Keep watching the new blood, but first, is it trash or treasure? Well, that'll bring us to the treasure aspect of this movie. And one of the first things is Jason himself, right? It's pretty cool. His design, the Jason design, is pretty neat. He's done battle with Tommy Jarvis, been stuck under the water for how long. So he's pretty beat up and you can see like his bones all coming through the skin and it looks really good. That's one of the better things that they managed to do with the series is continue Jason's battle damage throughout all of the movies. And the continuity of the mask is actually pretty good. Dr. Cruz is a great character in this movie. He's probably one of the better characters in the whole series. He's kind of up there with Tommy Jarvis as being a really good character. He's not a likable character. He's an asshole. He's out for his own benefit and he kind of wants to screw over Tina and get famous off of her. But all that makes him a good, deep character. Yeah. Way, way more deep than any other of the characters in this movie. Throws the mom into Jason like sacrifice. They're like what an asshole. Like fuck. He's one of those you love to hate him type guys. Yeah. Another good thing about this movie is it's really atmospheric. It's a bit darker than Jason lives. Jason lives in kind of cartoony. Yeah. It's all bright. A lot of it takes place during the day. This is all at night and it's really dark and atmospheric and it's got more of a darker edge to it which makes it a bit more serious. Even though the premise is kind of silly with this girl with these psychic powers. Yeah. Visually it looks more serious than even Jason lives. And the music helps with that too right? They introduce a bit of a different score in this movie and it's a little eerie and creepy. It helps with the atmosphere. Good old Harry who did the scores for all the Friday 13th movies. He always kind of changes it up a little bit in each movie. It's kind of the same, the same kind of theme. Yeah. But it's always tweaked a little bit in each movie. And in this movie of course it's tweaked a little bit. And it sounds a bit more modern. You know, it's still got the orchestral stuff. But that intro sounds a bit more modern during the opening credits. And the showdown between Tina and Jason is actually pretty good. It's pretty epic really. Quite epic. They destroy everything in their path. Yeah. It's kind of like a Godzilla sort of movie almost destroying houses, power lines. She makes them float into that puddle. And there's electrocutes Jason. That whole stoop all falls on him and everything. Yeah, it's quite the battle. It says Jason takes his shit kicking in this. Yeah. And that'll bring us to the trash of this movie. The first piece of trash of this movie is the whole plot. The whole telekinesis thing is just so stupid. No, no it's not. Don't you remember when I made that case of beer float? Look. Look. I'm making it float. I'm making the box levitate. You're just fucking drunk. Oh. Oh. You're just fucking drunk. No. No. The premise. The story is just so damn stupid. I can never get behind this girl with blonde hair that can make things happen with her mind. Firestarter came out and it was kind of popular. Terry. Terry is like, okay, let's just do one of those and throw Jason in there. It's like they had a different script kicking around for another movie. And they're like, well, we also want to make a Friday the 13th. Let's just throw Jason in there. It'll be okay. Yeah. It'll sell. Yeah, it'll sell. But it's just so stupid. How are we going to get Jason back from the dead this time? Well, a girl with special powers brings him back accidentally. Yeah. That's a great idea. Yeah. It's like you can picture all the execs around the big guest. That's awesome. Yeah. That's great. Did a lot of coke in the 80s, flying high thinking, this is fucking great. The characters in this movie just plain suck. Like, they're so lame. You don't care about any of them besides maybe Dr. Cruz. And he's an asshole. Even the main girl, Tina, the way the movie is sort of structured, it's hard to even care about her. You don't give a shit about her. She sucks. The acting is kind of subpar. And her character besides the fact that she's got special powers, that's all you know about her. Yeah. You know, she's not developed as a character. You don't care about her. The fact that she has telekinesis and can sort of take care of herself, why do you need to worry about her? Yeah, it's basically Jason versus a Jedi. Yeah, essentially. Who's going to fucking win? I think the Jedi is going to win. Exactly, yeah, he can't fucking lay a finger on her. So who gives a damn? The dialogue in this movie, again, just like the characters are so poor, there's not one memorable line, really. No. The only line I remember from this movie is happy fucking birthday. Another piece of trash about this movie is, well, it's not scary, which is fine, I guess. You know, Friday the 13th movie, Stop Being Scary. Many movies ago. But it's also not funny either. So what is it? It's not entertaining, really. It should be one or the other, or maybe a bit of both. But it's neither. You can't even brag about the kills in this movie either. Because they all are pretty lame. They're pretty poor, really. They're pretty piss-poor kills. We can only mention the two good ones, really. And that's the sleeping bag death, or he picks that woman up and just whacks her against the tree. And the one where that stuck-up bitch gets killed too, where, you know, she opens the door to Jason, he takes that axe, puts it right into her head, and then just throws her into that tea. Over the tea. I also like the party horn death. It's pretty funny. Just the sound. Yeah. Just like every other Friday the 13th movie, the death scenes were bastardized and cut down to make the R rating instead of an X rating. And you can go into special features for the DVDs, the Blu-rays, and see the uncut kills. And even then, they're not great. And the tools that Jason uses in this movie, the weapons, make no sense as well. It's like, what the fuck is up with that buzz saw thing? He's just keeping these weird tools out of nowhere. Yeah, out of, like, literally out of thin air. Y'all hear it starting, like, way off screen? It's all struggling. Like, it's funny. And it's pretty good, like, the buzz saw and all that shit. But as far as it making any sense, it makes none. At least when Jason lives, he's got that tool belt. So you know, he's got no arsenal on him, right? But in this one, he's just like, like you said, out of thin air. And these tools, like, I was like, they're all huge. I'm like, do these even exist in real life? Invent them for the fucking movie. Like, I've never seen some weird buzz saw on a stick thing. Like, what the fuck is that? Where the hell did he get it from? Is he keeping some arsenal behind all these trees and everything? He's all planning. And Jason, man, in this movie, he doesn't do a very good job of setting up the dead bodies. Like, there's that one guy who keeps falling out of trees. He's not the same guy. It's like, you can't tie that guy up there better, man. Jason's all behind a tree watching and waiting. Like, whoo-hoo. This'll do it. Then he does, he falls and swings, and then the kids take off. And then he goes and does it again. Some prank. The setting in this movie kind of sucks, too. Like, even though it's your typical Friday the 13th setting, it doesn't feel like it's anywhere near Camp Crystal Lake. It doesn't really have that isolated feeling that you usually have in these camp settings. And the end for this movie really is kind of stupid, too. Like, the dad all comes out of the water and grabs Jason, and he's all fine. Like, he's been down there for at least, like, ten years or more. He's all perfect. Like, what the fuck? And how did he kill Jason? Like, he grabs him. And then what? Yeah, he just hold him forever. So when the dad died in the beginning, they never found him? Yeah, like, didn't even bother to look. It's not like this is a terribly difficult area where he died. It's by the dock, by the shore. Like, it's not even that deep. Send a man in to go get him. Like, what the fuck? They just leave him there. Leave him there. So Friday the 13th, the new blood, Trash or Treasure? It's Trash. I agree. It's Trash, too. It's definitely my least favorite in the whole series, I think. Yeah, and it's the least enjoyable. There's nothing to really... There's nothing redeeming about this movie at all. No, it's not scary. It's not campy or funny. It's just kind of there. So let us know what you guys think, Trash or Treasure. I'm sure some people do like this movie. I'm sure there's some love for it out there somewhere, but you're not going to find it here. No damn where. Yeah. And until next time, keep drinking.
