Nice Theory Falls Flat in Practice

Warning: Spoilers
Putting Jason up against a slightly less screwed up, blonde version of Carrie probably sounded like an amazing idea when they pitched this movie. Sadly it doesn't come off as well as hoped.

Part VI was the film where the producers gave in and made a fun little gorefest, in this film they go back the other way, with not a lot of laughs. The characters in this are slightly more engaging characters than we're used to, well the mains anyway. I actually found myself caring, if only slightly, about both Tina (The Carrie character) and Nick (the love interest).

The story here is that Tina is telekinetic and became so angry at her alcoholic father years earlier that she caused a boardwalk at Crystal Lake to collapse and killed him. She returns there years later with a sleazy, self serving therapist and her mother, and her power causes Jason to awaken from the dead again.

They have a final showdown where Tina is able to raise her father, looking pretty chipper for a guy who's been dead for a decade, from the dead and he saves the day.

This isn't a bad film, seems to be more sex scenes in this one than most of the others. But there are some grating scenes, like the ones where Tina uses her telekinesis. But hey, maybe those scenes will work for someone else, I found them a bit corny.

Not bad, there is nudity though.
