The premise

Tina Shepard, a telekinetic teenage girl, accidentally unchains Jason from his watery grave, allowing him to go on another killing spree in the area.

Horror Vault's take

A troubled teenage girl with powerful telekinetic abilities returns to Crystal Lake haunted by a devastating mistake from her past — and unwittingly sets something far worse loose on the surrounding woods. As a new group of unsuspecting young people nearby becomes easy prey, she may be the only one capable of standing against the unstoppable Jason Voorhees. Part VII pushes the franchise in a bolder supernatural direction, pitting raw psychic force against pure brutality. Kane Hodder makes his debut as Jason, delivering what many fans consider the most physically imposing portrayal of the iconic killer.
