Friday The 13th Part VII: The New Blood
Ever since homicidal maniac Jason Vorhees got trapped in chains at the bottom of Crystal lake, the nearby summer camp has operated without a hitch...without a murder. But one of this season's happy campers has brought along a deadly secret. Tina Shepard can see the future and levitate objects. Her doctor knows just how dangerous telekinesis can be, but he's out to exploit her, not help her. And now it's too late. Tina has accidentally unchained Jason from his watery grave - and the bloodbath is underway. Tina's special powers are her only hope for survival. But what chance does a teenage girl have against an ax-wielding maniac?

    Agreed with some of the comments that why in the world the need to release such material...however think of the finances behind such production...paramount owns the rights to this franchise (1-8)...the 2009 version surpassed financial expectations...all of these extra's that they have..have already been placed together just haven't been released to the public...it costs cent's to dollars for them to make a blu ray version with extra's...so they use the profit from the 2009 version mass produce these Blu-rays and at 30 dollars a piece...sell a couple hundred of them and then they have profit off the blu-ray...and fans are please...it is that simple....I mean look at Star Trek how many times have they released those movies and tv series and now a blue ray line is coming out...this is such a minimal cost to them but it pleases the fans and turns profit...its all about the mighty dollar!

    Part 8 should have been called Jason takes a Cruise rather than Manhattan, because the movie hardly stays there. I guess because of their low budget they couldn't. I loved part 7. Jason Going up against a telekinetic girl.

    7&8, they're really pushing it, even after 2&3.
