I loved the opening as well. I love everything about this movie.

Is it a good plot though? Lol. I'd have to disagree there. It's like a cheap knockoff of Carrie with worse acting and poorly fleshed out characters. The telekinesis angle is rightly criticized in my opinion, as it's not very well executed and made for a lazy confrontation with Jason. It doesn't really work and is just sorta...dumb.

I can understand people liking Part VII for what it is, it's certainly a hell of a lot better than the disaster that is Jason Takes Manhattan, but that doesn't exactly set a high bar and the plot is still pretty bad in both films.

Agree regarding Kane Hodder though. Jason's look in The New Blood was one of the best of the entire franchise. His makeup is just incredible.
