PLOT SUMMARY
Tina, an abused young
girl with psychic powers, 'wishes' her father to death;
while visiting Crystal Lake, the pier her old man is
standing on collapses and he drowns in the lake. As a
consequence of this, poor Tina grows up to be a troubled
teen under the care of a suspect shrink. Hoping to
exorcise her fears, Tina visits Crystal Lake and,
consumed by guilt, wishes her father alive again. But it
isn't her father who comes back from the dead and soon
enough Jason is on the prowl again.
CAPSULE REVIEW
Dear God... Buechler again proves that special effects men should never
be allowed to direct as all he manages to do here is make a pigs ear
of an already appalling script. Ripping off everything from Halloween
to Carrie and all points in between, this was as low
as the series had stooped so far - tragically, it was going to get even
worse... (Full
