"Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood" isn't a particularly bad "Friday the 13th" outing, it's just incredibly boring due to its slow pacing and thin characters.
Though there are some cool moments, like the black-and-white sequence, the film never really offers something new to the franchise, or anything that's all that memorable, especially compared to the previous two outings. Suffering from an inconsistent tone and weakening of the characters established in the last film, "The Dream Child" attempts to go darker, but still doesn't result in a scary or outright inventive "Nightmare" film. The fifth "Nightmare" film, unfortunately, does neither. If there's one thing a long-running horror franchise needs, it's sequels that build on the established world, or at least take it to new terrifying levels. With "A Nightmare On Elm Street 5: The Dream Child," director Stephen Hopkins attempted to go back to the franchise's darker roots - a step back from the direction of the previous film, "The Dream Master" - one that unfortunately brought the momentum of the franchise, which was still of great quality and doing increasingly better at the box office, to a screeching halt.

Instead of serving as a cool continuation to Tommy's story, it really undermines the last film, depicting the character as a skittish, mostly mute shell of himself that isn't a whole lot of fun to watch. The film does, however, follow an adult Tommy Jarvis - who we were introduced to in the last film - now grown up and completely insane as a result of his earlier experience with Jason. Rather, "A New Beginning" leads us onto the idea that Jason's been revived, only to reveal that the killer is actually a copycat. But you'd think Hollywood could've mustered up some plot to bring back the iconic killer.

Part of that could be because the fourth film was supposed to be the last in the series - as it killed Jason Voorhees - and closed the door on the main plot.
"Friday the 13th: A New Beginning" (the fifth film in the franchise) is a bad new beginning.
