The impression that was given was that it was the ghost of Tina's father that eventually came back to save her. Sure, a rotting zombie would make sense, but they would've removed the body long ago. I don't really favor any side, since they both have valid points. Though, I hope they didn't edit it just because a zombie would be scary.

Jason is "dead" at the barn's door, and that calmness is over the lake... with that haunting music by Manfredini, and then... we see one single "particle or something" falling into the lake, breaking its calmness in some way... this is a very intelligent way to end the movie (we all knew it'd be a fourth one)... it contrasts to Platinum Dunes' "making Jason jump out of the lake and give the audience one final scare" ending... it was not elegant nor intelligent... that's why classics are classics...

But it's just my opinion.

But he needed to be a bit more dead looking, he just looks like he hasnt been in there that long. And i'm curiouse about the fisherman bit too, sounded like they should off put that in!!!

If all the "Original" scenes had of been left intact with the original ending, this movie would of been a million times better. Yes the zombiefied version of daddy would of been a much better explanation and would have seemed more realistic considering the circumstances. Even though the father woulnd't be in the lake anymore unless for some unknown reason the law wasn't able to find his body in the lake, but i dought it, although it could be possible considering all the times Jason's body was in the lake and never recovered, but i don't know, in any case if you look past the ending, the movie is still entertaining and one of the better in the series. 8, 9, 10, JVF all sucked.

Would it be on youtube? Anyone have a link? Honestly, I believe i would have loved the ending so much more if Tina's father would have looked like a monster/zombie/dead/orginalmakeup. It would have made more sense with the story they were presenting. Tina brought Jason back at the beginning, so why couldn't she have brought her father back? If they had done this, they could have made a book (or comic book sequal) and used the angle that maybe there is something wrong with the lake... people that drown don't really die there, etc... Anyway, I wish the directors orginal ending was filmed. Maybe bummer... I never saw the scene of Jason jumping out and grabbing a fisherman. Would it be on youtube? Anyone have a link?

On paper, it works well, making that final scene in the ambulance feel like a proper coda to the series. Unfortunately, the scene has two problems. The first has been discussed widely here already: the father's body wouldn't still be in the lake, and if (somehow) he still was his body would be little more than skeletal remains. This first issue is really no different than the problems with Part III's dream sequence ending (Mrs. Voorhees in the lake? With her head attached?), but here the events are supposed to be taken literally. And that's distressing. The second issue is one of pacing. In the original Friday the 13th, Jason's jump from the lake happens after the film's climax has come and gone. It works specifically because Alice is no longer in danger, we feel. This is supported by manfredini's soft, post-traumatic score, the deliberately paced camerawork, Alice's slow movements in the canoe. In The New Blood, the action is still in full swing- the house has exploded, Jason's just taken a bullet and attacked Tina's boyfriend, he turns towards our Final Girl and-- See, the issue is that the thematic logic of Tina's Dad re-enacting Jason's emergence from the lake from the first film needs to be carefully separated from the main action, otherwise it appears simply nonsensical. The same can be said of Jason Takes Manhattan's ending, which again introduces a fantasy idea (Jason purged of his evil, reverts to "innocent" form) without any preparation. With the second point in mind, it's hard to imagine either filmed version of Dad's appearance at the end to be much good. That said, The New Blood is a fun, worthwhile middle entry in the series, nowhere near as genuinely affecting a film as the original, The Final Chapter, or Jason Lives, but head and shoulders above A New Beginning or Takes Manhattan.
