->''If Jason still haunts you, you're not alone!''

'''''A New Beginning''''' is the fifth film in the ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' series.

Several years have passed after Tommy Jarvis's traumatic encounter with Jason in ''The Final Chapter'', and he has been spending that time by going through a many mental institutes, with no sign of getting better. Now he has been moved to Pinehurst Cottage, a halfway house near Crystal Lake for troubled teenagers. Things don't start well when one of the residents is murdered by another, and soon afterwards a killer starts offing people in the surrounding area. Has Jason Voorhees returned once again?
