Biography[]

At age twelve, Rennie nearly drowned at Crystal Lake when her uncle Charles McCulloch tried to teach her how to swim, rendering her aqua-phobic in the process. At some point before the senior trip, she was put under her uncle's custody.

Rennie, along with her love interest / friend Sean Robertson, were the sole survivors of their graduating class of Lakeview High, managing to evade Jason Voorhees on his rampage through Manhattan.

After the murders on the S.S. Lazarus, she, along with Sean, Toby, Julius Gaw, Colleen Van Deusen, and Charles escape in the lifeboat before the ship sinks. After some time they manage to reach Manhattan, but soon after they set foot on land, they are attacked by a couple of Gang bangers who decide to kidnap Rennie.

The gang bangers then decide to pump Rennie up with drugs, but soon after she is given the drug, Jason shows up to kill them. Despite being drugged, with Sean's help, she is able to escape after Homes is killed. Meeting up with Sean, they soon head off to find the others, including the cop that Charles found to help them search for Toby and Julius. After the group climb into the cop car, they discover Julius' severed head. Jason then ambushes them and killed the cop. Rennie then climbed into the driver's seat and tries to drive away. She runs over Jason and then due to the drugs in her system hallucinate seeing a younger version of Jason. She then decides to run him over but instead crashes the car into a brick wall. Rennie, Sean, and Charles get out of the car but Colleen doesn't as she died from the car exploding.

As the group looked at the car, Rennie starts to remember when she was younger and Charles pushed her into Crystal Lake. After she confronted him, she runs away with Sean following after her. That was when Jason approached Charles, causing him to run away. After Jason killed Charles, he caught up to Rennie and Sean as they shared a kiss. Rennie and Sean run away, being chased through the subway (where they electrocute Jason on the train tracks), Times Square, and a diner before they climbed into the sewer. As they ran through the sewer with Jason following them, they meet a Sanitation worker who they ask to show them a way out. He informs them that every night at midnight the sewer floods with toxic waste. Jason then shows up and kills the worker while also knocking Sean out in the process. As Jason moved to go in to kill Sean, Rennie distracted him by shining her flashlight in his face, while also stating ā€œYou didn't get me in the lake, and you're not going to get me now!ā€.

Rennie then ran away, causing Jason to chase after her. Coming across a small barrel of toxic waste, she decides to throw it onto Jason's face, causing him to remove the mask and reveal his melting face. Rennie runs away and quickly reunites with Sean, waking him up. While the duo are being chased by Jason, they come across a ladder and begin to climb. Jason reaches them, trying to pull Rennie down but is unsuccessful as the sewer completely flood with toxic waste. While Jason is knocked off them, Rennie and Sean escape the toxins and watches as Jason is washed away by the toxic waste. Rennie then hallucinates Jason reverting back into a child. After climbing out of the sewer, she and Sean share a hug before noticing that Toby managed to find them.
