Two horror icons face off in this supernatural movie. Disfigured serial killer Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund), who attacks his victims in their dreams, has lost much of his power since citizens of his town have become less afraid of him. Enlisting the help of fellow violent murderer Jason Voorhees (Ken Kirzinger), Freddy orchestrates a new killing spree. However, when the hockey-mask-wearing psychopath won't stop chopping up Freddy's intended victims, the two ghouls start to battle each other.

Critics Consensus

A gleefully brainless, blood-soaked clash of horror icons, Freddy vs. Jason ends up being more of a letdown than a showdown, with its fleeting guilty pleasures buried beneath bad dialogue and excessive gore.

Only a studio hack in the darkest toils of madness or desperation could have put this contest together.

3/5

The picture acts almost as a parody of both franchises' more memorable moments while still remaining gravely faithful to the spirit of each.

While we wait for the excitement, which never comes, we get to sit through a compendium of horror film tableaux.

As both are unstoppable, there is a little problem for the writers at what you might call the heart of the splatter.

The mingling of the two franchises becomes an exercise in more, more gore.

Forgettable characters, bad acting but alot of blood and gore with some good kills mixed with an all out fight between the two most iconic slashers of the 80s! Now if that doesn't peak your interest I dont know what will. Freddy vs Jason is a bloody good time!

I still think about this movie often. I understand how some people think it's a mockery of the genre but I feel like we can live a little. I laughed, I jumped, I had me a great time.
