Freddy (Robert Englund), powerless due to being forgotten, sends Jason back from hell, hoping his killings will be attributed to Freddy. But Jason won’t stop killing, which sets up a battle between the two as local teens try to stop them both.

Quick Review: Freddy deserved better than this, and Jason…well, for Jason it is pretty good. This is supposed to be a no-holds-barred, drag-out, fight to the death between two 80s horror icons. Of course it isn’t. The big climatic battle comes to nothing (yup, they set themselves up for another film). And all actions by the teens affect nothing. So, all you’ve got are some irritating teens dying, and not nearly as many as I expected. I could have done with a whole lot of the fascist adults getting chopped up and a few innovative, shocking, dream sequences, but it was not to be. The blood is plentiful, though not realistic, and a few girls lose their shirts, but without any sensuality. There are worse Slashers, so if all you want is a guy with a blade, you’ll be happy with Freddy Vs. Jason. Me? I was bored.
