Storyline

It's been nearly ten years since Freddy Krueger terrorized people in the dreams, and the towns folk want to keep him erased from their memory. Freddy still has one more plan on getting back to Elm Street. He resurrects Jason Voorhees and sends him off to kill. The more bodies which fall to the ground, the stronger in which Freddy becomes. This is until, Freddy realizes that Jason isn't going to step aside easily, and must be taken down himself.

Trivia

A sequel was planned, but never materialized. Wildstorm published a six issue comic series in late 2007 and early 2008. This added The Evil Dead (1981)'s Ash Williams to the mix.

Goofs

(at around 57 mins) When they are searching for Hypnocil on the Internet, we see a picture of the Hypnocil bottle reading "Hypnocil, 500mg, 1000 tab". We also see Hypnocil pills lying beside the bottle. Considering the size of the pills, the bottle could never contain 1000 pills. Not even close to 100 pills.

Quotes

[first lines]
Freddy Krueger: [narrating] My children... from the very beginning, it was the children who gave me my power. The Springwood Slasher, that's what they called me. My reign of terror was legendary. Dozens of children would fall by my blades. Then the parents of Springwood came for me, taking justice into their own hands. When I was alive, I might have been a little naughty, but after they killed me, I became something much, much worse. The stuff nightmares are made of. The children still feared me, ...

Crazy Credits

As the end credits start, the camera pans over a cracked surface with the cast and crew's names on it. As each name comes into view, blood drips and splatters over it. This little sequence ends with the screen being slashed open and the Freddy vs. Jason logo flying out.

Alternate Versions

HORROR HEROES

The film Freddy vs Jason is your typical slash fest with guts and blood dropping every where. Does this movie that I heard about a decade ago kinda lives up to its promise in a very weird and wonderfull way. Jason actually seems more scary than Freddy and at a point you think Jason will turn to the light when the to horror heroes battle it out. But nah hes too much of a goody two shoes to do that. The concept of the story hasnt changed much, but really doesnt tell you in detail enough on how most things happen maybe thats a spawn for several sequels to follow. The teenagers in the movie I would say have acted all very well and it doesnt go in all that typical teenager way they are quiet sensible. I think if the film had more of a plot to it would be one of the biggest movies of the year though competition was tough out their. I cant wait for part 2 though. 6.5 out of 10
