Review of Freddy vs. Jason (2003) by Stephen B — 26 Apr 2011

I like this film, but it's for all the wrong reasons that I would like a horror film. It lacks the scary essence of the first couple of Nightmare on Elm Street films and a few of the Friday the 13th films which is what we really want when we watch a horror film.

But this film is funny, despite the fact it is not scary. For that reason, this film loses some of it's credibility. Instead of cowering in fear, I kept chuckling and that really disappointed me when I thought about it.

Then there are the actresses. For almost every female actress in this film, I kept thinking; "she's definitely had a boob job" rather than what they could do to help themselves in the particular situation.

This film is only be held higher in esteem from me than atrocities like A Nightmare on Elm Street 5 because it is funny. Overall, a pretty bad film.
