Review of Freddy vs. Jason (2003) by Jack A — 31 Oct 2013

This is mostly for fans of the FRIDAY THE 13TH and NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET franchises, and in that respect it does a serviceable job. It's not really scary, and there was only a couple of moments that made me cringe because of how gross they were (both thanks to Jason).

It's filled with the requisite unlikeable, horny teenage characters and the adults who don't listen to them. That's what people have come to expect from these movies anyway: creative kills, and the movie does deliver there.

What it doesn't really live up to is the promise of the title. I would have liked for more interaction between the two titular characters. Instead, we have to wait until the final act to see them duke it out.

I guess the movie is a little bit of a disappointment, but it's entertaining enough to warrant seeing at least once.
