![]() Of course, it still has the great Robert Englund acting up a villainy storm. Jason Ritter's character and the father is too complicated. It's yet another bunch of twenty somethings playing high school teens getting slaughter. I'm not sure what I was expecting from this killer mash-up. The teens joined by Charlie (Chris Marquette) and deputy Scott Stubbs (Lochlyn Munro) are individually slaughtered by both Freddy and Jason. He tells Lori that his father was the one who killed her mother and put him in the hospital. Meanwhile Lori's ex-boyfriend Will (Jason Ritter) escapes from the mental hospital. She and her friends Kia (Kelly Rowland), Gibb (Katharine Isabelle), Trey, and Blake are attacked by Jason. ![]() Lori Campbell (Monica Keena) lives there with her widowed father. He revives Jason Voorhees to go attack 1428 Elm Street. Reviewed by SnoopyStyle 5 / 10 clash of horror iconsįreddy Krueger is powerless without his children. The final showdown between the two movie monsters is well worth the wait, with extreme, cartoonish violence being the order of the day. As for the scare factor, well Freddy is quite OTT this time, not particularly frightening (but was he ever, except in the very first film?) whilst Jason, as the immobile stalker, actually succeeds in terms of sheer menace – I loved the scenes of him stalking in the cornfield. Other deaths, like the fold-up bed scene, are particularly ingenious and raise schlocky gore to new, obscene levels. The death sequences are frequent and extremely gruesome, with bodies cut in two, decapitations and impalings galore. Robert Englund returns, having a ball as a particularly vicious Freddy, although sadly Kane Hodder has been replaced by another hulking menace behind the hockey mask. The teenage crowd that provides the focus of the film are the usual unknown bunch of intellectual bimbos, brainless jocks and topless starlets. The helmer is BRIDE OF CHUCKY's Ronny Yu, and he makes a damned good attempt at things. The plot is fairly full, too, with plenty of killing going on, with unpredictable victims for a change. ![]() Although not exactly adding any new ground to the mythos generated by twenty-odd movies, this one goes back to the basics and has plenty of inventive dream sequences to recommend it. The result? A jokey, reference-filled epic that will entertain fans of both sets of films. Now there's a novel idea: pit two iconic horror movie villains against each other in a modern, up-to-date slasher movie (refreshingly free of the annoying self-awareness that ruined the films that followed Scream) and throw in tons of gore and violence to appease jaded audiences.
