Two horror icons face off in this supernatural movie. Disfigured serial killer Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund), who attacks his victims in their dreams, has lost much of his power since citizens of his town have become less afraid of him. Enlisting the help of fellow violent murderer Jason Voorhees (Ken Kirzinger), Freddy orchestrates a new killing spree. However, when the hockey-mask-wearing psychopath won't stop chopping up Freddy's intended victims, the two ghouls start to battle each other.

Critics Consensus

Fans of the two horror franchises will enjoy this showdown. But for everyone else, it's the same old slice and dice.

Nell Minow

Common Sense Media

Scary, gory, nightmare-inducing slasher.

Rated: 2/5

Brian Thomas

Chicago Reader

Director Ronny Yu loses energy when it shifts to the dumb teen protagonists, and the script faithfully wallows in cliches so ridiculous they border on Scary Movie territory.

Time Out

It's pretty obvious where director Ronnie Yu's sympathies lie. Still, he can't find a satisfactory resolution to that old teaser about an implacable force vs the immovable object: how to kill off your cash cow and milk her too.

Black Girl Nerds

Freddy vs. Jason is an early-aughts slasher with laughable dialogue, creative kills, and tons of blood dripping, spraying, and gushing everywhere. It’s the gory good time that fans wanted and remains an entertaining end to two long-running franchises.

Rated: 3/5

Keith & the Movies

It leans too heavily on the worst elements of 80s slashers. But it’ll be filling enough for those it’s catering to.

Rated: 2/5

We're not supposed to tell you who the ultimate winner is in the battle between "Freddy vs. Jason." Suffice it to say that you don't have to be clairvoyant to know this franchise isn't going to die, even if one of the characters supposedly does.

Rated: 1.5/4
