Ever since that tantalising tease of Freddy dragging Jason down to hell at the end of the ninth Friday the 13th, avid fans of both series' have been waiting expectantly for the monster mash-up to end all monster mash-ups. New Line Cinema took their time, the first draft of the script was written back in 1993, and every draft since has included a variety of different ideas including Jason being put on trail for his crimes, telekinetic heroines and Freddy and Jason duking it out in hell with Hellraiser's Pinhead gettilng involved too. The idea they settled on is a more basic one. Freddy Krueger has been forgotten around Elm Street and so, in order to get the fear spreading again, he resurrects Jason Voorhees to start slicing and dicing the citizens of Elm Street. However, Jason gets carried away and becomes the more feared of the two. So Freddy has to take matters into his own razor-fingered hands and do battle with Jason. It re-establishes the mythology of both series', picking up where Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare and Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday left off (parts 6 and 9 respectively), ignoring Wes Craven's New Nightmare and Jason X entirely (ironic since they were the two best sequels). Fan's of either franchise will find much to enjoy within Freddy Vs Jason. There are plenty of in-jokes and references to the previous films (the return of the Freddy worm!), and this films has everything you loved about them; Stupid, annoying American teens (including Destinys Child singer Kelly Rowland) getting severed and impaled by Jason and Freddy, while capturing the tone and feel of both respective franchises. Jason does his thing and Freddy does his (mainly bad puns). I personally got more of a thrill out of seeing the two horror icons teaming up as opposed to battling each other, but that was cool too. Is this film any good? No probably not, but I'm blinded by my geekish love of both of these franchises and so I lapped up everything Freddy Vs Jason had to offer. One for the fans only I think.
