Review – Freddy vs. Jason

I think they’re on to something here. Next they should pit Michael Myers against Leatherface. Then the winner can play Jason for the all-time championship. They could even have a Seniors Tour and get Dracula to battle Jack the Ripper. Novelty aside, this is more than a little sub-par even by the relatively lax standards set by previous entries in both series. I kinda liked the Freddy caterpillar, but beyond that the effects were uninspiring. The gore was amateurish, and the gratuitous nudity early on didn’t exactly make up for it. Overall the production had a lot more in common with the Friday series than the Nightmare set, particularly in the distinct lack of engaging characters among the victims. I guess I’ve seen worse horror movies, but given this movie’s potential – not to mention all the hype – I hoped for a little more than I got. Mildly amusing
