Freddy vs. Jason

Freddy Vs. Jason

Directed by Ronny Yu

Starring Jason Ritter, Robert Englund, Ken Kirzinger & Monica Keena

Lets just start by saying 2 of the longest running horror franchises, 2 of the biggest names in horror and 1 of the weirdest ideas for a film in forever! but does it work ? sure it pays perfect homage to both! but that is about all it does.

So the story Its actually pretty clever? Freddy has been forgetting all his victims locked away from the world and he loses all his powers so in hope to regain that power he re awakens Jason Voorhees crystal lakes finest a mindless drone who kills anything in his path with a machete. Using images of Pamela Voorhee (Jason's mother) convinces him to terrify all of Springwood in hope people would be scared once again! But Jason being Jason takes out all the kids literally walking around hacking through them so people don't know who to fear Jason or Freddy and the battle begins!

opening scene giving huge amounts of background on both characters so the rest can be pure action, this film is pretty intense full of laughs one of best outings for both parties probably the third best Freddy film! i can see why a lot of FT13th fans wouldn't appreciate as there is loads of humour to be found and doesn't follow the usual style of the films and is way more favoured towards a Wes Craven style a very Scream/Final Nightmare style but some slick directing, great dream sequences Robert Englund on top form there isn't much to dislike in this film! (aside from the case of 20 somethings in high school)

a great update for both without remaking a clever use of story the only problem being that it feels very modern don't forget both characters were started in the 80's so its a big jump forward but if you are a horror fan or someone just into gore and laughs on a Saturday night you couldn't go far wrong here.
