A few thoughts: A ridiculous nonsensical action horror movie that exists for the singular purpose of pitting two of the greatest slasher villains of all-time against each other. And if you're a fan of the tongue-in-cheek silliness often found in films of these two franchises (Elm Street and Friday the 13th, assuming you don't already know), odds are this won't be a disappointment to you. While Freddy movies did start to become a little too goofy there for a while (the 6th was total dumb crap), I feel the set-up here warrants a far less serious appearance by him, and the way they throw Jason into the story is both fitting and fun. The script is totally stupid, constantly explaining itself to all the stoners in the audience who can't keep up, all the while having fun with the crazy concept and giving said stoners plenty to laugh and cheer at. This is a party horror movie, not meant to be taken seriously at all, which is a good thing. It was mostly pretty dumb, but I had fun with it, and enjoyed some of the practical effects.
Anyone who might be interested in seeing Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger brutally maim each other.
My grade: C-
