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.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

A gleefully brainless, blood-soaked clash of horror icons, Freddy vs. Jason ends up being more of a letdown than a showdown, with its fleeting guilty pleasures buried beneath bad dialogue and excessive gore.

As both are unstoppable, there is a little problem for the writers at what you might call the heart of the splatter. Go to Full Review

Jason H @RT50328122 1 day ago The story is bad. The dialogue is bad. The acting is (mostly) bad. Yep; it's a Friday the 13th movie. See more Austin C @Austincole219 4 days ago Just 2 classic horror movie slashers going at it in one movie makes it 4 stars. See more Carter H @quality_finds Oct 9, 2026 I liked it, but it definitely could have been written better It wasn’t the classic Camp Crystal Lake, it was a combination of highschoolers, familys, and trauma Weird mix? Yes but somehow that creative writing worked, although a lot of the writing could have made viewers more excited, but the movie overall is exciting and decently entertaining The problem with the old Friday the 13th movies is that the writing is so bland that they’re not that entertaining for the majority But this movie had a conflict that draws you in more than just trying to kill Jason SPOILER: The duo of Freddy and Jason really did make sense, although Freddy getting mad at Jason and Jasons weakness and all that was moronic writing, there could have been a better way to turn then on each other I think this is a movie you definitely either like or don’t like. Not a great movie but it’s not a bad movie either I liked it enough that I will definitely watch it again 2.5 stars I liked it See more Noah W @Parkboy13 Oct 5, 2026 this movie could of been so much better but its a movie of the 2000s they did there best but movie around this time just suckkkkkkkkkkk like the acting the cinematography directing writing all of it is just so half butt attempt. however when its freddy and jason the love and passion come through and their fight is why your hear enjoy them when they are there maybe fast forward the rest See more Robert P @Superbad Sep 4, 2026 A kind of Cheesy movie but worthy of a *2 and 1/2* stars See more B P @Bradster69 Aug 31, 2026 Not Bad, but Not My Favorite See more Read all reviews
