Rumored and anticipated for years, the two biggest icons of the
slasher genre finally meet in
Freddy Vs. Jason, the eighth entry in the
Nightmare on Elm Street saga and the 11th film in the
Friday the 13th series, though with
Jason X taking place in the future, it should be noted that the events of this film take place after the ninth film
Jason Goes to Hell. And it is hell where
Freddy Kreuger (
Robert Englund) and
Jason Voorhees (
Ken Kirzinger, donning the hockey mask for the first time in a controversial snub against series veteran
Kane Hodder) finally become acquainted. Banished there for eternity,
Freddy devises a plan to manipulate
Jason into continuing his work, hacking up the teenagers of Elm Street. All goes well at first until
Jason realizes he's been duped by "the dream master" and is none too pleased. Coaxed by surviving teenagers
Will (
Jason Ritter),
Lori (
Monica Keena), and
Kia (
Destiny's Child's
Kelly Rowland),
Jason and
Freddy descend upon Crystal Lake for a mano a mano battle royal. Helmed by Hong Kong director
Ronny Yu (
Bride of Chucky,
The Bride With the White Hair),
Freddy Vs. Jason features the director of the first
Friday film,
Sean S. Cunningham serving as producer. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide
