One of the few class lines is delivered by a stoner: "That goalie was pissed about something". No doubt that's how fans will be feeling after seeing this.

Reviews for Freddy vs. Jason
A dumb, but occasionally fun, attempt to squeeze some fresh blood out of two of horror's longest-running franchises.

Top CriticMisses the chance of actually being a good movie, but it feels energetic and colourful.

Top CriticFor most moviegoers, Freddy vs. Jason will be entirely unwatchable. And yet, it’s probably the best slasher movie made since the genre's heyday.
08/19/03
Fans of the two series will laugh, because the genre is so squarely skewered. Others will wonder what the big deal is, having seen King Kong vs. Godzilla, Mothra vs. Rodan and any number of sitcom weddings.
08/14/03
Call it nostalgia, but there's something strangely entertaining, even comforting, about these movies.
08/15/03
Just a slam-bang succession of gross-out mutilations, played for giggles.
08/14/03
The expression 'bloody bore' takes on a new, deeper meaning with Freddy Vs. Jason.
08/15/03
At the rowdy preview I attended, Jason emerged as the crowd favorite. Apparently, moviegoers identify more closely with a mute overgrown child-brute than with a smart-alecky child-killer.
08/26/03
Anyone at a fan convention will tell you that Freddy vs. Jason had the potential to be a horror classic; unfortunately it's ended up as just another slasher flick.
09/06/03
Good concept, mediocre execution.
08/13/03
the usual assortment of harried kids, hopeless cops, inadequate parents, creepy dream sequences and highly creative murders
10/28/03
For the first time since Scream, the slasher genre shows signs of life (was that in poor taste?).
08/13/03
Horror-ifically bad.
