Getting to the point, I chose to review this movie simply because it combines two of the most infamous horror psycho killers in history. In this thrilling horror flick, Freddy Krueger the infamous villain from Nightmare on Elm Street, uses fears to kill people in their dreams in the small town of Springwood, Ohio. Freddy however has started to become weak since the people of Springwood have been starting to suppress their fears of him. To solve this problem and regain his reign of terror and fear, he travels to the depths of hell disguised as the mother of Jason Voorhees, the unstoppable killing machine of camp crystal lake, and tells Jason that he must raise from hell to slaughter the teens of Springwood. Jason starts stealing away Freddy's kills and it leads to a face off between the two in an epic showdown both in reality and in Freddy's twisted dream world.
I love how this movie depicts two almost Immortal beings battling against each other and it shows how in a battle between two matched opponents, both will fall only for the one who gave that last push to rise again in victory. symbolism plays a big role in this movie being that Freddy was portrayed as the leader resurrecting Jason as his pawn yet he had no idea how much power Jason possessed and in the end lost control and ultimately fell. This movie also shows a battle between mind and matter. Freddy battling through mind while Jason fights through a physical mean. Yet in this case mind could not overcome matter when out of its element.
This is a very interesting movie because it brings 2 notorious serial killers together in a face off for top villain. Yes I am still in favor for Freddy Kruger because he is one of the most demented killers in any horror classic. Yes Jason is insane, but Freddy just has that creepy swagger. The reason this movie is so great is because its rarely done, having 2 killers collide in a battle of kills. The fact they really cant die makes it that much better because they beat the living crap out of each other.
