Freddy vs. Jason

Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees return to terrorize the teenagers of Elm Street. Only this time, they're out to get each other, too.

Critics were largely cold on this long-awaited crossover, finding it more loud spectacle than genuine horror — though franchise devotees responded warmly. The divide between press reception and audience enthusiasm is the real story here: critics called it formulaic and unfavorable, while fans who showed up left satisfied.
