Freddy vs. Jason is a 2003 American slasher film directed by Ronny Yu and written by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift. It is a crossover between A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th, being the eighth installment in the former and the eleventh in the latter. The film stars Monica Keena, Kelly Rowland, Jason Ritter, Christopher George Marquette, Lochlyn Munro, and Robert Englund.

The film combines the two series in a shared universe and pits their respective antagonists, Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees, against each other. Freddy is weakened and forgotten because the citizens of his home town Springwood have defeated him by using medications that repress dreams. Freddy awakens Jason to stir up fear and grow his powers so that he may return and kill again. Jason turns out to not be as easily controlled as Freddy initially thought, and the two supernatural mass murderers come into conflict. The film is the last film in each franchise before their respective reboots: A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th.

Freddy vs. Jason was released in the United States on August 15, 2003. The film received mixed reviews from critics, but grossed $116.6 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing film in both franchises. The film marks Robert Englund's final portrayal as Freddy Krueger. A sequel and crossover with the Evil Dead franchise was planned, but it was scrapped and turned into a comic book limited series, Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash, and its follow-up The Nightmare Warriors.

Plot

[edit]

Since his last defeat, Freddy Krueger has been in Hell and unable to invade children's dreams, as the adults of Springwood have gone to extremes to ensure their children forget him. All mention of him has been removed from public records, and any children who dream of him are forcibly institutionalized at Westin Hills Psychiatric Hospital to contain the spread. They are given the dream suppressant drug Hypnocil. Freddy resurrects Jason Voorhees and appears as Jason's mother, Pamela Voorhees, to manipulate him into thinking his mother wants him to go to Elm Street and kill. This will create fear in the townsfolk that Freddy has returned, allowing him to regain his power.

Lori Campbell lives with her widowed father. During a sleepover with her friends Kia, Gibb, Gibb's emotionally abusive boyfriend Trey, and his friend Blake, Jason murders Trey and then kills Blake and his father. The police label it a murder–suicide, hoping to conceal Freddy's return from the town.

Lori's ex-boyfriend, Will Rollins, and his friend Mark Davis, who are involuntary psychiatric patients at Westin Hills due to their previous contact with Freddy, see a news report about the killings and decide to escape to warn Lori. That night, Lori and her friends attend a rave in a cornfield. Freddy tries to kill Gibb in a nightmare, but Jason kills her first in the real world and goes on a murder rampage at the rave, angering Freddy, who realizes that Jason's killing spree will deny him victims.

The friends escape the rave with school nerd Charlie and stoner Bill. Will reveals to Lori that he witnessed her dad killing her mom and he had him put in Westin to keep him from revealing the truth and they soon witness Mark getting killed by Freddy. Deputy Scott Stubbs helps the teens. Learning about Hypnocil, they try to steal it from Westin Hills to suppress their dreams; however, Freddy uses Bill to dispose of the medicine. Jason kills Stubbs. Freddy uses the possessed Bill to tranquilize Jason, causing him to fall asleep after slashing Bill in half.

The teens devise a plan to pull Freddy from the dream world into reality and force him to fight Jason, bringing the unconscious Jason back to Camp Crystal Lake in New Jersey. Freddy fights Jason in the dream world, where he discovers that Jason has a fear of drowning. He uses this to his advantage, causing Jason to revert to his younger self. Lori goes to sleep to pull Freddy out and save Jason. Freddy tortures Lori in her dream, revealing that he murdered her mother. Jason awakens at the real Camp Crystal Lake and pursues the teens, fatally injuring Charlie. Lori wakes up and pulls Freddy into the physical world, where Jason confronts him.

Freddy and Jason fight throughout the campgrounds, during which Jason kills Kia. As Freddy gains the upper hand, Lori distracts him, allowing Jason to punch through his torso. Freddy plunges Jason's machete into his side, and Jason rips off Freddy's gloved arm. Lori and Will set the dock on fire, causing an explosion that throws Freddy and Jason into the lake. Freddy climbs out and is about to kill the pair but is impaled by Jason with his gloved arm, allowing Lori to behead Freddy with Jason's machete. Jason, Freddy's head, and his body sink into the lake, seemingly dead.

The next morning, Jason emerges from the lake, holding his machete and Freddy's head. Freddy winks at the camera, leaving the winner ambiguous.

Additionally, Evangeline Lilly had a walk-on role as a high-school student.[5][6] New Line Cinema studio chief Robert Shaye,[7] who produced every preceding Nightmare on Elm Street film, played the school principal (credited as L.E. Moko).[citation needed]

Production

[edit]

Development

[edit]

Influenced by fan desire for a crossover film with a fight between Freddy and Jason, New Line Cinema and Paramount Pictures tried to make a Freddy vs. Jason movie in 1987. Frank Mancuso Jr. enlisted Tom McLoughlin to unite the studios, but no agreement could be made.[8] When Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan failed at the box office, Sean S. Cunningham wanted to reacquire the rights to Friday the 13th and begin working with New Line Cinema on Freddy vs. Jason. Paramount and New Line wanted the license to the other's character so they could control a crossover film. Negotiations on the project collapsed, and Paramount made Jason Takes Manhattan. After Jason Takes Manhattan was released in 1989, the rights reverted to Scuderi, Minasian, and Barsamianto (who sold them to New Line). Two years after initial talks fell apart, director Joseph Zito attempted to revive the project, but neither Mancuso nor Robert Shaye were interested in pursuing the project.[9] Before Cunningham could begin to work on Freddy vs. Jason, Wes Craven returned to New Line to make New Nightmare. This put Freddy vs. Jason on hold, but allowed Cunningham to bring Jason back with Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday.[10] The ninth installment "turned a healthy profit".[11] In a 1995 interview with Fangoria, Craven was dismissive of the idea of Freddy vs. Jason, saying it was taking "something that had a lot of impact and dignity and dragging it down to another level."[12] Cunningham's "frustration" with the delayed development of Freddy vs. Jason led him to create Jason X to keep the series alive. Based on Jason Takes Manhattan's concept of taking Jason away from Crystal Lake, the tenth film put the titular character in space.[13] The film lost its biggest supporter with the resignation of president of production Michael De Luca. Lack of support let the finished film sit for two years before it was released on April 26, 2002. It was the series' lowest-grossing film at the domestic box office, and had the largest budget of any of the films to date.[14] Jason Goes to Hell duo Adam Marcus and Dean Lorey were courted early on, but no official deal was finalized.[15][16]

New Line spent a reported $6 million on script development alone from several different writers.[17] Lewis Abernathy, writer of Deepstar Six and House IV, was the first screenwriter attached to the film. Abernathy sought to direct his script, entitled Nightmare 13: Freddy Meets Jason, but his limited directing experience prohibited him from doing so.[18] David J. Schow was given an offer to write the script because he just happened to walk by De Luca's office one day.[17] Schow revised Abernathy's script, expanding upon a cult that worships Freddy Krueger.[19] In 1994, De Luca passed on the draft and turned to Brannon Braga and Ronald D. Moore, who wrote Jason vs. Freddy, which had a more "adult tone" than previous entries.[20] The writing duo would depart the film and would be replaced by Peter Briggs, who impressed the studio with his previous crossover attempt, Alien vs. Predator. Briggs' draft saw numerous returning characters across several films.[21] By 1996, Demon Knight scribes Cyrus Voris and Ethan Reiff were commissioned by Cunningham to write a new script, under the title Freddy vs. Jason: Millennium Massacre, with Rob Bottin, known for his make-up work on The Thing and Total Recall, directing.[22][23] New Line previously offered the spot to Guillermo del Toro and Peter Jackson to no avail.[24][25] Bottin opted to drop the current draft of the script and penned his own treatment. David S. Goyer and his writing partner James Dale Robinson were subsequently hired to flesh out Bottin's treatment into a screenplay. No parties involved were happy with the script, leading to Goyer and Robinson exiting the film.[26] Bottin and his treatment were retained despite clashing with the studio over the film's budget. Screenwriting duo Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger, known for their work on King of the Hill, were selected by the director to write a new script. The draft was widely disliked at Cunningham Productions.[27] Bottin initially considered revising the script himself, but ultimately left the film altogether.[28]

In 1999, Mark Verheiden entered the project and proposed releasing the film with two different endings; one with Freddy winning and one with Jason winning.[29] The next year, De Luca hired Mark Protosevich to write an entirely new script.[30] Jason X writer Todd Farmer wrote for the film as well.[31] Newcomers Mark Swift & Damian Shannon were hired after delivering a pitch that De Luca was happy with in March 2002.[32] Goyer returned to the project once again in an effort to trim "every ounce of fat" from Swift and Shannon's 120-page script.[33] Wes Craven, Guillermo del Toro, and Ronny Yu all declined the opportunity to direct the film.[34] Rob Zombie turned the film down in favor to helm House of 1000 Corpses.[35] Then up-and-coming filmmaker Jaume Balagueró campaigned to direct the film. Yu would ultimately sign on to direct the film in May 2002 after being given an "enormous" amount of creative freedom.[34] According to Swift and Shannon, several endings were considered for the film; one involved a surprise appearance from Pinhead of the Hellraiser franchise, but New Line did not want to secure the rights for the character.[36]

Casting

[edit]

In 1999, Robert Englund officially signed onto the film, marking his eighth appearance as the character of Freddy Krueger.[22] In August 2002, Entertainment Weekly revealed Kelly Rowland and Brad Renfro were cast in the film, while Kane Hodder would reprise his role as Jason Voorhees.[37][38] However, conflicting reports emerged with IGN stating that the film was looking to reinvent the character, thus ditching Hodder.[39] Monica Keena was selected to portray the film's lead after an "extensive search", while the supporting cast were made up of Canadian actors, including Katharine Isabelle, Lochlyn Munro, Brendan Fletcher, Tom Butler, David Kopp, Jesse Hutch, Kyle Labine and Zack Ward.[40] Betsy Palmer was courted to reprise her role as Pamela Voorhees from Friday the 13th, but declined due to salary disputes.[41] Actress Paula Shaw would assume the role from Palmer.[42] Just one week before production commenced, Jason Ritter was cast in place of Renfro.[43]

Casting Jason

[edit]

New Line, thinking that Freddy vs. Jason needed a fresh start, chose a different actor to play Jason. Cunningham disagreed with their decision, believing that Kane Hodder, who had played Jason in the previous four films, was the best choice for the role.[44] Although Hodder received a script for Freddy vs. Jason and met with director Ronny Yu and New Line executives, Yu and Matthew Barry felt that the role should be recast to fit Yu's image of Jason.[44] Hodder said that New Line did not give him a reason for the recasting; according to Yu, however, he wanted a taller, slower and more-deliberate Jason.[45] The role went to Ken Kirzinger, a Canadian stuntman who worked on Jason Takes Manhattan. Yu said that Kirzinger was hired because he was taller than Robert Englund, who played Freddy Krueger. Kirzinger is 6 feet 5 inches (196 cm) tall, compared to the 6-foot-3-inch (191 cm) Hodder, and Yu wanted a much taller actor than the 5-foot-9-inch (175 cm) Englund. Kirzinger believed that his experience on Part VIII (doubling for Hodder in two scenes) and his height helped him land the part.[44][45] New Line did not cast Kirzinger until they saw him on film, and his first scene was Jason walking down Elm Street.[44] Douglas Tait played Jason in a re-shot ending:

Unfortunately for me, it was the only scene I was hired to do. The test audiences were confused about the original ending, they thought Jason Ritter's character was becoming Jason [sic]. You can see it in the deleted scenes, that is why they decided to re-shoot the ending. Originally I was being considered for playing the role of Jason in the entire film. It was actually between me and Ken. When they took the film to Canada, I was out of luck. There was no way they were going to pay for my flight and hotel stay when Ken was a local. Also, Ken is older than me and he was a lot more established in the business than I was at the time ... I was on the film for a couple days. The water sequence took a lot of preparation. They realized that when I got wet, I looked too skinny in the clothes, so they had to bulk me up with pads and extra clothing so it would look like I was still big. Being with all this extra weight, one eye covered, a machete in one hand, Freddy's head in another hand, and being totally submerged in water, made that scene very difficult. Also, Ronny Yu wanted me to walk like I was walking on land. He wanted it to look like I could walk through the water without it making me rise to the surface. To do this effect, they had a rope tied under water that I held onto with my left hand (with Freddy's severed head in it also), and I held myself down on the ground so I could pull myself and walk forward.[46]

Critical response

[edit]

On Rotten Tomatoes, Freddy vs. Jason has an approval rating of 42% based on 165 reviews and an average rating of 4.3/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Fans of the two horror franchises will enjoy this showdown. But for everyone else, it's the same old slice and dice."[52] On Metacritic the film has a weighted average score of 37 out of 100 based on 29 reviews, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[53] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave it an average grade of "B+" on an A+-to-F scale.[54]

Kim Newman of Empire gave the film three stars out of five, writing: "FVJ ignores any attempts at cleverness and picks up storylines dropped in Freddy's Dead and Jason Goes to Hell".[55] Sacha Molitorisz of The Sydney Morning Herald wrote: "this is a solid effort, with enough frights, humour, blood, surprises and killer dialogue to entertain consistently."[56] Robert K. Elder of the Chicago Tribune gave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying that it "succeeds as a guilty pleasure, a monster mash that clobbers the recent lackluster sequels plaguing both legacies."[57]

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly published in 2023, Robert Englund said he was proud of Freddy vs. Jason: "It took the genius of Ronny Yu. I'm really proud of that film. It's really fun to see on a nice big flat screen with the sound turned up and some cold pizza."[58]
