Encyclopedic overview
Freddy vs. Jason is a 2003 American supernatural action slasher film directed by Ronny Yu and written by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift, featuring the characters Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street and Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th, created by Wes Craven and Victor Miller, respectively. It is a crossover between the two franchises, serving as the eighth installment in the A Nightmare on Elm Street series and the eleventh installment in the Friday the 13th series. The film stars Monica Keena, Kelly Rowland, Jason Ritter, Christopher George Marquette, Lochlyn Munro, and Robert Englund reprising his role as Krueger from previous films.
The film is a sequel to both Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991) and Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993), taking place before the events of Jason X (2001). After being trapped in Hell, Freddy Krueger finds himself weakened and forgotten, with the residents of Springwood taking medication to suppress their dreams. To regain his power, he resurrects Jason Voorhees to spread fear and restore his strength. However, Voorhees soon proves uncontrollable, setting the stage for a violent clash between the two supernatural killers.
