A Nightmare On Elm Street Movies: Ranked From Worst To Best

4. Freddy Vs. Jason

For years, surely horror fans dreamed of a face-off film of this caliber - the two greatest slasher icons the genre has ever seen facing off against each other is the stuff of fan fiction dreams. When New Line Cinema took over the Friday The 13th series, the crossover became inevitable, and perhaps no one expected such a film to come out in the early 2000s, but it did, and it's suitably ridiculous. Freddy Vs. Jason is a film that doesn't really require much of a plot. The two franchises were well past their primes at this stage and generally crossovers in general don't make a lot of sense. The fans just want to see two worlds colliding, and in a case like this, they wanted to see blood spilled. The film definitely delivers on the blood and guts factor, with plenty of really fun, gory kills to introduce our two slashers to the 21st century. Yes, as many will argue, the film is a better Jason film than a Freddy one, but putting that aside, it's just a solid slasher flick. The showdown itself might be a tad disappointing, but there's a lot of fun to be had on the way there, and although it goes against what a lot of classic horror films are about, the stylish shooting of the film actually makes it a joy to watch.
