Synopsis:

This version of FREDDY vs JASON restores several deleted scenes, removes some over-the-top comedic moments, fixes mistakes and brings the movie closer in quality to the best installments of both classic slasher franchises.

Intentions:

As a fan of 80's slasher movies, it was a guarantee that I would enjoy a crossover movie that brought Freddy Krueger against Jason Voorhees. However, as the years following the movie's release went by, I noticed that many elements associated with the late 90's/early oo's resurgence in slasher movies were bringing the movie down. There was too much silly humor, bad CGI and obnoxious music, all reminiscent of the early 2000's horror. My intention is to try and make the movie feel less of its time, take itself more seriously, and bring it closer to what a meet-up between these two horror icons should be.
