Quick Synopsis:
Nobody remembers Freddy Krueger after the people of Springwood successfully quarantined all those who remembered him. Those who remember Freddy are institutionalized and given anti-dreaming pills. Freddy makes a deal with Jason Vorhees to help the people of Springwood remember, but it doesn’t all go to plan and soon Freddy has to deal with Jason’s rampage.
The Bad:
- The “pinball” fight between Freddy and Jason in dreamland.
- Deputy Stubbs dies too quickly.
- Lori’s friend Gibb kind of dies in a lame way.
The Good:
- The young Jason Vorhees at camp.
- The background story on Freddy.
- When Freddy’s makes his return with Mark.
Final Thoughts:
I thought was actually really well done. There were lots of faithful tie-ins to both storylines. After all this time, I never knew that Camp Crystal Lake was just down the road from Springwood!
