Horror film that pits Freddy Kruger
(Robert Englund), the slasher from the "Nightmare on Elm Street"
series, against Jason Voorhees (Ken Kirzinger), the undead hockey
goalie from the "Friday the 13th" series. A gaggle of teen
stereotypes also shows up in the middle of the battle, and they're
promptly slashed and slaughtered. Also with Monica Keena, Jason
Ritter and Kelly Rowland. Directed by Ronny Yu. [1:35]
SEX/NUDITY 7 - A young man kisses a young woman,
invites her upstairs, begins unbuttoning his shirt and we see them
having sex in bed together -- she is thrusting rhythmically on top
of him (we see her bare back and his bare chest). A young woman
dreams that her father tries to kiss her and we see him trying to
put his tongue in her mouth, then a man with a badly scarred face
tries to kiss her in the same manner. A young man and a young woman
appear to be having sex (they are clothed), then the young woman is
shown nude (we see her bare breasts) and dead (tinged blue) and the
young man changes to a badly scarred man. A young woman takes a
shower and we see her bare breasts. A young woman takes off her
clothes (we see her bare breasts and buttocks), jumps into water and
invites a young man to join her. A young man presses his bare
buttocks against a window. A young boy lies nude on a floor. Young
women wear short tops that reveal bare abdomens and cleavage and
low-cut pants that reveal bare backs to the hip. A young man climbs
on top of a young woman who has passed out and begins kissing her
neck and caressing her. A young man and a young woman kiss and
caress each other. Young men and women dance at a party. A young man
talks about having paid for sex. A young woman makes a sexual
gesture with her hips and arms. A young man scratches his crotch.
VIOLENCE/GORE 10 - The two bad guys are gruesome in
appearance: Freddy Kruger has badly scarred skin on his face and
sharp, blackened teeth, and has knife blades covering each finger on
one hand; Jason Voorhees wears a hockey mask and we can see a bit of
hair and a badly malformed head and ears (he carries a huge machete
as his weapon of choice). Many people are carved up, sliced and
diced by the two bad guys: A young man lying in bed is stabbed
repeatedly through the back, he groans with every strike (we see
from under the mattress the knife poking through and blood and
tissue pouring through), the bed is then folded up bending the young
man in half backwards (we hear crunching and squishing and see blood
pouring from his mouth). A man is stabbed through the back by a
blade-covered hand. A young man is cut in half by a machete and we
see the two pieces fall to the floor with blood spurting, spraying
and gushing. A man's head is cut off, it falls into water (blood
spurts and sprays). A young man dreams that he sees a gruesome face
in a mirror, he sees a man sitting in a bathtub filled with blood,
the man has deep slits in his wrists and blood pours from them,
tendrils of bloody tissue crawl up his ankles, and snakes slither
around in a pool of blood; then in real life the young man's back is
set on fire and bloody slashes appear on his face (we see a brand
burned on the skin on his back). A young woman is slashed by a
machete, a young woman is stabbed in the chest (we see bloody
slashes), a young man is slashed on the back (we see blood trickling
down his leg), a young woman hits a man repeatedly, she is hit and
thrown against a wall, a young man is thrown into a pointed rod
sticking out of a wall (we see him bleeding), a man touches the
insides of a woman's legs with sharp knives, and a young woman's
hand falls into a flame. A man swings a machete, it hits an
electrical panel that sends a jolt of electricity through him, he
grabs another man who is also jolted and we see the second man's
face melt and bubble from the heat. A man pokes a blade into a young
boy's temple, it begins to bleed and the child whimpers. A young man
nudges a man sitting next to him and his head falls off and into his
lap (blood spurts from the neck). Many young people at a party are
slashed across the chest, blood sprays and they fall to the ground.
A young woman becomes frightened when she hears a noise, she runs
through woods to get away from a man, she falls, the man stabs her
through the stomach and pushes her into a tree where she hangs
(blood pours down and drips from her feet). A young woman dreams
that she is trapped in a grain silo with a man with blade-covered
fingers, he chases her, she runs, falls over a railing, crashes to
the floor, he startles her when he lunges at her and we see a bloody
hole appear on her chest where she is being stabbed repeatedly in
real life (a young man is stabbed in the back with a pole and flung
through the air at the same time). A young woman is slashed by a
machete and flung into a tree where she lies dead and bleeding. The
film features a "dream" world along the presumably "real" one: Two
men fight in the real world, with many punches and kicks: one is
dragged along a wall through windows and beams, one is thrown out of
the cabin and through a roof, one is knocked through the air by a
flying gas tank, one is impaled by falling metal rods (blood pours,
spurts and sprays), one is hit repeatedly by a swinging cement
conveyor, one is hacked in the back repeatedly, one is stabbed in
the eyes and the stomach repeatedly and blood pools on his body, one
pulls something out of the other's chest, one pulls the arm off the
other (blood pours and sprays), and one falls and dangles by the
foot and he is pulled down and cut by the other one. Both are hit by
a rolling cart, one's fingers are cut off and he drops his knife,
and when the dock they are standing on is set on fire a gas tank
explodes and sends them both, in flames, into the water. Two men
fight in the dream world: one has his arms hacked off, they spurt
blood, he grows two new arms, one is pinned to a pole by a machete
through his chest, they fight with punches and kicks and throwing
each other into walls and pipes (one bounces around as if he is in a
pinball game) and a huge barrel falls from the ceiling and lands on
one of them (he pushes it off and continues fighting). A young man
imagines a large lizard/caterpillar creature lunging at his face,
crawling into his mouth and down his throat. A young woman slips in
a puddle of blood, opens a door and sees a young man dead and
covered with blood. A young man is slashed across the chest and
blood sprays on a nearby wall. We see a man after having been
crushed under a door and blood collects in a puddle under his head.
A young woman dreams that a man with bladed fingers cuts her nose
off (we see a bloody cavity where her nose had been). A young man
pours alcohol on a man and sets him ablaze. A young man's head is
twisted around and we hear his neck crack, and another young man is
stabbed through the back as he runs away. A young man dreams that he
sees a man in a street who lunges at him and thrusts his arm with
blade-covered fingers through his chest but he is uninjured. A young
woman dreams that a young man holding his severed head under his arm
talks to her. A man holds a woman's severed head. A woman dreams
that she backs into a wall, it changes into a door and blood pours
from the frame. We see people being killed by a badly scarred bad
guy in their dreams: we see his head popping through a man's chest,
blood pours and sprays and fills a room. A little girl whimpers and
speaks to a young woman (in her dream) and we see the girl's eye
sockets with bloody slashes over them. A young woman pulls off a
man's ear (we hear a squish and see her holding the bloody ear). A
little girl whimpers as a man approaches her with knife blades on
his hand, and we hear her scream. We see a heart begin beating in a
decaying rib cage, eyes open and a man stands up. A man is stabbed
with two hypodermic needles and falls unconscious. A man is injected
in the eye. A young woman gets an injection in the arm. A man talks
about having killed many children and we see newspaper clippings
about each incident. A young man talks about having seen a man kill
a woman. A young man talks about another young man having been
"gutted." A man talks about people killing him and we see his house
set ablaze presumably with him inside. A man throws a baby doll in
an incinerator. A man grabs a young woman out of a car, yells at her
and holds a young man by the throat (we hear him coughing and
gagging). We are startled when a young woman is grabbed by someone.
A man carries another man's severed head and it winks. We see a room
full of people in coma lying on tables with their eyes bandaged and
we see them again sitting up and mumbling. A young woman lifts a
mask off a man's face and prepares to give him mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation. A man yells at a man and waves a lit cigar in his
face. We hear and see a young boy sobbing and quivering. Blood pours
over opening and closing credits and we see slashes on what looks
like flesh. A young man is force-fed liquor through a tube. A young
boy is teased, harassed and pushed into water where he struggles and
slips under (we hear that he nearly drowned. A car swerves, drives
off the road and flips on its side (some of the passengers are
injured). A young woman faints. A young man presses his bare
buttocks against a window and flatulates.
