Alas, another where the IP is greater (far far greater) than the movie proper.
At least they tried, & Englund showed up game for it.
There's a world in which it would've been better. As it is, we got not only MTV era Freddy callbacks, yet the whole thing felt post-MTV gen horror, which doesn't fit these 2 icons.
I think if there was a way to have had dare I say, less fun with it, it could've been a solid entry - like New Nightmare. Maybe Freddy stalking new teens headed to summer camp, Crystal Lake, only to compete with Jason for kills. Axe all the known lore of the 2 of them from the victims who are too often 1 step ahead.
