![]() Who are our mostly-doomed teenagers this time around? There’s Lori (Monica Keena), a virginal horror protagonist in the "final girl" mold, who grieves the bizarre death of her mother and a subsequent ghosting from her boyfriend. From there, he can feed on that fear, get his power back, and pick up where Jason left off. Freddy figures that the teens who don’t get killed by Jason will be scared they’ll be next. ![]() He orders Jason to travel to Springwood, Ohio, wander over to Elm Street, and slash up some teenagers. In the dreams, Freddy pretends to be Jason’s mother (Paula Shaw, replacing Betsy Palmer). So Freddy uses the minimal power he has left to pop into the dreams of an undead super-killer: Jason Vorhees (Ken Kirzinger, replacing fan-favorite Kane Hodder, a move that remains extremely controversial among Friday the 13th diehards). As always, Freddy draws his power from being feared-but in 2003, no one remembers him anymore. It starts with Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund, reprising a role he had held since the original Nightmare on Elm Street). ![]() A clumsy (but probably necessary) opening monologue lays out the stakes. ![]() Jason that ultimately hit theaters in 2003 went with a simpler explanation than all of that.
