FREDDY VS. JASON brings together two titans of '80s horror: Freddy Kreuger (Robert Englund) and Jason Voorhees (Ken Kirzinger). In a bid to regain his strength through surging fear through the souls of Elm Street, Freddy manipulates Jason to doing some killing on his behalf. However, when Jason starts taking the credit and hacking through more of the available body count, Freddy grows jealous and petty. The fight is on, with a group of teenagers caught in the middle.This movie underwent 17 years of development hell before arriving in theaters. That's 17 years of studios losing and gaining rights to the franchises, installments developed on both sides in lieu of a team-up, a carousel of writers and directors pitching their ideas and ditching the project, and a replacement of one of the most iconic actors to ever don a horror villain's mask. Kane Hodder, you deserve the world.With all this being said, should FREDDY VS. JASON be regarded as a hallmark of the genre? No. It serves best as a sampler of what both franchises have to offer: Freddy's surrealism & sarcasm and Jason's massacring lumbering boogeyman. The CGI effects, emblematic of the time, don't always work. They often elicit a laugh. But given that FRIDAY THE 13TH PART V and FREDDY'S DEAD exist? We could've gotten much worse. The fact this exists in this form is a mini-miracle.A massive thanks to Dakota (To quote Tarantino, he's "a buddy who's more than a brother and a little less than a wife.") for requesting this episode.

Choix de Bruno Invité: Marc-André Lapalice Nous poursuivons notre mois des suites avec le 2e film de la franchise Jeu d'enfant/Chucky. Réalisé par John Lafia (co-scénariste de l'original) et scénarisé par Don Mancini, Child's Play 2 continue l'histoire d'Andy Barclay qui se retrouve dans un genre de Centre jeunesse après avoir vécu un traumatisme lié aux terribles actions commises par Charles Lee Ray. Le tueur en série a pu commettre ces crimes après avoir transféré son âme dans la poupée nommée Chucky. Mais qui peut croire à cette impossible histoire? Après avoir été ramené à la vie, Chucky n'a qu'un but. Retrouver Andy. Mais, où est-il? Au Centre jeunesse? Chez les Simpsons? À l'usine de fabrication de poupées? Au menu: Marc-André fait de belles analogies, Bruno a de drôles de proverbes et récite plusieurs lignes de dialogue, Serge piège ses collègues au quizz et nous analysons les scènes alternatives de la "TV Cut".
