Lack of good storyline.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Well pretty much from the start you can see how much of an improvement this is over part one of The Nightmare Ends on Halloween, the costumes and masks look a lot better, the camera work is clearer, it moves faster and the action is better staged, the lighting, all of it, you can see how much Chris Notarile had improved his basic skills as a director in the intervening years before he made this short. It picks up right where the first part ended, with the scheming Freddy Kruegar being condemned to eternal damnation by the king of hell Pinhead for attempting to escape the netherworld a second time and being sentenced to fight for his unnatural life against the chainsaw-wielding hillbilly maniac Leatherface, the dark and deadly stalker of Halloween Michael Myers, and the undying and unstoppable might of his old foe, the slaughterer of Camp Crystal Lake, Jason Voorhies, one after another, and finding himself transported to each of their respective hunting grounds as he does so. And after surviving each trial by combat through his own grim determination and sheer viciousness, the nightmare slasher of Elm Street comes up against the death-dealing torture judge lord of the Cenobites himself, who, rather than engaging in any form of combat, simply takes away all of Freddy's supernatural abilities, rendering him a mere man once again, who is helplessly strung up as his bloodthirsty cohorts close in for the kill... Has the suddenly mortal Freddy met his final doom at last? Well we'll probably never get to know because Notarile has yet to make a third part! It's all good though, perhaps the numerous short films about Freddy that Notarile has made since could be seen as serving as a continuation of sorts.. Most of the fan made short films like this are often just horribly stiff and awkward, but like every short directed by Notarile that I've seen he's the exception to the rule and this works and is very entertaining. The guy that played Freddy in the first part was fine to me, but the actor in this, Robert Lombardi, did a fantastic job and he embodied a lot of the looks and attitude of Robert Englund. Even his voice was great, I loved all of Freddy's dialogue, it really seemed like stuff that Freddy would actually say I thought. And the 'point' is that if you're a fan of the movies these characters come from then it's just a lot of fun see them share the screen as it were. Great short, it's action packed it never stops moving and it ends on a hell of a cliffhanger that leaves you wanting more, fun watch. Please make one more someday Chris!! X

What's the point? It's great to be a super fan, & if you wanna make short films, then do it, just don't bite off more than you can chew. The Krueger shorts were a good idea, and manageable, but Freddy vs Jason vs Michael Myers vs Leatherface featuring Pinhead? That's more than most Hollywood writers can chew. So why bother? If you can't do it right, why do it? At least when it comes to Indie filmmaking. I mean they could've all looked much worse, but Freddy's giant nose, Myers's mask sticking out all weird at the neck, and Leatherface's goblin mask w/giant chin? They were too distracting to ignore. 90%-All of Freddy's dialogue was god awful, and nothing like the character. They used the same trope twice in a row with Myers and Jason both dropping their famous weapon. And Leatherface...ahh it was all pretty bad. It was good for one of these weird Batman Dead End shorts, but overall it was pointless. Oh yeah, and there was ZerO Gore.

Most Fan-films are very bore and lacks creative control; however, Chris and his creative mind combine all of the best and most iconic legends of horror into one short. Let's start off with the story itself. This is a great continuation from the first part which, in my opinion should have been all one movie instead of two a part series. The story continues directly right where the first part ends. The idea of having Jason, Michael and Leatherface working as Pinheads drones is great since all other those icons have there own personality and adding Pinhead as the leader of hell is a brilliant idea in of itself. With the acting to all the icons, I find the Freddy character, should have talked less and gave more action to his character. With him being the only icon that has a mouth and can speak, he should have talked a little less. On to Pinhead (actor), in my option, should have darker vocals since he is like the devil in a character made for horror films. The Directing, staging and blocking are pretty good when it comes to this part; furthermore, in my option, the first part might have been better in staging and blocking when it comes to having multiple characters on screen. For the settings; however, are very unique. I love the idea when Freddy gets knocked into the characters locations are great to see. During the Friday the 13th settings, has the best setting out of all three of them since the heavy rain gives it an eerie atmosphere to work with. My less favorite has to be the Leatherface settings only because it looks to unrealistic and does not really look like a Texas landscape. Whereas Jason and Mikes settings can really be any place that looks like the Myers house or a camp really. All in All i gave this fan-film 7 out of 10 because of the acting, settings and comparison of part 1 to part 2. The concept and story are great but without believable settings, they do not work well, in my option.

I Really Really Love this Movie. You Can't Say Much for a short film though it was a pretty good watch. For a fan-made film it's pretty amazing. And Literally Feels Like I'm Watching a real Movie.And the Acting is Beyond Impressive. So it is One Amazing Masterpiece And Definitely Worth watching,Now It's One of the Best Monster Mashes I Have Ever Seen. I Just can't Do it Justice it's So Good For a Film. I Just wish it was a little Longer. It's a short film though if it was a longer film i could appreciate it a little more.Though nonetheless It's One Great Film. And This Freddy is pretty much identical to Robert England So Overall. If you're a fan of Jason,Leather Face,Freddy,Michael Myers, Or Pinhead Watch it.
