Nightmare On Elm Street

Hey, is anybody going to see Nightmare On Elm Street this week? I saw an ad for the “Nightmare On Elm Street” movie coming to theaters for two nights (9/20 & 9/21) before it comes out on DVD. I’ve never seen it in the theater before and they are showing a special segment of all of Freddy’s best kills after the show! It’s a great movie - freaky and I got my tickets at www.bigscreenboxoffice.com

I've got to disagree with you there.

That was it's method of effectiveness. Some people, myself included, don't need gruesome horror violence throughout the movie, so by only appearing a few times in the film he creates a mysterium for himself.

Ever wonder why Jason and Freddy looked more and more rediculous after every sequel? It's due to the audience getting comfortable with the bad guy. We know every inch of Freddy Krueger, so he's just not scary anymore. In fact, he's comical.

Sometimes it isn't what we see, but what we can't see that terrifies us.

And that's why I disagree that A Nightmare On Elm Street is a bad film due to a lack of Freddy screen time.

I'm 100% with you on that one. A nightmare on Elm Street was about this weird and obscure monster who haunted teens in their dreams, so it worked a hell of a lot better when Freddy remained shrouded in mystery!

One of my favorites....

Although, again, no bashing towards you, but this is the wrong forum for this new of a movie.
