Nightmare on Elm Street

I know my take on the Nightmare on Elm Street movie is late, but you have no idea how busy I have been.

The new Freddy Krueger look

So I saw the movie twice. The first time I viewed it I went with my two nieces. They jumped and screamed every 20 seconds, and it was truly pissing me off. I couldn’t get in to the movie because I had both of them pulling on my arm through the entire movie. The second time I went to see the movie was with a friend, and I was able to sit back and fully take in the movie without the distractions of my ever so beloved nieces *rolls eyes*.

I can honestly say that I was very impressed with the directors vision. He was aiming to give the movie a newer feel but yet still using the same formula of the original movie. The only thing I was lightweight not feeling was this newer looking Freddy Krueger.

The new Freddy....ehh

I understand that the director wanted to give Freddy a foreal burn victim look, but Freddy is a classic character, and you can’t go changing his look thinking that Nightmare On Elm Street fans will be happy with this change. Freddy’s look is a part of what made him, and I personally think they should not have messed with that.

Anywho, I personally think the movie was good, I give it 3 1/2 out of 5 stars. I don’t want to spoil the movie for the people who want to see it but haven’t yet, so I won’t give out too much info; lets just say I think the movie is worth going to see.

YESSSSSSSSS! Nightmare on Elm Street comes out tomorrow!!! I can’t begin to explain how excited I am about this! I have always been a fan of scary movies, I have never been a sappy love story flix chick.

Don't Fall Asleep........

When I was younger, every Friday after my mom got off of work, she would take me to the video rental store and let me pick out 1 or 2 movies to watch over the weekend. Like clockwork, I would always make my way over to the “Horror” movie section.

While most children around the age of 8 would be scared to watch a scary movie by themselves, I was perfectly fine with it. I would have my bowl of popcorn, juice, and cover, sprawled out on the family room floor, lights off, enjoying my movie.

Even though Freddy Krueger was this evil horrible monster, I always found him to be entertaining to watch. In my opinion he was the funny scary man. While all the other scary movie characters like Jason, and Micheal Myers were always so damn serious, Freddy Krueger always threw in a good joke here and there to give you a good chuckle.

I really hope and pray that this re-make of Nightmare on Elm Street doesn’t disappoint me. Because over the past 10-15 years, scary movies have been horrible; they’re not even scary,which pisses me off.

Regardless if I am still sick or not, I will be at the movie theater tomorrow to see this movie, even if I go by myself. Yess it’s that serious. I will make sure to come back and do a blog on my opinion of this re-make.
