A Nightmare on Elm Street reviews…
Ouch. First Spill:
Then the NYPost, Kyle Smith:
…To the audience suckered into paying to see this, here’s why your generation sucks. A book for first-graders by Carl Reiner was called “Tell Me a Scary Story, But Not Too Scary.” Young adults going to this movie are, mentally, first-graders with a higher tolerance for gore.
Going in, you know the story and pretty much what’s going to happen in every scene (Freddy is going to pop up in varying settings). A girl gets in the bathtub and everyone waits for the finger-knives to appear so they can issue a properly prepared-for shriek. That’s pretend scared.
Now that there have been eight Freddy movies, 12 Jasons and 10 Halloweens, it might be time to declare that kids like to see the same stuff over and over. (When Generation X sat through all this, at least it was new, or new-ish.) But just as you can’t tickle yourself, you can’t really be scared unless you honestly don’t know what’s next. Teens are so uncertain all the time that they crave movies where everything is as pre-arranged as soccer practice. When you start to notice that full-on predictability has become unpleasant to watch, you might just have arrived at the moment of your moviegoing maturity.
Though Freddy is basically the same guy as in the 1984 original, his back story is different. For a few minutes the movie threatens to become interesting — then retreats. (Mild spoilers follow.)…

Twofer Tuesday: A Nightmare on Elm Street…
Courtesy of DailyGamingNews an interview with two guys who make a load of money riffing other peoples work..of course for Elm St I will go see it for Thomas Dekker, but passed on F13TH and other assorted BS YARM….
When DarkCastle Entertainment remade old William Castle films it was bringing truly older horror with an updated feel to an entirely new audience in the 90s for the most part, what these guys are doing is bogus, taking a load of cash and reworking films that have not yet passed into the great collective cultural consciousness of the PAST- the originals are still part of our present, ya dig? Can we at least wait 40 years? I mean all the original actors are still alive so clearly not enough time has passed, let that be the bar from now on shall we? Cant these guys find an original idea out there in LA LA land with a flashlight and two hands cmon people WORK FOR IT…
These guys are no different from people duping rap in the 80s.and rappers who sampled previous hits to game their own…
