Missy Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I like it. It looks much more like a burn victim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 There's something about it that makes him look a lot less human than Robert Englund's Freddy looked. I also like the asymmetry to the eyes. The glove on the other hand, I don't completely care for. There's just something to it, like it looks a little too well done. The original glove looked like something a person with a fair bit of spare time could do. This one, I'm trying to tell if it's supposed to be leather or bronze?

dc20willsave Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I've been skeptical about this film but damn, that poster is just screaming that I have to see it. I'm prepared to be disappointed but I will probably go to see it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Oh shit. They're doing the bodybag. The original bodybag is one of the scariest film moments of all time as far as I'm concerned. I'll definitely see this, but like Will said, I'll keep expectations low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put me on the low expectations list. Also, it makes me want to pull out the boxset and watch the films again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annericelover Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 The new trailer is awesome, they go into how a person can dream even when their awake and everything. http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=103206439&TemplateId=4324&utm_source=ORM&utm_medium=email&utm_term=watchnow&utm_campaign=Nightmare_ademail#pm_cmp=O_4324_ademail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Looks pretty good actually. I like the actual use of real sleep science/psychology which is something the original series lacked. Haley looks rad. One problem, that blonde looks like she's 35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 What a disappointment. The movie had no style or substance, nor are we given a reason to care about the characters. All we know about them is that they're suffering from nightmares, and that they're classmates / sort of friends. The movie rambles from one scene to the next, never bothering to take the time to slow down to establish the world. Director Samuel Bayer makes a huge rookie mistake, in that Nancy doesn't become the lead until 30 minutes in. And that's not a joke. Some random blonde girl and John Connor bore us until it's time for them to die, then Nancy and her would-be boyfriend take center stage. Then they bore us until it's time for the movie to end. Some of the digital effects are eye-catching, such as when reality merges into the dreamscape, but if you've seen the trailers you've seen the effects. Worst of all, Jackie Earle Haley has no presence as Freddy. Whenever he shows up, he's just another actor. Never does he come across as an unstoppable force or even the center of attention. Sadly, he's just there to make a dark, perverted joke before killing someone. If I can give the movie anything, it's that Freddy's plan is sick: Nancy was always his "favorite" victim, and he wanted her to remember what he had done to her as a child so her fear would fuel him. Then, after several days of not sleeping, she'd slip into a coma, where he could rape her for the rest of her life. Other notes: - Quentin isn't a podcaster, as reported. He's just an awkward guy. - No one has sex. In fact, there's only one short kiss. - All of the parents seem to be single. Though not important or mentioned, it does seem odd. - At times it's hard to tell if it's trying to be funny, or if the laughs are unintentional.

Then they bore us until it's time for the movie to end. That was the one thing I hated about the script. Nancy was a background character until the blonde, which the movie spent a lot of time establishing all the sudden dies. Did they keep the stuff about Nancy doubting whether Freddie actually was a molester? I know it was to keep her as a sympathetic character, but it read more as a plot device to get them all conveniently back to the school where it all happened.

Missy Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Freddy's guilt or innocence is a big part of the movie, as it drives the characters forward... but his ultimate guilt is never in question. I mean, he makes several crude comments throughout, revealing his true past. Had the filmmakers altered things so that he was innocent and was now seeking revenge for his murder, that would have been a wonderful twist.
