Pros: A classic of its genre! Cons: Seems a bit dated, and at times even cheesy.
This review is part of Lynus’s "Let’s see you review this!" write-off, where each participant gets to challenge another participant to review their choice of film. Apparently Patti wanted to subject me to a Sunday afternoon of rented DVD blood and...
Pros: Excellent writing, and scare factor. Classic Horror Cons: I don't hold horror films to high expectations, therefore no complaints.
This is party of the "That Scared the #@&% out of me!" W/O hosted by st_patrick. We were supposed to write about a product or anything that has scared the #@&% out of us. I chose the easy route and went with a Movie. Please see the participant list at ...
Pros: It's a horror classic for many reasons! Cons: It took me this long to review it!
Horror movie slashers... there are many slashers to choose from, right? There's Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers and even the little ones such as Chucky and the Leprechaun. To me, there is only one slasher that rules them all. Freddy Krueger, also known as ...
Pros: Radical and fascinating themes; many powerful scenes; unrelenting suspense; a complex, unforgettable villain. Cons: It does use a few youth-film cliches.
The claws of the night A Nightmare on Elm Street has marked my life like few films have. Strangely enough, it did not serve as my introduction to the character of Freddy Krueger: I saw two of its sequels (parts 3 and 4) a few times ...
Pros: Scare Factor, Freddy's Character, Plot Cons: Some Acting Wasn't So Swell
The 70s and 80s brought to the world an overabundance of slasher films on the market. Most of these were spawned from the success of the Friday the 13th films, but few managed to capture the same "feeling", though most followed the formula far too ...
Pros: amazing directing, sfx and character design. Cons: still and inevitably has B-movie character development and plot.
A Nightmare on Elm Street (ANoES) is a true classic in the horror genre, and contains a lot of elements of fear that have been lost in modern filmmaking. Freddy Krueger is undeniably one of the best villains ever made. From the beginning when ...
Truly a "masterpiece in fantasy terror," with improved a/v and a slew of extras.
Cons:
The movie's ending is still the weakest link.
This review is part of captaind's The Good Movies EpiGuide 2 write off: http: www.epinions.com content 5245804676< a> Wes Craven's A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET< b> was one of those movies which forever made me a ...
Pros: Special effects, make-up, filming and editing. Cons: Mediocre story, acting, script.
This review leads to my interpretation of the whole story. Some major plot points are detailed. However, if you know little or nothing of the film, then read no further because this review may spoil the ending, such as it is, for you. See the film, then ...
Pros: Portions of Craven's direction, the score Cons: Acting, screenplay, the rest of Craven's direction
Championed as a master of horror, Wes Craven's films are often smug affairs which just make one feel dirty. Mind you, that’s not exactly bad, but Craven hardly ever touched upon anything else besides the smugness. He also often made extremely poor ...
Pros: Krueger is an almost legendary character, scary, good pacing Cons: A bit dated, a couple of cheesy special effects.
In 1984 a movie came out that possessed one of the most recognizable faces in horror movies for years to come. With his dirty brown hat, infamously striped sweater and a pair of grimy black pants. Freddy Krueger with his own blades of glory went on to ...
Pros: Scary, Robert Englund, great concept, some cool kills, Wes Craven Cons: The ending
What’s everyone’s favorite hobby? Sleeping, of course, but how would you feel if a guy with a glove of knives wanted to kill you brutally and that the only way he could do that was through your dreams? It would frighten you, wouldn’t it? Wes Craven knew t ...
Pros: well-timed shocks, atmospheric, better characterisation than most of its genre Cons: melodramatic, depressing, I think I've seen it too many times
If there was one Horror movie icon that ruled the roost in the 1980's it was undoubtedly Freddy Krueger, the evil long dead child-murderer who haunts the nightmares of the teenagers of Suburban Elm Street, and literally kills them in their sleep. Of ...
Pros: Interesting plot idea, some scary moments Cons: Cheesy, badly acted, horrible score, poor direction
In a sort of mellowing out mood, and eager for a scare I decided to rent this famous horror classic. I've never been a big fan of those sort of cult horror icons, but I figured the original would have something to offer, there must be something worth ...
Nancy is having nightmares about a frightening, badly-scarred figure who wears a glove with razor-sharp finger knives . She soon discovers that her fr...More at Buy.com
