good idea
Of course, the Nightmare sequels were as much schlock and bad comedy as horror. But the original was really terrifying.Freddy looks like a nice guy with his Bill Cosby sweater and Indiana Jones hat. I'd be more afraid of Cosby.
His pizza face just makes me hungry.
I think that's why the sequels became horror comedies like the Chucky films. People just want to laugh and watch those guys kill stupid naked kids.
Is important to point out that the creator had nothing to do with the sequels so it wasnt his vision anymore.
The sequels were influenced by mtv and by the young fanbase. ( Robocop 3 faced the same problem) the studio realized how young people embraced freddy and changed the style of the movies accordingly.
Well sure a filmmaker might "succeed" in creating something that *they* like but so what if no one else does. George Lucas made AOTC exactly the way he wanted to but what difference does that make to anyone but him?
Some people liked DP and some people didn't but stating "well the character was presented in the exact way that they intended" isn't really relevant when discussing the film's merit. It doesn't matter if a good movie is a happy accident or 100% someone's specific vision realized on screen, all that matters is if it *is* good or not. At least in discussions like this anyway.
The creator, Wes Craven, wrote part three.
Freddy/Jason/Myers were never scary.
Only The Shape (not Myers) from Halloween 1 and Pamela Voorhees from Friday 13th were well crafted.
Depps greatest acting moment? Being liquefied on a ceiling.
Never scared of things either, but the kid in the corner of Blair Witch was creepy. Me and wife would do that to each other for several weeks after that in our basement.
See now because I let the hype get to me BW on opening night in 99 (sheesh) scared me as did Paranormal Activity.
Invisible ghosts and witchcraft scare me more than slasher guys.
Exorcist scared dafuq out of me as a kid though, that movie is messed up at all kinds of levels lol.
Nightmare 1 was good for doing something new but for me it's only good enough to be a pimple on the ass of The Exorcist.
Ever since I was a kid I've found that some of the scariest killers in movies are the ones who just stand there saying nothing. It probably all goes back to watching the original Halloween when I was way too young. But The Shape really freaked me out, even when standing there in that dorky ghost getup with the sheet and glasses on. Also movies like the original The Fog. People just standing quietly in the dark, in the fog, get that **** away from me.
The recent "We Are Still Here" did have some of that in the beginning before ultimately going wildly off the rails. Going down into a dark basement and just seeing shapes standing there looking at you. Nope, I'm out!
exorcist is just a little girl throwing up on herself with basically tourette syndrome .
why are you afraid of a tiny weak little kid yelling obscenities jye? you could take her out with one punch
