Yes, seriously. Anyway, Nancy um, I mean Heather is having nightmares and prank calls featuring Mr. Krueger, and after meeting with Wes Craven (yes, inside the actual movie), she realizes that Freddy is some ancient being who can be easily distracted by watching slasher movies, so they should make another one before he takes over the world. And that's the movie we have here. Maybe. It is an interesting take on Freddy to make him more of an eldrich evil rather than a vengeful ghoul, though it seems given the revelation of his true nature it seems he is defeated way too easily. You should need fucking Doctor Strange to deal with someone like this, not just randomly stabbing him a few times and pushing him into an incinerator. It is always good to try new things, particularly in the excruciatingly formulaic slasher genre, and this deserves props for the attempt I guess? However, the scenario is silly and way, way too meta, and seems more like an excuse for Wes and everyone to shamelessly insert themselves into their own series. Should just stick with the old nightmare. Scarlet - I appreciate the creativity at play here from ol Wes, breaking down the fourth wall in order to breathe new life into a stale product. But its still a slasher, it still looks like low-budget garbage, and I still judge people who think this is entertainment. Rating: 24/100 Inviso - I really did want to appreciate this film for how meta it was, but then its almost two hours long, and the plot was stretched EXTREMELY thin, to the point where it became outright lame. The little kid actor is fucking annoying in literally every second of the film, and I kinda wish hed been murdered early on to facilitate the plot. But yeah, the main actress from the original Nightmare on Elm Street starts having nightmares and premonitions related to Freddy Kreuger, and it turns out that hes being manifested into the real world. Thats an interesting concept (and like I said, very meta like some of Cravens later works.) Buttheres this weird, supernatural element, and the film isnt quite hokey enough to match the fore factor of the original films. Oh! And can I just say that Freddy himself looks absolutely terrible in this? It looks like the studio cheaped out and bought a visible man mask, and thats all they bothered dealing with. Ultimately, the concept was interesting, but it lacked ANY real bite to it. --- Listen, suffering is a fact of life. Either you learn how to deal with that or you go under. https://i.imgtc.ws/2Q88rI4.gif <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:924260365] in Gauntlet C...
