This is by no means a problem specific to the horror genre, but what is up with the tide of remakes and rehashed character treatments?

Whatever happened to orginal thinking in filmmaking??!?!?


Hollywood feels they'll make more money with remakes and never ending franchises. Unfortunately they just wind up ruining everything.

I find it interesting that on Yahoo! the average critic's grade for the movie is a C and the avergae user's grade is an A-.



That's usually the case.

I have a lot of complaints about this movie, but I don't regret seeing it in the theater. It was a like a tradition.

You think 4 was the best? No way in my opinion. The first was the best, then the second, third, and so on.

I just saw the movie. While I can't say it was great, it was somewhat fun, I have to admit.

A lot of people don't like the second one, but I thought it was awesome. It was real dark and fucked up. When Freddy stabbed that fat kid by the pool, I was like "Oh shit!" That was a vicious shot. Freddy was one evil mo fo in that movie. That's the freddy they should have kept throughout the series. No silly jokes, just pure sinister evil.

The first quarter of it was a travesty in filmmaking.

You gotta understand, I write and direct so I'm naturally gonna be overly critical of shit. But it just annoys me cuz I grew up on these movies and I just had to watch each sequel get dumber and dumber. It's like someone taking a Picasso and painting extra features on it cuz it seems cool.

Well, Freddy basically tells his story directly to the audience. God how dumb. There was too much explaining in this movie. Just let the story explain itself without everyone giving it away verbally.

Remind me not to work with you in the future then hrmph wink


I think the movie was meant to be a FUN, scarey, gore filled movie not anything else...I mean, besides the conflictng reviews btwn me and you Evil, lets face the facts, it's still gonna make a good piece of money! nod

I know it was meant to be fun, gory, action packed, funny, etc. Bit that's what I hate about it. The movie would have made just as much money if they kept it serious and with a good script. It didn't have to be DUMB.

Evil, I generally have to side with you here. But I think you set yourself up a bit more than me to be let down. Both these franchises have been irreparably dumb for over a decade.

Question, EWM, would this movie have looked like if it were "good," in your opinion.(i.e., if you were hired to write, produce and direct)

I totally agree, and I didn't expect a masterpiece before entering the theater. But it still bothers me when a classic character and concept is constantly being destroyed.

Are you asking what it would be like, or would it be good?

I'm asking what it would be like if you had carte blanche to do whatever you wanted.

I didn't expect much from it 2 tell u the truth... They just don't know how 2 make scary movies anymore,whatever happened 2 the real scary movies, I'm mad at the simple fact they turned Freddy in2 a comedian when he was originally supposed 2 be a evil spirit coming back in revenge, boy did the movie makers screw that up next thing you know , Freddy will be making friends with some of the people he was originally trying 2 seek revenge on, if they keep the comedy thing up. I want to see a real horror flick, if I wanted comedy I would go see Jay and Silent bob ... mad
