For those who can't be arsed, they're making a new Nightmare on Elm Street...without Robert Englund...with Earle Haley - Rorschach from Watchmen...and they're making Freddy serious. WTF?

Because I'm a big girl's fanny when it comes to horror films.

Freddy is MEANT to be serious
he's a child molesting murderer. He's not cuddly. It will still be a shit film though. The only decent nightmare is New Nightmare.

Granted he only became more cuddly and a caricature of himself as the films went on
but to make a new one with a different person playing Freddy, no matter how good he is, just seems a bit wrong. Did they learn nothing from the new Friday the 13th film? Utter cack.

God I loved new nightmare

The thing is though
the old Friday 13th films were also crap. They were all very bad films, but if you watch them all, you sort of amalgamate them in your head into one half decent horror, but they are generally not good.

Oh I agree, my reasoning behind comparing the two is that they were the two big horror saga's of the 80s
that are now going through a revival. It's just a shame they didn't leave them the hell alone.

But they have potential
that wasn't actually realised. None of the original Nightmare films were that scary, but the concept is terrifying. A man who kills you in your dreams, that's a scary thought. But due to low budgets it wasn't well executed and then it was destroyed by sequels.

Actually, Friday has far less potential as it's just a generic slasher pic. I thought Jason X was really funny and an excellent way of making a jumpy horror film which was also funny.

They're also remaking An American Werewolf in That There London
It'll be shit.

I didn't rate the original that highly anyway, but I haven't seen it since I was a kid

I rather enjoyed Crank
I'm looking forward to seeing Crank 2.

I didn't say I wasn't enjoying it....

It's probably my favourite horror movie ever.
I just love the humour and Englishness of it.

Plus it's got a whole last reel set in a porno cinema. What's not to like?

My mum walking in on me and my mate watching it, aged 8 while the main character's a bit nekkid.
