oh i get it. ANOES. duh....
urban legonds all be it not the best movie but a good idea. robert englund plays a prof in the posh school that the noxemia girl goes to and kills at. he is in a few secnes but not many, he does die in it. but i don't even think you see the death. altho, his character plays in intercate role in the past mass murder at the university and brings another story line to the movie.
python, i really liked. it sucks but for some reasion i liked it. bad effects, poor acting makes for a good watch.

A Nightmare on Elm Street was a great, original idea. It's probably the best plot Wes Craven has ever put to script. A dream stalker without fear or mercy who cannot be stopped....terrorizing the most vulnerable of people, kids. I think it's one of the best horror flicks of the eighties....and probably the best slasher flick of all time.
A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 wasn't as good but was still a great horror flick. They changed it up alot, having Freddy possess Jessie to kill.....which differentiated it from the first movie. They did not simply apply the same formula from the first movie to make a carbon copy sequel lacking creativity or plot. They did not take the cheap way out which would have resulted in a cheap schlock sequel the horror industry is notorious for. A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 was it's own movie.....you could watch, enjoy and understand all the events and plot of the movie without ever having seen the first one. It was a stand alone movie.
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3-6 .........here's where the trouble began. No longer is our beloved Freddy Krueger a horrible child killing maniac without mercy or fear......he now enjoys putting on a comedic show. We get one liners......jokes.......and even funny deaths. Dream Warriors introduced the plot device that they copied for the rest of the films that killed the series.......and that plot device was ironic deaths. The guy who makes marionettes get's turned into a marionette himself to be killed. The girl who watches too much tv and wants to be an actress herself gets killed by a tv. This carries on through the rest of the series......showing no creativity, no innovation, no attention to plot....just no attention to anything. These movies were all cliche horror shclock sequels made to cash in on the fame of the name Freddy Krueger. The original Freddy Krueger, the dark maniacal madman killing machine from the first two flicks never makes an appearance in any of these films. Instead we're treated to a prankster who's going to kill Carlos with a hearing aid making his hearing super sensative because he's deaf......or kill Rick in a kung-fu fight in a dojo because Rick likes martial arts. Somehow I don't think the original movie would have been the same if Nancy watched soap operas so Freddy pulls her into the tv and kills her in a soap opera.
New Nightmare.........too little too late. Series was over. Nobody cared. It was a great attempt by Craven to salvage his creation from the destruction of New Line, alas the challange was unsurmountable. It was the only innovative film in the series other than part 2........but the only innovation Craven could come up with to use that dark character from the first and second movie was to put him in the real world, outside the realm of those 3 cheesy sequels New Line used to kill him......which didn't really work.
ITS SO OBVIOUS THEY'RE GONNA MAKE ANOTHER ONE I MEAN DID U C THE ENDING OF FREDDY VS. JASON THEY MIGHT EVEN MAKE A FREDDY VS. JASON 2 BUT I DON'T THINK IT'LL WORK COZ IF THEY DIDN'T KILL EACHOTHER IN THAT ONE THEN THEY'RE NEVER GONNA KILL EACHOTHER. THEY MIGHT EVEN DO SUMMIT LIKE FREDDY AND MICHAEL MYERS VS. JASON AND SCREAM MAN NEXT NOWIN THEM. THOUGH IT WOULD MAKE A GUD COMEDY
