Nov 30, 2024 A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child OVERALL RATING: 5/10 This movie strays even further away from what I liked about the first movie. Instead of being creepy and scary it leans even more into the disgusting, humorous (yet unfunny), and weird s--- than ever before. The lore is starting to become convoluted and nonsensical. There’s a lot of moments in the film, especially the first act, where I got bored and couldn’t wait for it to be over. The whole element of the main character struggling to get everyone to believe her even when people should clearly believe her is just getting old at this point. At least the film still had some of that signature creativity left in it. The comic book s--- was cool. The ending battle was cool. The creativity stops this film from being bad, but it is still very mediocre. At least I got a bit of entertainment out of it I guess. I had a feeling it would be this way which is why I took so long to finally watch it. I’m not looking forward to watching the rest of this franchise but at least there’s not many movies left.
Dec 1, 2024 Yeah idk how they will top the first movie. The third was close imo. But I just need to watch Freddy’s Dead first and then I’ll be on New Nightmare. Then I’ll basically only have the remake left. I know Freddy vs Jason is technically part of the series but I’m waiting for my Friday the 13th marathon to watch that as I’ve already seen it before
Dec 1, 2024 Putting the first above it is no problem for me (its a classic) but every one after the first is not close to NN to me. Hope @Ripper Roo is in for a treat as well!
Dec 1, 2024 Just finished Chucky season 1. Got mixed feelings tbh. It started out really cool, and I liked the 'new' characters (Jake/Lexy). Chucky trying to turn people into killers was fun. Then it was also great to see the movie storyline being picked up with Tiffany, Nica and Andy returning. And the throwback stuff leading up to the first movie was nice as well. But the whole army of chucky's just didn't do it for me. And Nica being possessed and later herself again. Nice acting from Fiona Dourif but kinda lame. Her ending (this season) also stupid lol. It was fun mostly, but not sure if this will get any better with an army and all the different chucky's. 6.7/10
Dec 1, 2024 Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare OVERALL RATING: 2/10!!!!!!! Buckle up ladies and gentlemen (who am I kidding, it’s just men here, all the women left the forum) and grab your popcorn because Ripper Roo is about to go on yet another: ABSOLUTE, UNMITIGATED, LEGENDARY RANT!!!!!!!!!! @Minato you said you liked my rants so you might wanna read this. This movie sent me into a downward spiral of irritation, frustration, and rage!!! The film somehow got worse as it went on!!! What a f---ing joke!!! Seriously, this movie is a complete parody of the franchise!! Suspension of disbelief is IMPOSSIBLE. Nearly everything that made the first few movies good is gone. Freddy has went from a mysterious, creepy threat to borderline comic relief. In this movie he is a weird, unfunny, idiotic loser!! His makeup looks like s--- in this movie and the special effects are TERRIBLE! The plot is nonsensical and Maggie being his daughter is contrived bs! Not to mention there’s so many times in this movie where it feels like a rehash of the past movies. Even the ending of pulling Freddy into the real world is a rehash of the first movie. Why did he fall for this trick a second time? What a dumbass!!! Most of these new characters are unlikable, forgettable, boring stereotypes. I don’t give a s--- about any of these characters dying. The only good part of the movie is the video game section. I removed a point for the Power Glove mention though. The intro of the movie is so stupid with the dude endlessly rolling down a hill while it’s super clear the stuntman is forcing himself to roll down the hill. The ending of the movie sucks and further cements Freddy as a f---ing CLOWN! What a dumb final line from him! How ironic that a clown showed up earlier in the movie! Going into Freddy’s memories could’ve been cool if it wasn’t for that weird “daddy” s---. The “dream people” angle is so stupid, they look laughable. The only redeemable part about this movie is that Maggie’s actress was kinda hot. At this point I’m so angry that I’ve lost my train of thought and can’t remember if there was anything else I wanted to say about this movie. If there wasn’t only 2 movies left I’d be absolutely done with this franchise. Here’s a big f--- YOU to everybody that made this s-----y movie. EAT MY d-ck!!!!
Dec 1, 2024 Even though Freddy’s Dead pissed me off I am still looking forward to New Nightmare as you think it’s good and other online reviews I’ve seen seem to agree with that. And then I have my one friend who recommended the remake to me a while ago so I’m actually looking forward to both of these next two movies
Dec 1, 2024 Hope you like both! I think the remake is kinda a--- because imo nobody else can play Freddy like Robert Englund does.
Dec 1, 2024 Freddy’s Dead being the movie before New Nightmare is probably the best example of “coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb” in horror
Dec 1, 2024 Peacock in the US, not sure about across the ocean Really really love it, top tier Freddy once again and Spoiler: Spoiler Heather coming back to play herself and also Nancy is great. Amazing Freddy design with the trench coat and bone gloves! Freddy is actually scary and cool again in this one. This movie was 1000% testing grounds for Scream. The jump in quality between FD and NN in every single category is mind boggling, @Ripper Roo you might get whiplash from how much better NN is than FD
