Steve9347 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 (edited) New Nightmare is f***ing awesome. If you don't like that, then you're really trying to not like it. It was well done. Disclaimer: I never see horror remakes and was dragged to it. It's awesome. Edited May 1, 2010 by Steve9347 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont why people let a review decide if they are going to see a movie or not.. how are you gonna let someone else tell you if you like something or not? Just go see it for yourself.. But yeah Steve, I thought it was awesome too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is what he likes or doesn't like. If he doesn't ike something about a movie that I usually like, I'll see it whatever grade it gets. I liked Craven version so much that I don't have any interest in racing and seeing the remake. I don't get why it was made besides money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they did a good job of establishing the story, and unlike other horror remakes there was a lot more to this film than just a gore fest.. which, it wasn't even really much of that either..

If 90% of film critics crap on a movie, chances are it probably sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 Horror movies - especially remakes - never get good reviews from critics by and large. Critics are people who see so many films that they need to be stimulated by a new idea in order to like something; not necessarily just entertained like the majority of movie-goers.

I recently watched all seven in the nightmare on elm street series in two days. Dream warriors (third one) is the one in which the ball really gets rolling humor wise. New nightmare (the seventh) is pretty damn awesome as far as i'm concerned, though there are people who hate it. I'm convinced they do not understand what wes craven was intending. Anyway i'm gonna put on motel hell now... i will be disappointed if you have not seen it flash. Edited May 3, 2010 by qwerty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Fraser was pretty good in Crash, and I have heard good things about Gods and Monsters as well. He picks and chooses his drama roles, then bankrolls himself with silly crap that kids will go see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was fine in Encino Man and Air Heads as well because the roles suited his relative lack of acting ability. And he was good in the first Mummy film because it was fun and campy on purpose. I I also liked Monkeybone because it was a quirky film, but Fraser was not all that good in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
