Posts from “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” if you’ve seen it, what are your thoughts on it?

I don't like horror movies... there's nothing to watch there. IMHO. Especially the old ones, which could now pass for comedies... (although, when my cousin and another guy come over, any movie becomes a comedy, even if it was tragic))) it's just fun.
And if you want special effects and the like (which are in the new ones), it's better to watch superhero movies, fantasy, or action movies (and so on)... (although I don't like the latter either and don't watch them)...

P.S. I haven't watched any Freddy movies... maybe a little bit... I don't remember anymore... they showed them a long time ago... I didn't find anything interesting in him, just like in other similar movies... as well as in action movies, in general. There's no meaningful content, it doesn't teach anything, and it doesn't bring any pleasure... it's just boring.

It's unlikely that you can judge how scary a movie is completely objectively. If you watch Freddy Krueger on TV through an old CRT TV, where there are ads everywhere, the sound quality is terrible, and the TV is usually not turned up as loud as you'd like, then you're in for a viewing experience with a few exciting moments, but nothing truly terrifying.

Ugh, I never watch movies like that. It's just creepy to watch horror movies on TV.

If, on the other hand, you take a more or less modern movie (like the aforementioned "The Ring"), sit in front of a huge plasma TV on a couch, surrounded by a $10,000 home theater system turned up loud (loud enough to make the neighbors' chandeliers shake, although you can turn it down a bit), then I can guarantee that watching it will give you more pleasure than watching the same movie in a regular movie theater. Of course, the first case is too pathetic, and the second is utopian, but you still need to understand that the viewing conditions can play a bad joke on a truly scary movie, turning it into just a beautiful production.

Ah, but I do watch them. I turn on my LCD TV, the home theater system, and mostly watch horror movies and movies I watched as a child. No, of course, I also like "The Ring" and many other new movies, but in terms of plot, the classics are better because they are not as formulaic as modern ones. I just get sick when almost all new horror movies are the same: a creepy, scary maniac, a group of people in some deserted place, and he chases them and eventually kills them all. It's just annoying!
Ah, but "Nightmare on Elm Street" always has a good plot, and what kind of tricks does Freddy pull off:D... Especially in the sixth one, where he initially portrayed the witch from "The Wizard of Oz" (for Americans, it's called that:D), and then how he killed that deaf guy:D, although the way he killed in the game was the funniest:D.
I'm being honest, watching old favorite horror movies like "Nightmare on Elm Street," "Tales from the Crypt," or "Night of the Demons" is just a pleasure:). And all with the same good quality and sound)) Yes, I watch these kinds of movies, so don't throw popcorn and slippers at me:D.
P.S. And "The Ring" isn't scary at all, it's just mesmerizing:D.

From the “horror movies,” I liked “Gremlins” the most, although calling them horror movies is a bit of a stretch.
I still remember how unpleasant it was for the Easter bunny in… the second part, I think? Anyone who watched it probably won’t forget it:)

Otherwise, as I already said (commented in the forum?), I don’t like this genre; it’s too predictable and limited, just like low-budget thrillers.
I’d rather watch “Final Destination.”

Of all the "horror movies," I liked "Gremlins" the most, although it's a stretch to call it a horror movie.
I still remember how unpleasant it was for the Easter bunny in... the second part, I think? Anyone who's seen it probably won't forget it:)

I always thought it was a comedy.

Yeah, classics are worthless, they don't carry any meaning, they don't teach anything, it's nonsense, etc., but "Final Destination" is a great movie... Well, you're really giving the country a hard time, comrades...)
And I like Freddy... Precisely because, half my life ago, he was... terrifying. Not all films in this series are like that, but some are. The first "Evil Dead" is also terrifying. These films were good in their time, and they shouldn't be judged by modern standards.

Sandro, I would call literature a classic, not a film, which is full of plastic props and is considered one because, at that time, there weren't any "horror" movies yet, and this series became one of the first.

Ah, so that's what you're watching. Turn on your TV, home theater, and mostly watch horror movies and films that you watched as a child.

I don't have a home theater, and I don't have a fountain either.

depicted the witch from "The Wizard of Oz" (for Americans, it's called that)

It's not surprising that they have their own name, because it was an American who wrote this book. P.S. Yes, "Final Destination" is an excellent film.

I actually like Freddy... Precisely because, back in the day, he was... terrifying. Not all films in the series are like that, but some are.

And, especially back then, I found the third and fourth ones particularly scary.

Also, the first "Evil Dead" is pretty scary too. These films were good in their time, and they shouldn't be judged by modern standards.

Yeah, "Evil Dead" is awesome, all three parts, although the third one is the best :D. And indeed, these films shouldn't be judged by modern standards.

I would call literature a classic, not a film filled with plastic guts, which is considered a classic simply because, at the time, there weren't many "horror" films, and the series became one of the first.

Well, many people (including me :D) also call old horror films classics. Because both classic literature and classic films are unique :D.
P.S.: We should all chip in and buy Locke a home theater, a fountain, and a collection of all the Freddy films :D...

There are supposedly 18 parts, or am I mistaken?
I saw the first one and two others. It was a long time ago, though.
The only thing I remember:
A girl wandered around in some kind of large brain :D
Krueger turned into a nurse and lured a boy into bed, then tied him to the bed and drowned him.

And Johnny Depp is also filming there. It's almost his first role! And Kruger is a creepy and unpleasant guy.

The remake will be released in 2010, featuring an excellent actor in the lead role.

Freddy Krueger from "A Nightmare on Elm Street" continued to haunt me in the dark corners of the street for a long time after I watched the movie, and it was also scary to be alone at home. I always turned on the lights in all the rooms and locked the doors until someone from the adults came home and calmed my shaken psyche.
