May I mention how insanely cheap the "Nightmare Collection" DVD set is now? I mean, why isn't it in the $50 dollar range? An 8 disc set which has the exclusive Nightmare Encyclopedia disc. I think I know one of the things I want to get soon since it is cheap. |

Having the day off after my AM appointment at the eye doctor I sat down today and watched A Nightmare On Elm Street 3 - Dream Warriors(1987) and A Nightmare On Elm Street 4 - The Dream Master(1988). I liked the story line and characters in the third installment better but I preferred the creativity, and special effects, of Freddy's kills in the fourth film. My favorite kill among the two films: seeing the female who hated bugs turned into a cockroach by Freddy.  Matthew, you like the third or fourth ANOES film better and why?

The close quarters combat scenes between Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees in the 2003 film Freddy Vs Jason: Damn good fights.

It's prety nice, but it could have been better. I would have loved to see Freddy do something with Jason that was in the same vein as what the first death in ANOES3 was (talk about mater of puppets, eh?) |

I've been working my way through the ANOES box I bought very cheaply about a month ago. This is what I thought A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET Just about deserves it's classic status, still pretty scary and effective, quite restrained on effects, and the dream scenes don't take over. Tails off a bit towards the end though 8/10 PART 2 Not quite as bad as people say, with the best Freddy make up, but doesn't make any sense, has a weak ending, and am I the only one who has a dirty mind and picked up a gay subtext? 5/10 PART 3 I probably found this one the most enjoyable, fast paced, exciting, packed with creative ideas especially deaths, a bit funny, and a bit scary. Balanced it all really well 8/10 PART 4 Found this one too light to create any fear and it didn't even have much suspense for me, some great ideas though and really surreal in parts [the man turned into beetle death] 6/10 PART 5 Quite dark and morbid, mixed with some humour, an odd balance but generally worked well .Sadly the DVD is cut in a couple of places, I should have kept my video! 7/10 PART 6 This one, for me, had too much dream footage,meaning the dreams had little impact and tension was rather low. Fun though. I remember seeing the end of this in 3D on video and the 3D was rubbish! 6/10 PART 7 The cleverest of the series and actually pretty bloody scary, my wife was watching these with me and she couldn't carry watching this one! Slower, but builds suspense really well. Maybe the best? 9/10 FREDDY VS JASON Seemed to rehash a lot from earlier Nightmare films, and in some respects is more of a Jason film [loved the rave sequence!]. The battle though is enormous fun 7/10 |

Nope, I also picked it up and I also gave ANOES 2 a 5/10.
It's good to see someone else give Freddy's Dead a 6/10, IMO it's the most underrated ANOES movie. 
Personally, I disliked the rave scene in FvsJ... but I did like it more then the Party scene from ANOES 2.

You must have expected the film to be blasted...because this review, if I read it right, labels the ANOES remake as being mediocre.

Mediocre is between good and bad. I want this thing torn down brick by brick. The only thing good about it is Jackie Earl Haley playing Krueger. Other than that, this should be the next GINO. |
