Jennifer Rubin survives a free-love cult's mass suicide only to be stalked Freddy-Krueger style by Richard Lynch. Sound like fun? Check out the trailer:

In 1984, Wes Craven introduced the world to Freddy Krueger, and horror movies were never quite the same again. In 1985, " A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge " came out, pushing Krueger into the realm of household word and horror icon.

Such an odd, odd movie--I'd actually forgotten how bizarre it is but I've been freshly reminded once again! I've seen the whole "film within a film" concept done a bunch of times but never quite like this where it seriously alters the entire series before it, and I'm honestly not too sure what I think about it. Is it clever at times? Yeah, it has its moments. Are there half decent scares? A few here and there. The big question I have to ask though, after all is said and done is: what was the point?

"1...2... Freddy's coming for you..." The 3rd instalment in this series ended up being the last really good one until Wes Craven would return for the meta before it was meta 'New Nightmare' nearly a decade later. Freddy Krueger was still scary, and hadn't become a caricature of himself yet. The filmmakers were still clearly passionate about the franchise and spent the effort on high production values, and effects. And the acting was overall quite good, attracting some pretty half decent names--Laurence Fishburne, Patricia Arquette, and the returning Heather Langencamp from the first. It's not as great as the original but for me this is the next best one of the whole series.

Shawn: As the Halloween season approaches...starting about mid September for me...haha...I go through an INSANE amount of horror movies . But there are five that are a "must view" for the season. They aren't necessarily a "Top 5" ...but MUST SEE 5: (5) I always start with Ghostbusters. A couple of weeks away from Halloween. Just the opening bit is enough to evoke the spirit of Halloween. It is iconic, recognizable and fun. It is also, a "light" start to the season. Who am I kidding, I start in August...haha. (4) Just because of a tradition I started with one of my boys, Arachnophobia is another light beginning to the festive season of doom, death and scares...haha. (3) Children of the Corn . What is there to say about this? To me, it is to Halloween as the Rudolf claymation animation is to Christmas! No Joke! (2) Diving into the nitty gritty of it, The Shining always makes an appearance. Even if I don't watch the ...

Hey there, folks!  Mike S popping in again with some more movie goodness! You're probably looking at the photo above, and thinking that there's a new big budget " Nightmare on Elm Street " soon to hit theatres, right? Well, you'd be partially correct.  The above picture IS from a " Nightmare on Elm Street " project in the works- but it's not being done on a big budget... or by one of the big Hollywood studios. No, this particular movie- titled " Son of a Hundred Maniacs " is a prequel being made by Director Andrew Daniels- a fan of the franchise, and was inspired to make his own installment in the saga.  That's right, " Son of a Hundred Maniacs " is a FAN made movie. The fact that it's "fan made" is one of the complaints that have been tossed about in regards to this project.  The way I see it is that all film makers are movie fans that were inspired to make their own movie... so most movies can be c...

Basement contributor Matt Bellamy has taken it upon himself to watch and review at least one horror movie a day for the month of October . . . because he's awesome that way! And Bellamy better watch out, because tonight it's "One, two, Freddy's coming for you!" Yeah right, as if I would have the remake on here, that would be a good joke! This has become a classic over the years and Freddy Krueger is no doubt one of, if not the most, iconic horror villains of all time. Not a bad reputation to have as an actor and Robert Englund probably never dreamed (ha ha) his career would pan out that way but he seems to relish every moment as Freddy both on and off the screen. Wes Craven knocked this film out of the park, on a relatively low budget it looks anything but with some fairly groundbreaking effects and superb makeup, even today it still looks damn good and is as creepy as ever! I could go over the basic story prem...

Slick production values and a capable new incarnation of Freddy Krueger in the form of Jackie Earle Haley can't save this otherwise flat, boring remake Wes Craven's 1984 classic. A prime example of if it ain't broke, don't fix it. What was once a creepy, campy, low-budget excursion into slasher-horror has become just another Hollywood product void of fun, energy and, sadly, scares. Rooney Mara may look good, but her Nancy lacks any of the charm Heather Langenkamp brought to the role. The other characters are just as lifeless as the corpses Freddy leaves in his wake.
