 Hey guys, late review here just reviewed nightmare on Elm Street with my friend and boss Mark Who is a major horror fan in fact this movie? Came out on your birthday. Well in my birthday or birthday and it's top five favorite films of all time The first one my sequels are crap. I have never seen any of the nightmare on Elm Street movies in fact my only real Actual nightmare on Elm Street, let alone Jason experience is Freddy versus Jason. Which is I also love that movie If you watch anything that I make there's always a reference to Freddy versus Jason because that movie is delightfully terrible and I knew I know already through a lot of references a lot of kind of homages both in and jokes and television shows all sorts and I kind of really wish you both made a point about it during this movie When we were watching it that we didn't know because the thing that this movie does Exceptionally well, it's not telling us who Freddy is the first murder Happens and we have no idea who he is Other than the fact that he's a guy who's haunting these kids streets. No motive You know, I don't think his name except in the girls nursery rhyme. Yeah early on until Way later, you don't hear Krueger until like Well passed halfway through the movie. Well, yeah, no, that was something that was Quite interesting is we didn't really find out who Krueger was until about three quarters of the way through the film And I found this was like the slasher version the horror TV slasher version of alien Because of how Krueger is shot. You really never see him in full light You're always seeing him in the shadows. He doesn't say much. He has some comedic moments here and there But in terms of what he became he was much he was really scary in this film Well, that's funny because I as a kid I didn't know Freddy Krueger was a first time I watched this movie I was for I always say bad parenting aside my parents pretty much let me watch whatever I watched when I was four years Old I called Freddy Krueger Freddy nightmare that was the only name I had for him until I was like 13 and people would talk about Krueger like my older friends I'd be like no, no, it's a different guy like I had no idea because The name didn't mean much in that movie. He doesn't know him as Freddy and he was so scary and yeah He becomes kind of comedic later, but this first one He's just it's just a horror movie and he's truly terrifying in it. I love it He doesn't say his classic bitch line, which is what I was kind of hoping for but I actually like that. He didn't do that Again for a low this was a low-budget horror film that you said that it's what's it did that documentary you watch It's the never sleep again. They call it the house that Freddy built No, I was gonna go bankrupt and this movie saved it and led on to them being able to do movies like Lord of the Rings It's just crazy when you think that a horror film Pretty much save the cup the production company or the production That would make one of the best fantasy films of all time, which is really like that's like you wouldn't connect it Yeah, no If you were to say that if you told West Craven that was what was gonna happen He's not really probably asked for more money and this would be his Johnny Depp. Yeah It doesn't die as early as I thought he did. Yeah He's a I guess he's the last kill in the movie. Well the mother the mother if the mother the mother dies Comes back and then dies. Yeah, so she gets suck vacuum like through the window. This is still a weird I think I can't I don't know what I don't know what to say with the end of it because it's so weird Yeah, that's the only thing I will say about this film is it's a solid film It's got really good jumpscares. The music is 80s a hole. Oh, what was it the crop tops? You know guys wore crop tops in the 80s everything is great about the movie until the ending Which it's only a bite of product because you said that in the documentary that They didn't know how to end it. They talked about how they didn't really know it ended I think Bob Shay the producer gay runs new line came up with this ending was like, oh, yeah I do this thing with the car and the little roof will close on it and love The mom died again all be a dream again and you watch is what the fuck just happened Well, yeah, because when they come out the door with her mother I'm like wait a minute was it a dream the whole time like the amount of inception When we were watching this every time there was a dream thought I just got on saying Actually, it's funny because they do like the 80s synth Q and like some of them are very like bass note Early the Zimmer was watching I was watching this movie when he thought thought of the the inception dream noise Oh, but it's funny because you said though. Well, this was the end of the trilogy like there is Halloween in the 70s Jason in the Friday came in 1980 or 81 and then this was the Freddy was the third and Even though it still was standing on the pillar of those two films or sorry. It was standing in the shadow of those two It still was able to bring something creative the idea of hunting something in your dreams the scariest part for me is that Being something affecting your dreams like their bed being the safe place Every movie like everything when you're a kid That's what you do you run to your bed you get under the covers and I love that the first kill happens She pulls the blanket over top of her while she's thrashing. It's her safe space and that's Right where he gets her and I'm like that that as a kid that bothers that torment I have nightmares for a Decade because of Freddy Krueger because I've been attacking your dreams. I think it was Fox Don't call me. I think it's one of the Fox execs told West Craven that No one would be scared of their dreams and so that's why Fox didn't pick up the movie. I Assume he was the mentor or the same guy who canceled firefly family guy twice Well, it's the thing that that first murder the first kill of the movie is terrifying because First she's here stomach at slash and then she's against the wall and she's going all spider legs up against the ceiling I was like, holy shit. I did not expect that and That's the thing that this movie did is it surprised me Like constantly every time there was a few like cheesy jump scares But there's even funny jump scares like when the tongue. Yeah, I'm your boyfriend now That was funny. There's actually some good communicable moments in this film the one the thing that I it's Obviously it was a little budget and obviously these actors weren't like seasoned because there's some really Bland-ass line delivery, especially with what's out God? Who's the boyfriend of the girl who? Oh? Rick Todd Todd Todd something. I think I don't know was it no the source taught her boyfriend I mean I should know it's a Mexican guy playing Italian dude though He actually changed his name in the credit. Oh my god. His uh, yeah, because they thought Mexican's in your work, so He changed his name to something Italian sounding play that character Well, like when he grabs her by the mouth and he like pulls her into the bush like I didn't kill her But the dialogue is so Landly delivered and the cock comes up, right bud. We've got you come of us. You have to catch me man Honestly even Lange and camp who like she's horror royalty So like I feel like I shouldn't even say this But some of her lines like when she's talking to her one. Oh, she's supposed to be tired and lethargic or whatever, but like She's so deadpan when she's delivering them Just like but you buy it's independent. It's horror. It's it's whatever it was and you just kind of go Oh, yeah, for the watch away shooting your films only for the amount of issues this film with these tight budget that they went through and then Basically the franchise they would create because of it is Monumental seven I think seven real in-canon films Freddie Berserjie's and being kind of outer and then the god-awful remake There's a lot of effects in this film that are done practical like the rubber wall He's coming through the rubble. That's one of this definitely one of the scariest love that moment This movie scary it instills scary in some ways Oh when she's going up the stairs and she's sinking the stairs I've had that nightmare before And yeah, no, there's a lot of relatable things. It's good horror good practical effects It's it definitely is a classic 80s movie and I don't know I think it's it's still the test of time in some ways obviously the some of the Visual some of the acting is a bit very dated, but in terms of how it is. I feel that it's it's It's a classic for sure. I think it's the perfect example why practical is real because practical I mean it yeah it looks dated now, but I mean in 84 that must have looked great Like that must have been awesome and like you look at all those practical effects And you go to 2010 which is all this new fangirl technology and they put CG for everything Well, you're talking about the scenery comes through the wall. It's all CG and it looks like do you remember the Frightoners? Oh, that was that ghost is Through the wall like that's what it looks like in the remake and it's terrible like it looks bad for 2010 I'm sure if we watch it in 2017 it'll look way worse. I'll make fun of it considering that it's it's all like they used Elastic a rubber. Yeah, that's it. Like that's all they used and it looks Terrifying a bit. It probably was a little weird for Robert. I'm going to be like pushing Reminds me of when Ace Ventura was coming out of Yeah Ace Ventura too. Oh, it's one of the best scenes in that movie. I know everything in that movie like the practical effects and just like the stuff they did like the rotating room like he was talking about the The first murder where the girls dragged up the wall and round like the room rotated and they use it again When Johnny Depp's character gets it with the blood going everywhere and like it's just so cool Like that's the way they did things and even stuff like simple stuff like building the bathroom set with the bathtub up high so that They could have someone underneath Heather Landocamp so Freddie can put his hand up through and the claw comes between her legs just little things like that Like I just think it's it they put so much thought into and they had they used their money Well, and they did things they didn't rely on what? You know, no this film is pretty much like a solid film The only thing that's a bit of a tractor is how it ends because not even the guys who were making it knew how to end So I don't know if from my rate Well, I don't know if you want to rate this in my silly rating system It's not a seven right? I would give it out of seven. Yes, I would give it a six She has to be kind of that ending. I'll say that's fair a little bit of the deadpan acting But otherwise know everything. I love this movie. I'm pretty sure I have it as a 10 on an IMDB But I mean granted I get dead rising in 10 on IMDB because I'm kind of but He's the guy who is a zombie. I ate my daughter. He is daughter. Yeah, I love this movie It's one of my top five films But if the rest of my top five films are not great movies either so I'm fine with the six because it is super flawed I'll agree with you. I six out of seven. I think it's fair. I just this movie is Rating aside is just so much fun and phenomenal And if you haven't seen it or you know someone who hasn't seen it make them watch it Oh, yeah, no, I would definitely yeah, I would suggest this This is a horror film that as I said has stood some time like some of the things are definitely interesting to see it is a Horror film from the 80s that is kind of an essential film. It's like the thing in my opinion I suggest the thing to everyone and Nightmare on the street. You mean one with Mary Elizabeth one set, right? Well, anyways Mark, thank you for being on the review. No problem. Yes, hopefully you will do the rest Yeah, yeah, we'll do this and then we'll do we should do Jason Jason All of them. I think that'd be fun. And then we end with Freddy versus Freddy versus Jason anyway guys Thank you for watching the review and hopefully we'll do Get some more reviews in the future the next one's the gay one that probably won't make the cut
