Shera the Great talks: Films




Slasher horror villians....

I want to talk about the new 'Nightmare on Elm street', theres a few things i just have to get off my chest....

Am i asking for too much these days when i want a horror movie to actually scare me...

For starters the gritty, despicable, 'shivers up the spine' aspect of the classics have totally gone, (see Rob zombie's annihilation of 'Halloween' for evidence).
This 'new improved' Freddie just wasn't cutting it, his burns were so well done that it actually made me kinda feel sorry for him (as opposed to terrified...bit of a problem),and even his voice started to get comical after a while.The original Fred used to keep me awake at night in total horror...this freddie couldnt keep me awake to watch the whole film.

I dont know, maybe a 18 thousand word dissertation about killers and 10 years of watching horror has de-sensitised me to what's acceptable, and whats not, (the day you can eat a chilli con carni whilst comfortably watching 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre', is the day you know you're a bit messed up). I just expected more.

how many times can i think 'he's behind you' and low and behold his trilby pops up in the background....

oh and more blood in future....I've never seen such a tame slasher movie!

she-ra is not impressed
