My Thoughts On the New Freddy

One Man's Mental Breakdown after the new Nightmare on Elm Street *WARNING* Filthy Language


I'm a horror fan. Always have been, always will be. I tattooed a bloody chainsaw on my forearm in ode to Evil Dead. I own most of the collections of the well known to not-so-well known horror franchises. I consider myself a decently knowledegable horror connoisseur.


Yes that includes this one...

Well, last night i decided to finally watch the new Nightmare on Elm Street film. I've purposely been putting it off because it makes me want to hit a child in the face with a bag of bricks that Robert Englund isn't Freddy. So i put the disc in the DVD player and steeled myself for two hours of disappointment. Well, i was right! Not only was i disappointed but I was flat out PISSED OFF at what they had done to one of my most beloved franchises! First of all, they fucked with the origin! Yes, Freddy was a child molester but he was also a CHILD KILLER. Dropping the murderous part of his origin and just making him a pussy chomo pissed me the fuck off. They had him screaming and crying and my rage level was brought to full on Ray Liotta Mode!


Something NO ONE should have to experiance!

FREDDY KRUEGER IS NOT A PUSSY! A sick, twisted individual yes, but never a pussy.


Pictured: Badass

Then they had all these odes to the original film, consisting of the glove in the bathtub, coming through the wall behind the bed (which looked horrible), the friend in the body bag, and running in sticky liquid/blood (which is actually an ode to number 3).


I couldn't find a pic of the new "through the wall" scene so feel free to enjoy this original much better version.

These things were less a show of respect to the creators as they were a cheap way to try and satisfy fans. Wes Craven himself (the FUCKIN CREATOR of Nightmare) said he felt disrespected by the fellows handling this remake! Me too buddy! Hell Freddy Krueger....I'm sorry I meant Robert Englund...no wait I HAD IT RIGHT THE FUCKIN FIRST TIME! Either way, the real OG approached Platinum Dunes (the company that created this monstronsity among others such as the last Friday the 13th which sucked equally as much balls) for a cameo. A FUCKIN CAMEO! He didn't want to steal the spotlight, just be involved and give the fans that little thank you we deserve.


Oh yes, a deserving bunch are we...

Platinum Douche (you see what i did right there?) DECLINED! They didn't want their version to be compared to Lord Rob's more comedic last few movies. FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKIN DICKS! YOU FUCKING DISRESPECTFUL PILES OF DOG SHIT! Now let's get to the part you've all been waiting for....well the one guy who's still reading this has been waiting for, Freddy's face! Every single time i saw the the new Freddy face i wanted to run outside and punch a kid in the stomach! He looks like a fuckin asian frog or some kind of hairless monkey! On a whole he would strike fear in absolutely no one aside from maybe a weirdo with an illogical fear of felt hats.


"....Ribbit."


And his PERFORMANCE! FUCK YOU TOO JACKIE EARLE HALEY! YOU FUCKIN SUCKED AS FREDDY! Although i admit i still hold a bit of respect for the man because he played a mean Rorschach and was the ONLY one in the special features to show repect to the real Freddy, Robert Englund. As for the heroine, the new Nancy? I FUCKIN HATED HER TOO! She acted like she was doing an impression of that actress from Twilight, which in turn made the whole experiance 10% gayer.


What are you both so disappointed about!?

And the KILLS! HOW COMPLETELY UN-O-FUCKIN-RIGINAL!
Staff Member Steve: "Well, Sam, how do we have Freddy kill this one?"
Director Sam:"Eh, use the glove."
Staff Member Steve:" But Sam, we killed the last three people with the glove!"
Director Sam:"Who's the director here Steve!? I said he uses the glove so he uses the fuckin glove!"
Staff Member Steve:" But don't you think, being as this is a Freddy movie and he can do whatever he wants in these nightmares, we could get a little more creative?"
Director Sam:"Your fired, Steve."
You see what I'm getting at people!? Oh I'm sorry, I was unaware I was watching Halloween where everything's STABBY STAB WITH THE BUTCHER KNIFE! FUCK YOU YET ANOTHER TIME PLATINUM DOUCHE! The special features were also rage inducing as they were one HUGE slap in the face of Robert Englund but I won't even get into that. So, in conclusion, in case you haven't guessed already, I most certainly did not enjoy my veiwing experiance of the new Nightmare on Elm Street and if I knew blowing up an orphanage would simultaneously erase every copy of this film, the world would be less one orphanage.



Sorry kid...


And as a special note to Platinum Douche: FUCK YOU ONCE MORE YOU POMPOUS PRICKS! IF I EVER SEE ANY OF YOU IN THE STREET I WILL STAB YOU IN THE FACE WITH A BROKEN COPY OF THIS PIECE OF SHIT FILM!(not really but seriously FUCK YOU)....thank you for reading.

And to appoligize for my filthy language, please enjoy this picture of a kitty in a box.


Mmm..adorable

    English is the hardest language to master, especially when you go about writing for public consumption. Personally I didn't have a problem with the cursing itself but rather the excessive use of it. It came off more as a bitter rant than an actual article discussing the film. On a retro scale I'll give it a pass because it does tie to a retro subject and I don't mind reading about remakes/reboots about subjects/pop culture that I loved as a kid. Just tone down the cursing. Cursing can be effective when used properly but after a while all one sees is "fuck fuck fuck".

    thumbs down for not knowing how to write! (but you do get credit because I agree with you, only I didn't watch that crap-shack waste of time)

    Thumbs up...because, fuck those guys. How dare they mess with Freddy!

    That said, write a better article next time about things that are retro and use better language to communicate.

    Really? You didn't like this movie? It was a masterpiece! (ok that was tons of sarcasm). One really good thing did come out of this movie, platinum dunes no longer making horror movies (remakes too)! But I get you don't like the movie and the fact that they replaced Robert Englund, but the harsh language and the fact that it is a new movie thumbs down. And just a bit of advice, people like to read about good memories of childhoods, not really movie reviews.

    Although I agree that the article is not exactly retro, it is about a remake of a retro movie. That said, there's too much pointless profanity. It takes away from your article.

    Also, try not to make us think that you're mentally deranged. Threatning to mame, kill, or hurt people just because you don't like something is not constructive. I'm sure you're a perfectly sane, if not highly emotional person. If otherwise, you'd probably be locked up somewhere for some horrible crime.

    I used to LOVE the Freddy movies and was disappointed by the remake. Robert E. was so good at playing Freddy, he made it almost impossible for someone to ever play him. I agree with you that it's not the same without Robert England.

    not a retro article. How many more idiots are gonna put up articles about PS3 and 360 games and movies only released on Blu-Ray and DVD. This is retro junk once again! As far as the movie goes. I don't exactly hate it but I did not know that they shut out Robert Englund for a cameo of some sort. So yeah they are disrespectful douche bags. The language in this article although inappropriate did not stop me from reading this. It might would be a good article for a movie website but not for this one and thats my biggest gripe and why it gets a thumbs down from me.

    Thumbs up, because I have an Evil Dead tattoo as well.
    arizvega Posted 1 year 10 months ago
    Wow the first one is a very good one

    I also disliked the remake but I thought Jackie Earle Haley did a great job! No one can ever replace Robert Englund but I thought he did a great job for what he was given. Other than him this movie was really bad.

    Thumbs down for this being a movie review of a recent movie and for the language.
    chillygal Posted 1 year 10 months ago
    so- tell us how you really feel:) I too hated this remake! freddy was my favorite bad guy!
    illwill2020 Posted 1 year 10 months ago
    Thumbs up for the language and the fact that I hate remakes too. Pretty soon they'll be remaking Robocop with Michael Bay and it'll suck.
    Score:
