1 2 Freddy’s Coming for You
Freddy’s back, and in an amazing way.
Freddy is my favorite slasher of all time. Once I found out about the new movie, which just came out today, I was extremely excited to go see it.
The movie started out rather slow, killing off all the unnecessary characters, all of which were horrible actors. After they were dead the movie started to pick up the pace and it was defiantly worth seeing.
This movie was not a continuation of the series, but a reboot. Reboot’s as a whole are frowned at, usually because the movie does not stay true to the originals, but this one was amazing.
We got more back story on Freddy, and we even got to see some of the iconic scenes from the first redone. The first of which was the bedroom scene where the girlfriend goes flying around the room. This scene did not start the movie, however the movie almost back tracked to a few days before that event, expanding the original movie.
Some other scenes that were redone were the girl in the bodybag, the bathtub and the snowing scene. The scenes that were redone were not as good as the original, but were still decent. The new material was put together rather well.
The main problem I had was that the movie did not really finish. In the original, the mother was taken by Freddy, and the movie continued until Nancy ‘killed’ Freddy. In this new movie it ended with Freddy stabbing his knives through d mother’s eyes. They added more to the beginning, but they left out the end.
Jackie Earle Harley was also a great choice for Freddy’s reboot, and I hope he is willing to do a sequel. Anyone who is worried that a new Freddy is a bad idea, needs to get over change and accept the facts, this movie is good.
