It might not surprise you to hear that seven sequels to the original 1984 Nightmare on Elm Street have been created. Sadly this is no testament to the brilliance of Freddy Krueger and his dangerously long talons. Instead it shows that no matter how bad the script is, slasher movies sell. And here we go again.For the ninth time, Freaky Freddy is in the house. He looks the same, sounds the same and still hasn’t managed to cut those nails. He’s still infiltrating teenagers’ dreams and killing them off like they were flies. All in all, nothing much has changed, which leads me to this conclusion: Why watch the latest version when you can still hire the original and enjoy the historical birth of arguably one of the most successful fright characters of all time? Then again, I’m a horror-movie purist.
Rating: 1 outta 5.
