Wes Craven's New Nightmare

Getting in a quick blog post after a busy day LOL

1) This was a pretty spooky movie for the first hour. The spooky part about the movie thats about a movie is that it could happen in real life. It's why Chucky is so spooky: BECAUSE EVERYONE THINKS HE'S NOT REAL.

2) It's also scary because the kid from Pet Sematary and Kindergarten Cop is pretty spooky. Then again I think most little kids in scary movies are generally terrifying so maybe it's just me.

3) The problem with this movie is it goes wrong where the rest of the Nightmare on Elm Street sequels go wrong (which I haven't reviewed yet lol): after the first 30 minutes. Don't get it twisted, there's a bunch of Nightmare movies that are definitely top 25, but for a lot of the sequels they just get jitsu when Freddy's world gets introduced. I mean, come on, Freddy's tongue is really a weapon in this one? And what was up the stupid earthquakes the whole time? Freddy can't really have that much power over tectonic plate shifts can he?

In the end it's lightyears ahead of some of the sequels, but still well behind the rest.
