'A Nightmare on Elm Street' Movie Review


The dreams of the residents of a small suburban town are haunted by a demonic soul bent on revenge. As people die in their sleep, a group of young students are determined to stay up and figure out how to beat the demon and save their town.

Starring Jackie Earle Haley, Katie Cassidy, Kellan Lutz, Kyle Gallner, Rooney Mara, Thomas Dekker, Freddy Krueger is back to bring A Nightmare on Elm Street again! This remake is directed by Michael Bayers who did some music videos for My Chemical Romance & Green Day. Though he received some negative reviews on his first commercial film, I think that he did well, and it translated to box office too!  This movie open as #1 in the US.


I really liked the CGI in the movie especially on it's dream sequences with Nancy and the CGI on Freddy's face. CGI was used on portions of his cheeks that had to appear open.You better watch out for those quiet moments on this movie because there's a lot of "suprises" or else you'll end up screaming like a teenage fangirl.

They add another twist to the story, on the back story, they revealed that Freddy is a child molester and his victim is the children in the small school where he worked as a gardener. The parents finds out about it and out of their anger they burned Freddy Krueger alive. The story of the movie started 25 years after that.

Fact: one of the kids is a video blogger :D

A Nightmare on Elm Street runs for 95 minutes and it's rated PG-13 by the MTRCB. Released in the Philippines by Warner Bros. Pictures, this movie will open nationwide on May 12, 2010.

    Mukhang maganda naman to pero I wonder kung bakit ang baba ng rating nito sa imdb. (o.O)

    Was browsing for good films tapos bigla akong nakakita ng review nito which says boring daw?

    Ayos lang, madali naman akong matakot :D

Director Ryan Murphy Talks About “EAT PRAY LOVE”

Image
For Nip/Tuck and Glee creator Ryan Murphy — a man who likes change — discovering the best-selling memoir Eat Pray Love proved a real boon. The 44-year-old filmmaker read the book upon its 2006 release and felt an immediate connection. He’d even go as far as saying that the book altered his life. “It spoke to me on such a personal level,” begins Murphy, the man who adapted the screenplay and directed the cinematic incarnation starring Julia Roberts . “I read it as a fan, I had just come through a terrible break up, and what it said to me is that it is never too late to reinvent yourself. It is never too late to try to be happy. If you are in a bad relationship try and get out of it and if you don’t like where you are living, try and change it.” The book, and indeed the film, tells the true-life tale of Elizabeth Gilbert , a successful travel writer who falls out of love with her husband and suffers a painful divorce. Gnawed at by guilt, she takes a year out, heading first to Ro

Expanding Sustainability: SM Foundation’s 2nd Rainwater Harvesting System
