I agree. I would put 4 up there too though. The first one with Alice wasn't bad. I think it would've been better but there was a writer's strike that messed things up. It was a fun movie though.

2024-10-31 12:58:39 +0000 UTCI five probably six when this came out and I convinced my grandpa to rent it for me. I didn't sleep right for a week. Parts three and four are really good. And Wes Craven's New Nightmare was really good, and really innovative plotline.

2024-10-17 06:29:14 +0000 UTCI deff vote to continue this does.. each movie adds to the mythos. It would be great if every Halloween season you covered a different series.. i.e. this one, Friday the 13th, Halloween, etc..

2024-10-14 02:16:39 +0000 UTCNot every movie intends for you to understand, right away, how we got to this point. sometimes the narrative is revealed, over time. to accuse it, automatically, as a failure in the writing, you do yourself a disservice. Some movies do, in fact have oversights, but you should give them the benefit of the doubt. Consider that there is a key rule or element that you don't know yet, and look for clues. Consider the established lore and look for your answers, rather than break all immersion (something you complain about, if the movie itself does), maybe there's just something you haven't figured out yet or has yet to be revealed.

2024-10-13 00:51:28 +0000 UTCI am glad I lost my bet. Sequels are doomed to be worse than the original, and as has already been pointed out, but this is the best series I've ever seen. I say go for it. It's just too creative as they go on (warning: yes, the 2nd one is the worse of them :))

2024-10-12 15:27:16 +0000 UTCSir you will NOT like the second movie. If you’re interested in diving deeper I’d suggest number 3 Dream Warriors (1987) and New Nightmare(1994) the rest of these movies are mediocre to straight up bad

2024-10-12 01:07:11 +0000 UTCThe producer, Bob Shaye, wanted a "shocking" ending so we all got a version that makes no sense but leads to sequels. Wes Craven just wanted a happy ending.

2024-10-12 00:13:10 +0000 UTCI'm a longtime fan of the franchise. If you decide to watch any of the sequels, the popular fan favorite is Part 3: Dream Warriors. "Wes Craven's New Nightmare" is great as well and very 'meta'. These particular sequels have Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) in them. So that is a common thread the other sequels don't have, and some others are admittedly weaker entries if I'm looking at them objectively.

2024-10-11 19:39:48 +0000 UTCAnd we're done! Wonderful reaction Sir!!! I am so glad you had a good time watching it , getting into the story and characters. 80's horror ,for me , was an amazing time to be a fan! I was a wee lad of 13 when I saw this at the theater. By then , thanks to cable and VHS , I had seen a ton of stuff I probably should not have. lol As for going on with the series...I would vote no. There are tons of horror from the 80's that would be much better IMO. Single films , others Slashers , Italian Horror , (Suspiria 1977 PLEASE!!!) , even a few like Fright Night , or Creepshow would be amazing. The 80's were a great time to be a Horror Fan , I am glad I was there , and I am glad to be here watching your Reaction Sir. Thanks Peace

2024-10-11 10:32:29 +0000 UTCHot Damn!! You chose 1 of my 31 Days Of Horror movies Sir! TY. Every year , (for over 30 yrs for sure) I watch at least 1 horror film a day during October. It's a thing me and 1 or 2 old friends still do every year , even though we're all in different states. And this being the 40th Ann. of the film , it was on my list. I saw it at a midnight screening at Litchfield Cinemas in 1984 in Chattanooga TN. It was fresh , new , and scary. We (Horror Fans) were not expecting anything like Freddy Kruger. I am looking forward to your reaction to this on in a big way. (And just to say , of all the series , I only like 1 , and Wes Cravens New Nightmare for reasons not to go into here at this time. I did enjoy some things about the re-make as well.) Young Johnny Depp is a blast! LOVE the hair! (21 Elm Street!!LMAO) Loads of cool horror trivia around this one as well. Checklist Time - Edibles workin - Check - Fatty rolled - Check - Cold Beer - Check - A Mr. Coffee , and caffeine pills - Check - Improvised mines and tripwires set - Check Ok ," Screw your pass!" Let the Horror Begin! Peace

2024-10-11 08:01:27 +0000 UTCLoved it! This movie scared me as a kid, the nursery rhyme still bothers me some...lol Try The Exorcism of Emily Rose, The Blair Witch Project , American Werewolf in London, Carrie 1976, The Others, and a often overlooked film Ghost Story (1981) with Fred Astaire, Melvyn Douglas, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., and John Houseman.

2024-10-11 02:10:26 +0000 UTCMy guess is that you’re not going to like this so much. That’s my bet and I hope I lose. Will find out tomorrow!
