Lake Dead - Directed by George Bessudo
Rating: 3/10 This movie was just plain awful. Really, just terrible. It could barely hold my attention throughout. It's formula is as generic as it gets. The "psycho killers" in this film look like the Geico Caveman. It's only nice quality was a decent gore scene in the beginning. Apart from that, it seemed really amateur, and quite frankly, boring. It's part of the "After Dark Horrorfest" which I am a pretty big fan of. This movie just didn't cut it though. If you insist on completing the entire series, then give it a go. Otherwise, avoid it.

Diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitto to both of you guys.
I found this movie to be absolute crap. And what really pisses me off is that there HAS to be other indie filmmakers out there who are producing quality films (I mean, think about movies like Murder Party or Evil Aliens - Total low budget films that are GOOD) and THIS is the kind of tripe that gets attached to Afterdark Horrorfest. Honestly, Afterdark Horrorfest gets a really bad rep, but I generally defend it - I think that it's had quite a few good films over the years... But when they roll out shit like Lake Dead, I find it absolutely embarrassing... I mean... COME ON. |

A Serbian Film (2010)

Their too smart idea to gave it a more dark tone & a real burn victim look to Freddy failed horribly. Along with Haley's Freddy all the characters turned out awfully boring throughout the movie and which resulted a terrible slow pace to carry the film till the end. It seems all the cast & crew members were forced to making the film in a limited schedule. While watching the cast & crew interview I was just wondering how people can be so blind, ignorant & stupid while they were working on such a sensitive project...to remake a so popular & acclaimed film like Wes Craven's ANOES...one of the most innovative, interesting & lovable films in the genre ever made. It was sad to see such an awful entry New Line have added to the franchise, the low rated later parts of the original was far & far better than this total piece of crap. >>: D Naboer aka Next Door (2005) ![]() An excellent psychological thriller from Norway. Check this out asap if you haven't seen it yet. >>: A-

I thought they did really well with the Elm St remake.
I like the new Freddy a lot. Dark and twisted. Of course I like the original more for sentimental reasons and the fact it did it first but the remake is solid and I hope they get to make some sequels and flesh it out some more. The original series is still there so it's not the end of the world and this film was a hell of a lot more interesting than what I could see the studios doing with it. I dunno different strokes for different folks :) |

Just Kidding, bro;) but yeah...I couldn't able to find any single scary or fun moment (except the boo in the closet was a little decent effort) in the film. 'Nancy' looked or appeared like she wasn't sure what's her part in the film. The story progressed with that hot chick Kris at first then it took little bit time to decide "okay...who's gonna now take the lead?" and throughout the film they failed to develop a single solid lead...it seems they were bit confused how to handle those characters. One of the most interesting elements of an Elm Street film is the subtle slide back and forth from the real world to the dream world which they didn't get at all right here. Moreover, there wasn't any whimsical world of nightmares. Wooden acting, complete lack of tension & suspense contributed a very low energy from the start to end and btw, I can't remember but was there any signature ANOES like background music that they use in this version?
