Pleasantly good, in a disturbing way?!...

Rating: 8/10 (2 April 2007)

Channel 5 were showing this late one night and i though HAY ill watch it, i've heard how much of a classic it is in the horror film world, so i wanted to watch it with an open mind, but half expecting it to be really cheesy and full of laughs at how bad it was.
BUT it really was a good film, and the concept of the storyline was good. Although, when i went to bed i wasn't scared that freddie would kill me in my sleep like my mum said she was when she saw it back in the day.
There were some genuinely freaky bits that i was a bit reluctant to watch, but not many. At some points i did realise that this film would have probably been the equivalent to saw or something nowadays.
However i did laugh at the some of the takkiness. For example, when freddie is about to kill the main characters boyfriend and he rings her up saying "i'm your boyfriend now" and the bottom of the phone turns into a mouth and licks her face, i just found that too funny. And the acting of the lead girl was inconsistent. But modern day teens who haven't seen this film, i would advise to watch it, its surprisingly very good.
