What a thrill ride!

Rating: 10/10 (22 April 2006)

I haven't been that scared in around twenty years when I saw Nightmare on Elm Street for the first time (when I was 7 or 8 years old). This was pure horror! I hate it when they (Movie makers) try and pass a kick-boxing, kung-fu movie for a horror flick, like we really like that. This was bone-chilling to the nth degree. And hurrah for another woman lead, even though Sean Bean is adorable.
Let's keep him for the sequel... please!
Everyone in the theater was quiet as death throughout the whole feature, with an occasional gasp and "oh my God" by the graphic extremes by these talented artists who created a very realistic version of a well-loved game (if you never played the game, take a week-end, pull all the blinds, turn the sound up on the TV, and scare the tinkles out of yourself).
One last comment... I will never hear emergency sirens in the same way again.
