Product: New Nightmare [VHS] (1994)
Rating: 3.0
The monster the way he should be
I hate Freddy Krueger. I don't like horror movie fans that like him. I don't think anyone should like a character that is a rapist. (Freddy Krueger raped teens before he was killed by the parents living in his town). I think Wes Craven went too far when he made Freddy into a rapist. It was bad enough that he was a Demon that killed people in their sleep. They should have never made him a pervert as well.I like "Wes Craven's New Nightmare" because the monster in the movie is not a rapist. He is just a Demon that takes the shape of a man that looks like Freddy Krueger. It is better to make a monster that does not do things that real-life monsters do. I see monster movies to get away from the disturbing headlines that I see on the news. I don't want to see a villain that hits too close to home."Wes Craven's New Nightmare" was a decent horror film because the villain was scary without being disturbing. The other "Nightmare" films would have been good if they made Freddy more like the Demon in this movie. A decent villain does not have to be a pervert to be scary."Wes Craven's New Nightmare" was also a decent film because the villain did not have all of the moronic jokes that Freddy Krueger had in the other films. I hate villains that tell jokes. Spike (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) is the only horror villain that can tell jokes while he maintains his menace.
