Review of A Nightmare On Elm Street 1-7 (Box Set) (DVD)

Freddy Returns With More Jokes Than A Stand-Up Act

Advantages: Great directing, decent acting, gory if viewing the unrated version
Disadvantages: Freddy’s still trying to be funny, the rated version Is ow on the gore, not all of the acting is exceptional

...elements gained, the film as a whole is much more likeable and has turned into one of the sequels that I don’t mind watching. Unlike “Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare,” the supposedly “last” film in the series, the film take itself a little more seriously. The dark, gloomy look of “The Dream Child” gives the audience a precedence of atmosphere that the “Nightmare On Elm Street” sequels lacked. Although Freddy is still a jokester and you’ll laugh ...
...worst and it actually provides a good time for yours truly whenever I decide to watch it. The plot is much more original; it’s unarguably the most original throughout any of the sequels. Instead of relying on the plot thread of Freddy using a victim’s dreams to claim souls, we get a more complex idea. For this entry, Alice (Lisa Wilcox) and a new group of friends have just graduated high school. Starting with this, it’s a nice detail that means ...

Review of The Reaping (HD-DVD)

The battle of science vs religion gets intense

Advantages: Entertaining enough, kept me interested
Disadvantages: Nothing special

...saw it starting on TV the other night. Unsure, I started watching it, intrigued by the blurb of it being a modern re-enactment of the 10 Biblical plagues. There are mixed reviews of it, and I could see why, although I found myself strangely enjoying most of it. Billed as a horror film, I would say it is more of a thriller. The Biblical nature of the plagues that the film features prevent it from getting a sci-fi tag, but you would be forgiven for ...
...Louisiana which seems to be the target for the Biblical plagues. Upon arrival, Katherine's scepticism remains as she sets about disproving the plagues theory, finding scientific reasoning for each and every occurrence. However, pressures from the locals to destroy Loren, the girl around whom everything disastrous seems to centre, starts making her question the very answers she herself has proven. The acting in the film is of a pretty average standard. ...
